Advertising
Pays

A Denver business man who
has spent $4,000 in advertising
in Denver newspapers has made
$4,000 and he attributes every
thing to his advertising in the
daily papers.
TOO few of our business
men, he says, big and little,
advertise successfully. They
lack system, do not see imme-
date results coming as result
of the first advertisement and
become discouraged"
1t takes three things to be a
successful advertiser: System,
nerve and perseverance. The
Denver man had these and he
made 100000. There's a les
son here for Hattiesburg mer-
chants.

Washington. Dec. 14:-Education
has made less progress than any other
American industry for the past thirty
years and. as a result, the United
States has had TO turn TO foreign coun-
trics-Italy. Switzerland. Denmark,
.Gcrmany-for improved educational
methods according to the annual report
OF Secretary of the Interior Franklin
X. Lane. a section of which he made
public today.
One Of The principal contributing
causes Of this state of affairs is the
fact that teaching is not yet considered
a real profession in the United States
and thai the present teaching BODY is
mad" up largely of persons who turn
TO this field as a makeshift in order
TO provide themselves with a living.
In practically all foreign. countries, cd
ucation is Il higher calling thar here.
says Mr.. Lane.
Th" ~Secrctary'S suggested remedy
to this state OF affairs is the establish
ment of model schools in various parts
of the country. To these schools he
would bring in relays ten teachers
from each state. These teachers
wOul spend AT least II month teaching
and learning i'll the model schools. At
tn" end of tine period they would go
back TO their home states primed
with the latest and most valuable in
formation on modern school work and
be prepared to direct the establish
ment of similar model schools in their
communities.
The little red school house of the
early days OF American history must
pass, says the Secretary. Modern
graded schools will turn out more
great citizens in his opinion. Com

munities should furnish transportation
facilities to enable children in coun-
try districts to reach educational CEN
tiers.
The need for a higher education is
increasing, says Mr.. Lane. He says
that ever the farmer Of today must
know chemistry, physics, mechanics.
finance. transportation and allied lore
and science to make him efficient.
The report says that teachers are
under paid.
The need for a larger appropriation
for the Bureau of Education is keen
ly felt, says the Secretary. He would
have the Bureau the great leading fac
tor which could guide modern Amer
lean school work. leading the way to
higher ideals in education.
An appropriation of 800, 900 a year
for two or three years, properly eX-
pended under the direction of the Bur-
eau of Education would give new life
10 American school work. a y the Sec
rotary.
WHAT SCHOOLS NEED IN LANES
OPINION.
Higher salaries for teachers.
Establishment of model schools for
training teachers.
Better transportation facilities for
getting pupils from country into cities.
Larger appropriation for Bureau of
Education from Congress.

POLISH FOR COFFEE BOlLEf
BY the Use Of OxaIic Acid the Utensil
May Be Kept in the Best of
Condition.

A shining copper hot-water boiler
adds much to the appearance of a
kitchen, as all housekeepers know
The boiler may be kept in a state of
brilliancy by the use of a solution
Of oxalic acid and water. Five cents
worth of the acid dissolved in a
quart of warm water will last
through many cleaning days.
Best results are obtained by apply
ing the solution to a warm boiler
After one application of the solution
the boiler should be gone over with
a cloth wrung out in warm water
and then polished with a dry cloth.
The best part of the process is thai,
no elbow grease" is required. In a
few minutes a dull, dingy boiler be-
comes bright and shining with but
little effort.
All copper articles not having a
lacquered surface may be cleaned
with this solution. and it also serves
as brass polish

Reducing llIiteracy.

Only fifteen out of every one thou
sand children from ten to fourteen
years OF age in the United States are
unable &c read and write
These figures just announced by the
federal bureau of education show a
striking decrease in child illiteracy
during the last fourteen years. In 1900
the number of illiterate children be.
tween the ages of ten and fourteen
was forty-two in every thousand. In
1910 this number was reduced to twen-
ty-two. Four years have further low
cred it more than 33 1-3 per cent
Assuming only the latter rate of de-
crease, twenty years more may see
youthful illiteracy in this country al
most cease to exist save among newly
arrived immigrant families Nor can
the present rate of improvement fail
to produce in the same period a
marked change in the percentage Of
illiteracy in the entire population Of
ten years and over-which in 1910 was
~, or seventy-five illiterates for every
thousand.
