Moore, M.A_., at the `University of Toronto, recently on The Mission of the Weekly Newspaper," this signicant j paragraph was given: The metro- ; politan daily gives its" readers a pier - ture of" world news at a glance. I heard Premier Mackenzie King say the other day that the daily news- l paper is designed to give to the hurried. man of affairs a glance at ` world events as an interlude between. ` courses at the breakfast table, and is then cast aside as he rushes out to M his daily duties. Not so the weekly. It is a visitor to the home. It is kept until time` for" leisure reading is found It goes into_homes where it is read from rst to last. ` It comes into intimate contact with the people and can therefore deal far more intimate- ly with personal and community affairs. Because he realizes this--and appreciates the importance of small ~ "incidents as well as great events, the editor of the" weekly paper is not impatient of these details, personal items and local.news of every de- scription and character. `He knows that somewhere he is cheering some heart that feels its loneliness and isolation, thatshe is enabling some neighborhood to express its corporate life to realize its existence and to feel that it, too, is an integral part of the great world of affairs?
