 Already preparations are being made. The programme committee of the Ad club is at work on the proposition, and will meke arrangements for the execu- tion of the various features of the cam paign as outlined In the September Voice.
 The campaign covers the entire field of advertising. Work dealing with every

 Lantern slide lectures, covering ten dis tinct angles of advertising. will be one of the important courses This method proved highly satisfactory in the past, Ia n n the future, even greater results are an- ticipated.
