 Bishop Candler sounded the keynote of his address when he said that In stitutions of learning are the power houses Af civilization, where forces for social, moral and intellectual growth are generated"

one or the best examples of mail
humbug is quoted by former
Postmaster General Cortelyou. Frank
Hitchcock. Assistant Attorney Edwin
W. Lawrence and others who had
personal knowledge of some famous
frauds:
A company of New York advertised
to give away "a new automatic ten
sion sewing machine" all charges
prepaid. ito all persons who would
sell thirty packages of washing blue
at 10 cents each and remit the S3
thus collected. The advertisement
was illustrated with a picture of

granted that it represented the ma
chine they would get. AS matter
of fact, they received a toy machine.

fastened on the edge of a table. of
no practical value. but quite fittingly
named, THE Soezy Sewing Machine"
Proof that the impostors had antici-
pated complaints and safeguarded
against any action to recover is found
in a circular letter accompanying the

you do could understand the adver-

way it was intended.
You will notice the first word in
the advertisement is Free" That
means that something is given away
and appears in the advertisement to
attract the readers attention. Then
