The superintendent Of public instruc-

issued bulletin touching on the steady
migration of the young men OF the rural

Indiana is being sapped of its energies
by that movement, the department in
bulletin to the teachers says that they
can influence the boy to stay on the farm
and to work out its problems.
''It will be sad day for our national
life when all our young farmers come to
town; when the small, well-cultivated
homesteads give way to landed estates"
the bulletin says
The necessity OF keeping the boys on
the farm was the subject of discussion
as to what the teacher can do for the
community. A teachers power in deter
mining the industry OF a community lies
in making her schoolroom busy work

nobility of honest toll are taught.
The bulletin which is being sent out

the relation of the teacher to the school,,

One OF the most notable changes Of re-
cent years in the advertising world has
been the transformation of the old
stick-like figures in clothing and fash
ion advertisements, into graceful forms
A young woman who studied art at
Cooper Institute has had a hand in this
transformation. She went to Chicago
and became connected with an engrav-
ing house. Then she went into big
millinery concern as it's advertising
agent. One of her ideas was period
ical, the organ of the house, which she
edited and made the designs for
So successful were her ideas that in
year she found herself back in New
York with larger field opening before
her, as the designer for a great adver-
tislng agency. She draws women, swell
stunning women, on horseback, in street
dress, in carriage and reception gowns
They wear their clothes we'll, and make
every woman who sees them desire to
go and do likewise
Another woman artist became so sue
cessful in her advertising designs that
one Of the largest agencies in the coun-
try was organized to exploit her ideas,
and she was made vice president For
several years her work has been seen
throughout the country.
Her designs combine artistic ideas
and suitability to the subject In a Pc
culiarly felicitous way. For an an
nual sale Of baby wear she will draw
a group of infants so delicious that they
would indicate to any right-minded
mother that this firm has a proper ap-
probation of babies.
Few jump into an advertising man
agership with such a flying leap as did
the young English woman first referred
to. Most have attained it through
solid apprenticeship, either in art, bust
ness or newspaper experience. One of
the women recognized as most prolific
of new ideas among the advertisers of
New York began her career AS stenog-
rapher at three dollars a week.
