...likely to consider that the matter of their personal fitness is not worth much thought, inasmuch as the question is neither pressing nor easy to solve. College is usually regarded as a matter of course,--to be taken or discarded on its objective merits.

To drive for larger and larger circulations is only loading you up with a burden of your own creation. Publishers do not want to perpetrate this uneconomic thing of inflated circulations, but you force them to do it when they find you select your list of newspapers solely on the factor of having the largest circulation in town...
