Can Your Adyertising Agent
OutSell All the Rest?
This is the vital question.

This is the vital question.
Advertising agents are bad, better or best,
according to their selling ability.
Nothing else matters at all.
Advertising has only one purpose. It is
done solely to sell the goods.
If ads can be written to sell tenth more
than yours, you are wasting tenth of your
money, You are losing tenth of your sales.
Suppose you could hire the best salesman
you know at the price of tyro. Which man
would you take?
In advertising, you can do exactly that
High-class agents, whether good or poor. all
charge the same commission.
Ads that sell the utrnos- cost no more 70
insert than ads that sell nothing at all.
Getting the best is not a question of price
but of shrewdness.

girl sixteen years ago, was mortally
wounded at his Office on the fifth floor
of No. Is Broadway this afternoon by
a Chinaman who gives contradictory
reports of himself in pidgin English,
and died in St. GregOry's hospital to-
night. DR.. Wing was shot in the back
with a revolver. The bullet, entering
below the shoulder blades, lodged in the
lower lobe of the left lung.
Mrs. Wing, who is i'll herself, was
driven to the hospital I'm time to be at
the bedside. Her husband recognized
her and smiled, but at no time was he
strong enough to make an ante-mOrtem
statement.
Michael Mcdonald who for twenty
man at the Chinese consulate, identi-
fed the murderer tonight as Wong Bow
Cheung, who, he says, was formerly a
steward on the United States battle

how then, can a limited course of

President Eliot took the view that

This view has been quite generally
accepted, and as a result we have tho
elective system OF studies and its more

Sleges and even, to some extent, in sec

Or. Eliot was born in Boston, March

MORE TEACHERS NEEDED.
BY Iss Anna ckstein
BY Miss Anna ..

~ Il = J. ~ v Z
An address was delivered recently be-
fore the New England Association OF
School superintendents, in Boston, by
Miss Anna B. Bckstein. She said in
part:
The world has always had great per-
sonalities scattered here and there
through the ages. There has always
been an aristocracy of great person
alities. The task of the age in which
we live, is the building up of democ-
racy Of moral personalities-of person
alities of right conduct This is the
sense Of life today. That is the sense
and purpose, specifically, of education
today. And the fundamental work rests
with the teachers OF the schools where
boys and girls OF the age from five to
fifteen are taught. And these teachers
the world over are expected to do the
impossible. since the world over we
have forty, fifty, and sixty young chill
idren on the average in a class to one
teacher. Here lies the tap-root Of all
educational evils.
Now we know we must provide diff
ferent conditions and treatment for
the cotton plant and different ones for
the wheat plant. il we wish that every
seed shall yield the complete value of
which it Is capable by its nature. In
the same way, no two human children
require quite the same conditions and
treatment for their development into
moral personalities. Each child is a
distinct individuality, and requires indi-
vidual attention and care. And yet It is
beyond the human power Of any teach
er to give the required Individual at;
tention and care to every child"
After pointing out that the studies
are arranged for the average children
of the class and showing that while the
average children are happy because
they can do the work. and because they
are happy have neither envy nor tyr
amy in their consciousness, Miss Eek
stein took up the consid Iteration Of those
who are not average" and showed
that those who are above the average
need not make their utmost wholesome
effort and their little minds soon find
this out. They soon find that they
can get along without paying much at
tention to the teacher and are able to
give their time to troublesome conduct
and inaccurate and superficial work.
This" she said, calls forth repri-
