Too many stores advertise daily. Special Sale
'Price Reductions" To the average reader these
words have grown synonymous with certain stores
that seem to mark the establishments as being run
upon purely philanthropic principles The thought
full reader is left to decide between two questions Is
John Smiths store with its wholesale price reductions
and weekly special sales open for the spiritual glory
of its owner, the attractions merely the wordy
bait to tempt gullbe customers to visit the store?
In either case there is a loss of confidence on the
publics part However much bargain may appear
to be of true value deception must early late
rest the attention and shake the public faith in the
Firms honesty 1t would seem the special sale from
being an exception has become the rule with many
advertisers If all price reductions represented
then the profits regular goods must be enormous
at such stores 1t is quite true that goods really
advertised at regular prices therefore the practice
still accuses for the socaed reduction being based
on purely fictitious values, not reductions at all
Our ads a straightforward presentation of the
facts about the goods just you'll find them in the
store.

values look for them.

CRANE ON CORRECTION.
Philosophy of Punishment Discussed by

Before an audience composed OF high
school pupils. teachers and club ladies
Superintendent William l. Crane deliv-
cred a lecture on THE Philosophy Of
Correction" Owing to an error In the
published notice OF the lecture, which
read for Thursday afternoon Instead
OF Tuesday. many OF the club women
who were DESTROYS of attending We're
disappointed. Mr.. Cranes talk, as i
more properly might be called. was
most instructive. and was thoroughly
enjoyed. He followed from an early
date the history OF correction. especial
ly as 1t applied to public schools, Civ
ing causes and results, and objection
able features. He showed that punish
ment was not necessarily always cor
rection. and that the former was very
liable to produce hate and fear In
summing up the subject he held that
the first object to attain was that the
pupils should be brought to realiza
ton of the rights of others by being
made to understand the wrong done 20
others. His idea OF correction was that
restriction of privileges which the
others enjoyed was the best and most
effective.
