GRADUATING EXERCISES OF
THE DAWSON PUBLIC SCHOOL

1t is doubtful if a high school in
the state closed its term with more
appropriate and entertaining exer-
cises than marked the formal gradu-
alton of the class of 1914 in Dawson
on last Friday evening. A departure
from the usual commencement ex-
ercises was the class journal, edited
by the tenth grade.
In the Interpretation of their re-
spective roles, the pupils showed
ability as well as careful training.
Some of the advanced music pupils
supplemented the programme, their
proficiency rejecting much credit on
their teacher, Miss Chap Saville.

est and the young editors have re-

The loyalty and fidelity of the
norobters of the Confederacy was
ovidenced by the large attendance at
tho regular monthly meeting at the
,,one of Mrs. B. NJ. Davidson Friday
afternoon.
After the devotional exercises, led
NV Miss Belle Cheatham, many mat
tors of business claimed the attention
of the chapter.
Very interesting reports were made
nv the different officials, showing that
much good work is being accom-
nlished. Especially gratifying was
the showing made of steadily in
creasing membership. Although the
LIST has been rigidly revised and
number lost by removal and other
oauses. the records still carry II res
ident members in good standing, with
several papers out for final approval.

decorate for Chautauqua and gave
the movement her hearty endorse
ment. 1t is the desire of the chapter
to express in some cordial and simple
way its appreciation of the wife OF
General Pickett, of Confederate fame,
who comes as one of the ChautauQua
entertainers. Definite action, how
ever, cannot be taken until the infor-
nation is obtained that a social fune-

time most appropriate.
Combined with the regular pro-
gramme was the observance of the
birthday of jefferson Davis, which
falls on June 3rd. The first number

Ethical Standards ofPractice Adopted
In Sixteen Departments of AdUertising

Here is the story OF the most -
yanced step ever taken by the Assoc
cisted Advertising Clubs of the World:
Underlying the splendid program OF
the tenth annual convention Of the
Associated Advertising Clubs of Amer
lea is a story of unusual interest. For
the average delegate, glancing over
the finished product. it had but little
significance. but the long list OF speak
ers. every one OF whom was leader
in his or her particular line, had only
been compiled after a great deal Of
painstaking work. The man primarily
responsible for II was John X. Allen.
advertising manager OF the Christian
Science Monitor.
At the Baltimore convention last
year the association adopted its now
famous declaration OF principles. AT
the Toronto convention il went for
ward by adopting a standard OF prac-
tice for every one OF the sixteen de-
partments OF advertising which were
taken up. This was the most impor-
tant work done at the whole conven-
ton, and marked the Toronto gather
ing as a distinctive one in the history
OF the organization.
Mr.. Allen explained the formation
of the program in an interview with
the Toronto Mail and Express ITO
begin with" he said, at rs necessary
TO get perspective of the question.
With the growing Importance OF ad.
vertising there was a feeling among
adj men that 1t must be purged OF any
Objectionable features. At Boston In
1911 Mr.. Schermerhorn. OF Detroit,
cEystallized the idea and focused all
eyes upon II. He made passionate
appeal for truth in advertising, not
only on the part Of the advertiser, but
with the publisher also, His vision
stirred the $500 men there and in
spired in them bigger idea OF adyer-
Using than they had ever had be-
fore.
