SHORT TALK ON ADvERTISING

copyrighted by Charles Austin Bates)
A Washington piano. house is lust now
using considerable space in the local papers
to advertise voting contest. The most
popular.school teacher in Washington is to
be presented with free trip to Europe,
lasting thirty days. The ticket is to cover all
transportation charges, hotel bills, carriage
drives, etc. from Washington to Europe and
back again.
This may be very good scheme but
doubt it. It is hardly what I would call
legitimate advertising. A trip to Europe
and the most popular school teacher have
nothing on earth to to with the desirability
of the pianos 1t will be talked about, more
or less, and in so much is advertising, but
doubt very much if it will result in any very
great good would very much rather take
the money that the trip costs and use it in
straight newspaper advertising.
Advertising properly considered, and in
its strongest sense, is merely telling people
what and where and INDEPENDENTLY why
why they should buy some particular
thing. Advertising isn't good unless it ac
complishes this, and convinces greater or
less number of people that the advertiser
and the thing advertised are just what they
have been looking for.
trip to Europe doesn't prove anything.
business, and anybody, from butcher up,
might use it with equal propriety.
do not believe in scheme advertising of
any kind. In some cases it may pay, but
they are few and far between. The kind of
advertising that can always be depended
on is the newspaper advertising. It always
does what it is intended to do, if it is proper
ly used. If it ever fails, it is not the fault of
the medium but the fault of the advertiser.
or the way he advertises
The right sort of advertisements in the
newspapers go right into the family circle.

to go. For this reason. if for no other. it is
better than any other possible method for
bringing business.
have had quite good deal of experience
in managing different outside schemes for
advertising a business and I have been
able to figure up the results rather accu-
rately. l have never yet seen an under
taking of this sort bring back enough money
to pay for itself either directly or indirectly.
The free European trip will certainly
cause more or less talk. but will it cause the
right kind of talk: Will it carry one-fourth
the conviction that straightout common
sense talks in the newspapers would do:
These are questions on which the piano peo-
pie will probably be extensively intelligent
after the contest is over.

Trade belonging to small towns
continues to drift into the larger CT
ties to merchants who advertise. When
will the business men of small towns
see that if they do not check this tide
it is only a question of few years
when all trade, with the exception of
few groceries, will be concentrated
in the large department stores of our
metropolitan towns? Advertising is
how it is sent there. Advertising is
the way to keep it from going there.
Is the future local merchant to suffer
from the greed of the present one?

EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS.

EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS.
Minnesota is fast springing into
prominence through it's educational
advantages. The University has a
standing exceeding a good many 9TH
or State universities, and equaling
nearly all of the best US of the coun-
try. The faculty is made up of IN
structors trained in their respective
branches and trained to impart in a
professional manner, the knowledge
they have gained. The various branch
es of learning all receive attention and
the student with a Minnesota U d.
ploma honestly and faithfully earned
has treasure of which he may we'll
be proud.
Our four Normal schools, located at
Mankato, St. Cloud, Winona and
Moorhead make excellent preparatory
bureaus of instruction for the coming
teacher. Although we have not yet
received the annual catalogue, the ad-
vertising prospectus announces an ell
ementary course of two years for
teachers of rural districts and element
airy grades, an advanced course of five
years for teachers of advanced grades,
a professional course of two years for
graduates of high schools and kin
dergarten training school. Moorhead
is without the latter, however. Man
kato and Winona are the two oldest
Normals in the State. The faculties
at these two institutions have record
as educators that does credit to the
State, and students preparing for posi-
tons as teachers may rest assured
that there is none better. St. Cloud
and Moorhead are later schools, al
though they have some improvements
not in Mankato and St. Cloud. Board
at all of these places can be had at
from $3 to $3.50 per week.
Pillsbury Academy at Owatonna
prepares for any American college. 1t
was founded and is endowed by the
Hon. Geo. A. Pillsbury of Minneapolis.
The catalogue announces three regu-
lar courses of study and special cours-
es in music and art and an attendance
last year of 1889. The buildings are
large, are fitted with modern appoint
ments and the advantages in music
are superior to many. The faculty is
headed by James w. Ford, Phi. D.,
and includes many names known to
bs thorough in the branches they
teach. In the musical department is
noted the names of Elizabeth Lavilla
Chollar and Blanche Sophia Halves
of this city, Miss Chollar being can
didate for graduation in music, while
Miss Halves is also taking a course in
art.
Carleton College, Mortified, is an
other educational institution from
which student can prepare for a
straight University course. Upon
passing the required examination a
student will be given a certificate
which will give him the right to enter
any University in the country. Garlic
ton is older than Pillsbury, is more
advanced than that institution, and is
considered as one of the best of it's
kind in the country. James w. Strong
is at the head of a superb corps of in
structors.
The students seeking the different
channels of education will find in
those enumerated above just The kind
of education they desire. Minnesota
students and their parents are to be
congratulated on the educational adj
vantages afforded in this State.
