In the main, advertising is com.
mercial proposition. Advertising space
is sold as a commodity. Considered
in its narrower aspect, 1t does not
differ materially from boots and
shoes, hats and caps. In It's broader
effects, 1t concerns the pubic vitality
Advertising is one OF the agencies OF
distribution and the public regards 1t

buy the commodities that are adyer-
tised. as they absorb the opinions
that are advertised. The average citi-
zen Is the average consumer. He has
little time or disposition to get his IN
formation at first hand, and therefore
his actions are controlled to a large
extent by what he reads.
Statistics show that between $780,
600 900 and s79O,000,0oo is spent in
this country annually for advertising.

acts of many of our people indicate
they have forgotten these facts or are
willfully closing their eyes to them.
Nevertheless, business is business
and if people can make a material
saving by sending away for the
things they need or want, they can
not be greatly blamed for doing so.
But in nine cases out of ten the facts
of the case are that taking into &C
count actual quality of the goods,
terms of sale and transportation
charges, one can buy nearly anything
he needs or wants of his home mer-
chant just as economically as he could
get the goods from any other sources,
and in many cases the home dealer
really gives better value for the mon
ey. There are three things that gov
ern the price Of any quality,
supply and demand. There is no arti-
Gle of ordinary use that the home
merchant can not buy in the open
market and there is no living man or
concern that can materially cut the
price of any article without cutting
the quality.

rightfully belongs to them, they must
convince the people by advertising and
other methods of publicity and by
progressive methods that they have
the goods for sale and at fair prices.
The retail merchant is the back
bone of the country town; the mail
order concern is it's worst enemy The
farmer needs the town and the town
must have the farmer. Every resi-

new JERSEY HAS
VOCATIONAL plan
Gives Aid to Schools That
Adopt Such Courses of
Instruction.
Washington.

Washington. Nov. 1a.-Defnite
state aid for vocational schools is a
part of New Jerseys new provision
Tor industrial education, as enacted by
the 1913 legislature and outlined in
a bulletin issued by the New Jersey
board Of education. Officials of the
United States bureau of education
who have examined the plan say it
represents one Of the best beginnings
yet made toward adequate vocational
training by the state. The New Jer-
seS work is under the direction Of l..
H.. Carris, whom Commissioner Ken
dali designated az deputy commission
er in charge OF vocational education.
A Practical Arrangement.
The New Jersey plan provides that
any school district, whether city. town.
township, or borough. as we'll as any
county. may start vocational schools
md get state money for their sup
port. Separate schools may be or
gained. or departments established
In existing schools. according to local
convenience. The thorough practi-
calness Of the plan may be seen from
the recommendations for efficient
members Of advisory boards for the
vocational schools. If the training
is for the industries, then two of the
members are to be an employer and
all SiupIoScS respectively. Representing
district trades or occupations. Where
the school is one that trains for home
duties. i. is suggested that the mem
bers shall be persons 'who have had
actual experience in the occupations
carried on in the household. as mis-
tress Of a home. house-daughter. or
housekeeper." Similarly. an advisory
board for an agricultural vocational
school is expected to have as members
at least three successful farmers of
the ncighborhood.
Amount Of State Aid.
The local community furnishes the
building and one-half the cost of
equipment and maintenance. while the
state pays the other half of the cost.
the amount not to exceed $4,000 in
any given year for any one school.
The school must be officially approx
cd by the state board Of education be-
fore it a receive any money. The
sum of $4,000 has been authorized
by law for h year. I'm BRIEF says
MI. Carris. summing up the plan.
"the state will give one for the
equipment and maintenance Of ap-
proved vocational schools on a dollar
f~or-dollar basis. in proportion to the
amount spent by the lcal community
out Of funds raised by local taxation
to the mount OF $4,000 annually"
The New Jersey authorities are par
ticularly insistent hat vocational
schools shall be established, only after
q community has given careful con.
