    The spread of popular education in conjunction with the coming of the machine age and its concomitants, have together sufficed to create a rubber-stamped mentality. The popular Press, the cinema and the radio have resulted in the emergence of a public, the component members of which, with exceptions so rare as to be negligible, think alike and function alike.
