Modern Advertising

The "Old Timers" are perhaps not cogni-
SAINT of the fact that the more they talk 70
people about our cheap auction trash-just
SO much free advertising we get. We are be-
levers in telling everybody what we have
through the medium OF newspapers, and at
the same time we fully appreciate the long
winded credit concerns in helping TO boom
us along-free OF charge-by calling US Cheap
John, &C.
1t is certainly no fault Of ours that they can
not legitimately compete with us. 1t only
requires money, brains and pluck.
To the average person it sounds most abb
surd to hear our brothers-in- trade trying to
make believe that the quality of their goods
is simon-pure and that Billmyer's stuff is
nothing but old inferior auction trash. We
are most assuredly here to stay, and it is
barely plausible that we would offer only
cheap and shoddy goods, which would in time
keep people away from our ranch; but the
people won't stay away. They are blessed
with good, sound, common sense (at least
good many of them), and are fiocking in
with their cash more lively than ever and to
each and every purchaser we extend the priv
iege 10 compare our goods both as to quality
and price with those of any house they may
choose.

THE type-founders' trust has come
to grief and the combination has
been smashed. About a year or so
ago all the leading type-founders of
the country met together and formed
a trust, and the first thing they did
was to advance prices to a point
which they themselves acknowledge
was unjust and unnecessary. Prices
had been high enough before. but a
tariff of 25 per cent gave them an
opportunity to bleed consumers more
heavily and they availed themselves
of it. They over-reached themselves,
however, and the consequence is
that they have become victims of
their own greed. There has already
been tumble in prices, but there is
room for still further downfall

In one Office in Washington the
Democratic administration kept in
office the last four years six chiefs of
divisions out of ten, whose salary
$4,000 placed them outside of the
civil service laws, by reducing them
to 1,S00, inside the limit of the laws.
Will the present administration do as
much? There are 400 clerks in this
Office, twothirds of whom are Repub-
licans after four years of Democratic
rule, and there would have been
more had not a larger number of
incompetents been transferred to this

THE ADVANTAGES.

This course will compel the teach
ers to study and teach the subjects
more and depend less upon what the
textbooks say. Hence, they will be-
come less slaves to the textbooks and
show themselves living teachers and
not hearers of lessons only. Hence,
the boards of education will realize
the necessity of keeping these good
teachers in the school work by paying
them such remuneration as will justi-
fly them in making teaching a life
work. Then the truth will become
self-evident that it requires constant
study and hard work to make a good
teacher, and that good teachers are
not obtained at any price that may be
offered. JOSEPH MCMURRAN.

TEACHERS CERTIFICATES VS.. SALA
DJES

TEACHERS CERTIFICATES VS.. SALA-
Who has authority to grade certifi-
Gates? 1t will be seen that the board
of examiners has the sole power to
grant or withhold certificates and to
grade them according to the merits of
the applicant. Upon these certificates
the salaries of the teachers are based
and they are the warrants by which
the teacher obtains his school.
The responsibility of the examiners
is great-greater, perhaps, than they
have heretofore realized. They have
need to exercise great care and eau
ton in the use of their authority.
There is little room for leniency or ia
voritism in conducting their examina-
tions. They hold in their power the
