NORTH STAR COLLEGE AS a BUS,
NESS INVESTMENT FOR WARREN.

| = SoSSS AL VIII.
, ages and cities want to increase in
size and Importance. Increase of pop.
ulatlon usually menas greater impor.
tance, greater influence, greater pros
perlty. North Star College primarily
| helps to attract most desirable class
! OF citizens such that are fully capable
OF taking care of themselves, and
who willingly and gladly help others
when necessary, and who know a good
thing when they see it.
z. North Star College makes War
rem home city. All who have either
attended or graduated from the school
will have greater interest in Warren
tnan In any other city in which they
! may afterward spend years Of their
| life. Warren TO them will always be
looked upon as sort of home. Many
families will also come because of
| North Star College to make Warren
| their real home.
5. Warren an educational center.
The fact that school of any impor.
tance is located in a city helps to
make the place exert a greater influ-
ence, an influence wholly good, and an
influence that can be felt far ana
wide.
4. North Star College as an adver.
t:semen: for Warren. We will ven.
ture to make the statement that North
Star CCollege has done more than any
other one thing, or for that matter
many things combined, to make War
ren known to the outside world. This
should mean much-thousands of dol
lars in direct returns TO the city of
Warren and vicinitv-And then be-
erudge the school 2 few we'll deserved
dollars! Those with means ought to
see 1t as good business investment
to give the school lift. TO their
credit, let it be said that some have
unasked done what they could for the
| school; most others, when asked, have
responded willingly. North Star Col
lege has had weekly reports and no.
tlces in number Of the church and
| local papers. Some of these are cir
culated thruout the whole United Stat
es. Then in all the Swedish and Eng.
lish church almanacs, in the ami.
versary church publications, and in
special editions of some of the widely
circulated papers, North Star College
has been placed in the same column
as all the other higher institutions of
learning, and of course, Warren is al
ways mentioned. Does this mean any
thing to the city? All that the best
advertising can do.
S. North Star College necessity.
An institution Of this kind is also a
necessity, or it would not have been
established. 1t does not exist simply
for the sake of competition. We DO
not try to compete with anybody, not
even the schools or high schools Of
our own city, altho there are some
who may think so. Even if there are
some who have said So they have been
lnisinformed. We want only those
who have not the time or opportunity
to attend elsewhere, or those who feel
that they can not get what they want
elsewhere. The next paragraph per-
haps we ought to leave out for fea:
our neighboring cities may get alto
gether too jealous. Subscribers out
side Of Warren should not read it.
6. Money value of North Star Col.
lege. Anything which brings in mo.
ney to city is usually looked upon as
desirable. Let us see what North
Star College might bring to Warren in
clear, cold, or perhaps it isn't cold cash.
Say that we should have as an aver.
age for the year SO students and each
one spend only $3.50. Amount $7500.00
If hundred students, SIS, 100000. WHO
gets it? 1t is distributed over the
whole city; but the merchant gets it
nearly all, directly or indirectly. He
knows approximately what his share OF
the trade is; he knows his per cent OF
profit; he can figure out almost tc
the dollar what his share of this sum
will be. So with all the business men
'the butcher, the baker, the candle
stick maker. Then what about the
poor editor who has to print even this
without any pay! Does he get any
share. Certainly. About once yea,
there may be something that the
school wants printed that it has to pay
for; but of course it does not pay eol
more than the value Of the paper ant
possibly some of the ink used. There
may be one score from which the edi
tor has the advantage. If he accepts
