BULLETIN: The Light...
Students,
While doing some research online I came across this very interesting wiki page. It is connected to the quote we heard today "Show the people the light and they will find the way." Well as it turns out that was the slogan for a popular news paper chain.
Here is the link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_E._W._Scripps_Company
Enjoy!
