cr 'Tis Well to borrow From the good and great 5 'Tis wise to learn, 'Tis god-like to CREATE. -JOHN G. SAXE Creating . . . that was what John Gutenberg was doing in 1440 at Mainz, Germany, when he produced the earliest examples of printing and gave the World movable type. As a result, printing spread from Mainz, up and down the Rhine, over the Continent to England, until it encircled the Earth. Wherever it went the price of reading material fell, more people could have access to books, which, formerly Written by scribes, could only be purchased by the very wealthy, literature, knowledge, culture, and recreation were spread. The Renaissance began, the Reformation followedg the Industrial Revolution introduced the present Machine Age . . . five centuries of the greatest development of the human intellect that History records. To commemorate the Five Hundredth Anniversary of the invention of printing and the great creative movement which it brought about, the 1940 PRAECO takes Creating as its theme . . . 6
