The population OF Seattle has not increased
materially during the past year, yet The Star
has made the remarkable gain Of more than
5000 circulation a daily average basis.
Business conditions generally have been
satisfactory, but not exceptionally brisk yet
The Star has made the greatest gain in vol
ume Of advertising of any year since the
A-Y.-P
While the other papers have stood still or
slumped The Star alone has shown substan-
tial, solid growth.
In April, The Star made gain OF practical
w IL per cent in advertising compared
with the same month a year ago. This.
despite the fact that the total advertising car
ricd by all Seattle papers showed dropping
off OF more than 5000 inches. compared
with April last year While the total Seattle
advertising decreased 5000 inches. The Star
alone gained more than 1000 inches.
The Stars increase of 1000 inches plus the
decrease of 5000 inches in total advertising
carried by all Seattle papers. represents the
loss of some of the other papers.
As compared with The Stars decisive in
crease OF IL per cent, only one other Seattle
paper showed any increase at all its gain
being merely nominal The other two papers
showed losses one dropping off per cent OF
its volume Of advertising and the other slump
ing to the extent OF 25 per cent. No wonder
there arc some sore-head symptoms shown.
There's reason.

RABBI MAKES plea

Rev. MIR. Freund

The regular monthly meeting of the

recitation by several of the school chill

the subject of Child Conservation" He
made an earnest plea for the teachers,
who render maximum OF service and
for whom society does not make ade-
quate compensation. Community effci-
ency, he said. Is to be obtained by the
whole hearted cooperation of school
and home. The Rabbi said:
Moral instruction can be impaired
~ the aid of pictures. The moving
regretted that what can be of great
service is being overdone. The guar
dians of the city--the children, should
pc conserved with as much care as we
pestow upon our natural resources, the
forests and the water courses. While
the complaint Is made that we do not
give religious instruction in the pub
lie schools, we are within religious
nation, instruction in the branch Of re-
llgion being given in its proper pre-
scribed place.
Make use of the school buildings
constantly, every night of the week,
and even during the summer time, Civ
ing children an opportunity to advance
more quickly where advisable and also
enable teachers to serve when so in
clined. Compensate teachers ADEQUATE

pension them. Make the teachers well
come in the home and have them visit
not only in the homes of deficient, de-
linquent and backward children, but in
all homes. Let society recognize its
great duty and obligation to the teach
ers. Make your schools pay adequately
