VANDERBILT CONTROLLED.
By Conference and Nest Remain
Uuder Direction of Methodist
Church, Others Elected.

/ NSAAGASA4t N<hAASAO 4@lNSl(O*
Asheville, N. e., May 13-That Van
derbilt university is the university Of
the Methodist Episcopal church, SOUTH
and that it must be controlled by the
church, was finally decided by the gen,
eral conference this morning, when the
report of the committee on education
was adopted. This finally settles one
of the most troublesome disputes with
which the church has had to deal.
There were two factions. One was
headed by the university chancellor
and the trustees. The rules of the
church are for the naming on boards of
trust of men not members of the
church if men as competent can be
found in the church. The trustees Sc
lected several men outside the church
for such positions, including one of the
Vanderbilts. Then there came move
to do away with the selection of the
trustees by the conference and make
that body the trustees, self-perpetu-
ating body. The college bishops went
on record as opposed to this innova-
ton. The adoption of the report shows
that the stand of the bishops is APP
proved.
Following the adoption of the report
the conference elected to fill vacancies
on the board of trust, M. e, Harris, of
South Carolina; A. w. Riggs, Of Ten
nessee; b. A. CODY, of Texas.
+. S. Parker, of Louisiana conference
was chosen Epworth League secretary
and editor of the Epworth Era.
j. E. DicSey, president of Emory
college, Georgia, was chosen secretary
of the board of education on the fourth
ballot.
d. M. Smith and Rev. A. J. Lamar
were reelected as publishing agents by
a large majority, after which an ad-
journment was taken for lunch.

"ADS" A GAMBLE
SAYS SCHLESINGER
General Manager of Emporium
Urges a System to In
dicate Returns

The necessity Of some system indi-
eating the returns which would follow
from an advertisement was declared
by 3. F. Schlesinger, general manager
Of the Emporium. TO be one of the
great needs Of present day merchan-
dising in a speech delivered at the
weekly meeting and luncheon of the
Advertising Mems association of San
Francisco at the Techau tavern yester-
dav. Schlesinger was the main
speaker Of the occa sion and based his
remarks on the merchants view Of
advertising.
How is a merchant to Judge he
asked. "of what mediums are the
proper ones in which TO advertise?
Every newspaper maintains corps of
solicitors. each claiming that his re-
spective paper is the best. that itGhas
the largest circulation and that the
cost for advertising is less, according
10 its circulation. than any other. The
same arguments are advanced by every
solicitor. no matter what the rate may
be. In the last few years merchan-
dising has risen to an exalted and
sSentif7c plane In former years the
buyer went 10 the market and bought
what the salesman had TO sell, and the
merchant did not know, until the pub
lie came to buy, whether the purchases
were right or not. Today scientific
methods and better records have
placed buying and merchandising on a
surer footing
To-day advertising for the average
retailer is the same gamble as ii was
10 years ago. It would appear that
the owner of advertising mediums
should furnish advertisers with surer
returns and not allow advertising TO
remain the blind gamble which it
seems to be-
The newspaper solicitors beg the
point at issue. When o test advertise
ment is inserted they state that the
advertiser should not judge by imme-
diste results, but look to the future
for profits. Unfortunately the firms
which have been established for num-
bers Of years and from which a large
part OF the advertising is expected are
looking for immediate returns. This
is q problem for the publisher to
solve
J. Charles Green. who followed
Schlesinger, said that the best test of
advertising and its value was TO Judge
by the business brought in by cumu-
lative advertising.
We may term advertising a blind
proposition or a gamble, but / wish to
say that the biggest money is made
on blind propositions" he said. If
each OF US knew just what our returns
from an investment would be before
we made it we would be rolling in
wealth.
Other speakers were Walter F.
Foster of SeaNle. George W. kleiser
Of Portland Thomas H. B.. Varney Of
Los Angeles and Harry Knight of Los
Angeles. William Woodhead, president
Of the association, presided.
