It is impossible to estimate the amount
OF free advertising city secures as the
direct result Of such convention as the
National Educational association, to be
held here next July. If paid for at regu-
lar rate this advertising would cost
thousands of dollars. That it is Of direct
advantage to the city at large can not be
disputed.
Since the association decided to come
here the local convention committee has
! spent much time on the work of public
ity; and that work is being accomplished
with marked success. In his Office in the
/ Andrus building, Secretary Wallace G.
]4Nye has list of $50 educational journals,
to ALI OF which material either has been
or will be sent designed to attract visit
ors to Minneapolis 1t is doubtful whether
!, any class of trade.or professional journals
! in the country reach more desirable
clientele than the school periodicals; and
all of them are devoting no small amount
| of space to Minneapolis and it's accessible
suburbs.
The articles published are written here,
and are sent on, together with illustra-
tions. This insures their accuracy and
permits the introduction Of what is tech
nically known as local color" Among
| those already published is a descriptive
history of the state university, which APP
School and Home Education periodi-
| cal issued at Bloomington, ILL.,, and which
has large circulation throughout the
| middle west. The article required two
and half pages of space, and was illus
| trated with photographers of the library
building and university armory.
The ''School Journal" published in New
York city, has printed two articles on
| Minneapolis, and will print a third in the
fire told ~ ho IN
dustry, the second described the Mime
apolis lumber industry, and the third will
| have to do with the city in general. All
are copiously illustrated.
The New England Journal Of Education,
published in Boston, prints this month
an extensive article on the public library,
by Dr.. Hosmer, city librarian. Next
| month 1t will have an article on Mime
tonka, written by Miss M. e. Andrews, of
| the central high school.
An article on "The Public School Sys-
| tenn of Minneapolis by Miss Jean l..
| Goudy, principal of the Washington
school, has been forwarded to a number
| Of journals for publication, and will ap-
pear shortly. It is illustrated with pho
| tographic reproductions of several of the
| Minneapolis schools. These are only a
| few of the articles already published or
| soon to appear. The list might be con-
tinued almost Indefinitely.
| From now on the publicity department
| will devote much of it's time to the prepa-
ration of brief articles, illustrative of
short side trips to nearby points of in
terest. One of these will be "a Day at
the Dalles,' another, "A Day about Min
netonka," Northern Minnesota Lakes -
''The Pineries," "'The Red River Valley"
.,'The Iron Range and so forth. These
articles are intended as advance guide
| books. They will give the time consumed
on the trips outlined, the points Of inter-
est to be seen, the cost, including hotel
and other Accommodations, and the distance
from Minneapolis. - r.
In adopting this plan the committee
has taken the broad ground that such a
convention as that of the National Eru-
cational association can not
be considered a city affair, but that 1t
should, rather, be regarded as belonging
to- the entire northwest, and that the
northwest should be made to reap its
benefits. - .+.t..- s,
