There are people who say there is science in
craftsmanship. Ask such people what is sales

and as rule they cannot answer either ques-

In the first place, craftsmanship is the sale of
goods "for profit. - Anybody can dispose Of
goods by cutting prices and sacrificing profit !;

craftsmanship. In the second place salesman

TO TEST HONOR SYSTEM
Chemistry Class at the "U' VIII Make :
Trial =

: Ever since the midwinter examinations,
the question Of how to root out the evil
of ''cribbing'' has been a pressing one at
the university. The honor system has been
suggested as possible remedy and has
been the subject, of earnest discussion by
both faculty and students. =, D.! ....-.
The chief argument which has been ad-
vanced against the plan has been that
examinations without faculty supervision
would afford the dishonest student a
greater opportunity for unfair practices,
while supervision does no harm to the
honest. man. In answer to this the adj
vocates Of the system say that the stu
dents themselves will, If left to regulate
matters, take measures to prevent cheat.

y And about science, Spencer tellssus that sci

edge which has been classified, co-ordinated,
logically arranged and severely tested.
The science Of craftsmanship consists Of the
basic laws, truths and principles which govern
in the art of selling, and these SO thoroly
classified and logically arranged as to consti-
tute organized knowledge. @
In the matter Of permanent and increasing
success there is such thing as luck or chances
it is all governed by laWs-natural laws. These
laws are mental, moral, spiritual and physical;
work in harmony with these laws and one en-

only partial success just the make a living
kind; violate many of them or few of=them
grossly and he pays the penalty in failure.
The science of craftsmanship as we teach it
by correspondence enables you to work in har-
mony with the laws of success consciously. This
enables you to grow little stronger in every
way; just a little stronger every day. And how
much that means, to grow little stronger

majority.

Republican majority for Cobb, governor,
