more for July.
While honOring and crediting the
country-bred boy for his well-earned
success in the city, the honor due the
country-bred boy who succeeds on the
farm should not be forgotten. Indeed
it is question whether he should not
have the greater honor. Opportunities
for material success seems so much
greater in the city than in the country,
inasmuch as the hundred failures in
the city are overshadowed by the one
success, that it requires considerable
strength of character for the country
boy to stay at home and build up sue
cess upon paternal acres or to move
upon new land where he may follow
the footsteps of his father, with ad-
vantages, however. of which the
father never dreamed. 1t is a hard
life, that Of farming, but no whit hard
er than the life led by the successful
city man, and it has its peculiar COM
pensations. The man who owns and
works his own plat of ground with the
ability to make ends meet every year
is the most independent citizen of the
United States. The average success
ful city man is one of the most de-
pendent citizens of the United States
and upon no one, perhaps, is he more
dependent than upon the farmer.

The South Carolina College
for Teachers.

Although nearly approaching its cen
tenntA anniversary, the South Carofina
! College shows none Of the decrepitude
Of old age, but rather increasing signs
Of vigorous life. A new departure of
great importance to the College and TO
the State has just been maugurated.
For some years the College has had a
department. Of pedagogy, for the train
ing Of teachers; but last winter, for the
first time, the Legislature created a
number Of endowed normal scholar
ships, one for each county. 1t Is the
intention Of the Trustees and Faculty
to set these scholarships upon high
plane, and to seek thereby to qualify
superior young men for positions of
leadership and influence In our public
schools. However largely women May
be employed as teachers, the work OF
superintepdence, direction and control
must continue to be most largely IN the
hands of the men; and 1t Is to supply
these teachers Of leadership and in
fiuence, in the community as well as In
the schools, that the College will chiefly
aim, through these scholarships. Hence.
no young man under nineteen years OF
age will be eligible, and preference will
be given to those applicants who have
already taught with success for at
ledSl OuS year.
A special and technical course Of
study has been established, on high
yet practical plane; and it is intended
that this department shall be worthily
entitled to be called college for
Teachers" Al the work will be dis
tincavely normal, and apart from the
regular College classes. The Trustees
and Faculty feel sure that in preparing
a body Of strong and well equipped
men teachers the College will aid in
supplying one of the most important
needs Of the State. They hope, also.
that this work, in it's success and its
results may meet with such public ap-
proval as to lead hereafter to its still
further enlargement.
Circulars have been issued giving the
details of regulations and course Of
study. +
The present session, now nearly
ended, has been very encouraging. Not
a ripple has disturbed the internal
peace Of the College. The new Erea-
dent has won golden opinions, and has
more than maintained the confidence
and affection gained in his long service
as professor. The friends Of the Col
lege look hopefully forward to the con-
tinued success and increased usefulness
of this venerated institution, which viii
soon enter upon its second century Of
honorable history.

A SUGGESTION
Which Claims the Merit OF Novelty,
At Least

I have often wondered why some bright ad
man has never conceived the idea Of having
an ad set in imitation OF newspaper. ~
seems to me that an ad in this style would
attract attention by Its novelty and that IL
would pay 10 make II permanent feature.
My Idea of a "newepaper" ad is to have
the ad printed on four pages OF the news,
paper next to the fold so 1t can be cut out an q
TAX en- to the store or saved for future refer.
ence. In short, 1t would be "store paper
in a newspaper. The ad should occupy
space of not less than 6x9 Inches on the hrst,
second. seventh and eighth pages, (or third,
fourth, fifth and sixth pages) and be- set next
to the fold.
The first page Of the ad should be set in
imitation OF the first page OF regular news.
Roman type; the "ears," or spaces before and
after the title, might contain the weather
predictions and m Mature almanac Tor the
Then comes the body of the ad, which should
closely follow the usual make up OF q news.
paper; the principal events of the day al the
right OF the page With double column nm scare care
headings In smaller type, I'm White Goods"
"Now's Your Cnance,' "Prlces Cut for One
Week" etc., 10 be followed by an itemzed
list, with prices, in body type (about poipp
sert two or three regular display ads.
The second page printed on the second or
fourth page Of the editorial page and should
contain he title, name Of publisher, mum Der,
date and an editorial or store talk about the
policy, management, etc., Of the store. No
display on this page.
The third page OF the ad might contain
three or four small display ads. each adver

without display other than the heading.
The last page might be one large or several
small display ads.
would have the firm name ir each OF the
display ads and at the foot OF the reading no
tice ads in body type. and the title and date
at the top OF each page. The idea Ia to make
the ad look as much like miniatue news
paper as possible. There should be heavy
rule around three sides Of each page and q
good margin between the rule and the body
OF the ad. Copy should OF course be changed
with each Issue OF the paper.
The display ads should be set In different
type from the other ads in the. newspaper,
and 1t would be we'll to have the columns
set in about ten or eleven ems plea Instead OF
the standard measure If the paper Is willing
TO do so.
The foregoing is a suggestion for q style OF
ad that have never seen used and l hope
will be of benefit 10 some one.
