Secrets
GOOD
ADVERTISING
PROPER DISPLAY.

After deciding upon the purpose of
m advertisement, the advertiser de-
termines how to build it so as to at
tract your attention and get you to
read 1t.
The most important points In the
announcement are usually featured In
what is known as display lines. These
display lines are to the advertisement
what the framework is to a house.
The rest Of the advertisement Is built
around them.
Display lines are generally very
carefully chosen, both as regards the
sense they convey and the style Of
display.
The advertiser knows that If these
display lines are plain, easy to read
and contrast well with the smaller
type in the body of the advertisement,
they are likely to be the first parts of
the advertisement you will read.
Then upon their success or failure
to interest you depend his chances for
you to read the rest of the advertise
ment. So he usually chooses the most
interesting features of the advertise.
ment for these display lines, so as to
convince you that the announcement
is sufficiently important to merit your
attention.

The Board of Education has

Service Week. During this
week we have been assured
the support of the Medical and
Dental, and the Charity and
Relief workers of our district.
Thus far our nurse has work :
ed almost alone, being assisted
only by the teacher of the
pupil whose health is conccr-
ned. Lack of response of the
patrons has prompted this
movement. Parents have not
resopnded in some cases be
cause they are not aware of
the Importance Of the treat
ment recommended. In other
cases they have not had the
means to have the work done.
Lack Of response for any reas-
on means that the children
are neglected.

the parents have become
awakened TO the necessity for
the work, eleven out of seven
