gone to pray for their father and that

and he does better work because there are no frayed edges or shiny seams to belle his prosperity.
 Well selected furniture. properly placed, reacts in the same way on of flee employees. It is tangible evidence of the importance of their work and, Tn their business and social world marks them as members of a progressive or ganization. They take pride in their work which would be impossible other wise and which is demonstrated in in- creased loyalty and efficiency.
 Effect on the Public
 With the public the appearance Of an office has a distinct advertising value Unconsciously it affects the decisions of visitors whether buying or selling The office housing dngy, ill-matched furniture, placed a random, arouses the suspicion that perhaps the firm is just haphazard in it's methods of doing business.
 On the other hand an office fur nished in good taste registers as force fully and in the same way as q good rating in Dunn or Bradstreets. The majority of men can trust to their own good taste and judgment in securing
Arizona republican., 1920-05-02

this latter effect, but the proper selec- tion and arrangement of office furni- ture involves careful study
 Take the brotherhood of get-rich- quick artists for example. They rent a handsome suite of offices and seek for a studied effect in equipping them with ornate furniture, heavy rugs and rich draperies. The visitor is duly i'm pressed with these evidences of appar- ent prosperity and his confidence is more easily gained
 Impression Desired
 The same psychological fact may be used to good advantage by the man engaged in an honorable, legitimate business. The effect desired in most offices is that of orderly efficiency, stability and quiet confidence. It Is gained most easily in furniture Of strict simplicity of line and finish. with one standard design used throughout the office.
 Desks, tables and chairs should match in design, finish and weight Furthermore the various pieces of 1ur- niture should be in proportion, not only to each other, but to the size of the room. Nothing is more incongruous than an over sized desk in a small room, or a massive desk with cha1l of slight proportions.
 Finally there is this to remember. :. The man who is building a business for permanency must expect to spend sixty per cent of his waking hours tn the office Therefore it is for him to decide whether or not so large part of his life shall be spent in cheerful harmonious surroundings.
 He looks for comfort, convenience and durability first: sbut in the same degree he wants furnishings and furnl- ture of which he will not tire easily, which exert no depressing influence and which will interpret his personal ity.
 The business office today must do more than merely serve the man. It must reveal him. It's furnishings should properly express all that his business represents-in ideals. purposes and ac- complishments. Decidedly the appear ance of an office deerves careful thought.
Arizona republican., 1920-05-02

No. '
 Why does the businessman Of today give so much thought to the appearance of his office? An office exists primar- fly for service Does the appearance of an office affect it's utility? Even a casual study of the subject must lead us to decide that the selection of fur niture and furnishings and their ar engagement in office will influence both employees ands the public
 Considering it. from the angle of the employees, standardized furniture, har- Inonious in design and arrangement, means greater efficiency. Let a man put on new, well-fitting suit of clothes and he not only IS but FEELS dressed up." His self respect increases

School Inspector 70 be Here.

E. n. Noteboom; state inspector
of the rural schools which have ap-
piled for state aid has advised the
county superintendent that he will
be in the county February 2l and
% fer inspection.
The county superintendent has
sent circular letters to the school
boards and clerks of the districts
urging them to take an active
interest in the state aid proposition
and make the necessary application
so that they can receive it. The
schools and the teachers must make
certain standards before they can
receive the aid. which is in addi-
ion to the state apportionment,
ana which amounts to $3.50.
The teachers must hold first
grade certificate and the school
boards should urge tie teachers to
take the examinations which will
be given February l9-20-2l. The
building must measure up to
certain requirements. such as good
ventilation, lighting. heating and
seating arrangements. TIL, school
term must be nine months, or the
equivalent in number of days of
school.
This new ruling, which went into
effect this year. enables the school
to receive the additional aid, and
if the school has been having only
eight months Of school. the aid will
enable them to have nine months
without any additional cost.
| Only one school in the township
| is given the aid. SO that the first
| school to qualify will receive it.
and it is necessary the application
be filed before the 18th Of this
month.

Big Stone Apples Takes First Prize.

Big Stone Headlight. The Whet-
stone Valley Fair officials sent an
exhibit Of about twenty-five vari-
ties of apples to the annual meeting
of the state Horticultural Society,
he'd at Madison recently, and the
collection took the first premium,
$50, for the northern division.
Prof. Hanson writes that the col
lection was greatly admired, and
that the MILESTONE Vallev Fair
officials are doing a great work in
bringing the fruit-growing possibil-
tiles of this region to public notice.
Among the varieties sent down
were number of Wealthies. still
in fine condition. though they had
been kept in cellar. and not in
cold storage. The Northwestern
Greenings were also extremely fine
specimens.
AL these apples were selected
from exhibits at the MILESTONE
Valley Fair, and kept in C. Puder's s
root cellar. BY the way, the
Pude rs have some very promising
seeding apples which have been in
bearing for some time. among them
a Seeding from the Bellflower,
which is free bearer and hardy,
and a fine apple, and a late keeper.
They also have three other kinds,
namely the Pudereski, the Artah
and Caro-, two Of which are promis-
ing winter sorts, and all hardy and
good bearers. Some of these are
being topworked into other stocks.
and it will not be long before they
will be commercially available.
The Wealthy apple made Peter
Gideon and Lake Minnetonka fam
Gus, and it would not be surprising
if another generation of apple
growers found the Puder orchard a
suitable place for putting up q
monument similar to the one that
marks the Gideon farm, near Min
netonka.

'Niaht SChOOl'tO start February 20

Tentative plans for the night
school in which the prescribed
studies for Americanization have
been completed and the first meet
ing will be held in the court house,
Friday. February 20. The meet
ing will be in charge OF County
Superintendent Miss johnson and
Prof. H. C. Souder, principal of
the Milbank school. The courses
Of study will be outlined and the
applicants examined ard classed.
There have been several offers of
assistance in teaching and it is
possible that they will be needed as
indications are that there are a
cuite a number that will take ad-
vantage of the classes.
The need for such classes is i'm
narrative. 1t was clearly shown
during the examination of the ap-
p,icants for ma turalization papers
during the last term of court; only
two out Of the twelve passed.
MANY of the foreigners cannot read
or write the American language and
it is impossible for them to get
the necessary information without
assistance. These classes viii: teach
them to read and write and at the
same time teach them the funda-
mental principles Of the American
government. History, civlcs, state
and national government will be
taught, so that the man can ago be-
fore the court when applying for
naturalization papers and pass that
examination. The examination for
papers has become more strict and
riged as America wishes the clti-
zens to know the underlying forms
and principles Of the government
before giving him the greatest OF
all privileges.
Those who failed to pass this ex-
animation will have to appear be-
fore the next term of court and II
they fail then. they will be denied
the third chance ard lose the rights
forever. The necessity for this
school is evident in the face OF these
facts. One Of the men who failed
to pass pleaded with tears in his
eyes and voice for a chance to learn.
for some one to help and teach him,
as he could neither read nor write.
Such cases cannot fail to stir the
heart of every American born cl.'-
zen realizing what it means to him.
1t is urged by the superintendent
that every man or woman who Is
not a citizen take advantage OF this
school, and for every citizen to give
help and assistance in making this
public, so that it will be known
that such school is being held.
