We have developed very recently very great
business with Oriental countries which, before the

We must hold this business and build II to

This can only be done by establishing steam

DEPT. STORE EDUCATION

Practical methods of special train ing for saleswomen are described in Bulletin 1917, No. g ,issHed by the United States Bureau of Education Of the Department of the Interior. The bulletin describes the work of the Boston School of Salesmanship under Mrs. Lucinda Wyman Prince, togeth- CT with the. developments of similar work in a number of other cities.
 The Boston School of Salesmanship, as described in the bulletin, repre- sents an attempt to better the eco homie condition of sales girls by giv- ing them specific training. The plan calls for actual selling experience as part of the training. To accomplish this a cooperative arrangement was entered into with a number of Boston department stores. So successful was the Boston school in producing effec- tive saleswomen that the school of salesmanship is now recognized as a valued training center. From Ros- ton the work spread to New York, Washington and other cities.
 The purposes of the school of salesmanship are thus outlined by Miss Helen Rich Norton, the author of the Bureaus bulletin:
 (I) ITO make. advancement Tn the profession depend on efficiency and not on years of service.
 (2) To increase the pupils power of judgment.
 (3) To discover whether or not a girl is fitted for the vocation of sell ing.
 (4) To give the girls worthy stan dards.
 In regard to the latter, Miss Norton declares: This is the broadest and most important of the aims of the school, for it deals with the. girls as individuals, not as mere workers. Many of them leave the stores for one reason or another and for these the school provides a training quite as valuable as if they were still selling; training, moreover, which they re- ceive from no other source. Inn proved standards of living, better fiab- it's of thought, higher interpretations and ideals-these develop the power of the industrial worker because they take root in character and bear fruit in all human relationships"

New York, Sept. 1S-Many' of the active stocks moved within marrow fange in the early trading today. Bearing feeling was less evident in some shares which have been under heavy pressure recently, but in other quarters selling was renewed, and the general movement was irregular. Bethlehem Steel, selling ex-rights of per cent, was again depressed. U. $. Steel opened at a fractional gain, but failed to maintain its ad- vantage. Heaviness appeared in the public utilities. The Marines, St. Paull, Mexican Petroleum and Dis tilleries' Securities were strong. A block of $40O,00O Liberty bonds sold at par.
 Attempts by bears to uncover weak spots and bring about a renewal of general liquidation were responsible for a sharp break in prices. A num- Der of shares sold at the lowest oh the current downward movement. Ev- idences of an oversold condition subse- quently caused short covering, which pushed up prices one to three points from the lowest. Steel rallied from 104 to 105A. The bond market was easier.
