They saw the value of every step which brought people into closer communication with each other. They knew this to be the one way to increase under- ‘The Advance of Understanding standing; and to eliminate the “host of petty jealousies, blind- nesses and prejudices, by which the Public alone have always been the sufferers.” Then came the telephone.
