permanent place in the industrial

and railway equipment, according to a
report by Allen Walker, mana ger of the
international Trade Service of the
Guaranty Trust Company. Mr.. Walker

South America.

brands of mems hosiery, shirts and

the shops. American hardware, soaps,
notions, plated ware and cotton and
silk piece goods are we'll established
IN this highly competitive market.
Careful inquiry, says Mr. Walker,
shows that fundamentally similar
methods have been employed to intro
.duce and popularize these American
products. Responsible men were first
sent TO study the field.
Once established, these American en-
terprises have been content to grow
slowly and to adapt their methods OF
business to national and local condi-
tions; they have employed as managers
men of fine judgment and good person.
aiity; they have begun by winning the
confidence Of the peopln with whom,
they expect to do business for years tc
come-and they have continued to hold
their respect. They have sent com
petent men to select their agents
where they have needed distributing
agencies outside of their own local
headquarters; they have advertised
wisely and conservatively; they have
taken pains to demonstrate the quality
and superiority of their goods by actual
tests, and they have fitted their sales
campaigns to conform to local customs
and requirements.

Hirshfield Gains
Access TO Schools
To View Supplies
Board of Education Writes
Commissioner He May
Make Inspection; Action
Follows Cilbert's Opinion

The Board of Education decided at
its meeting yesterday, after hearing
an opinion given on the subject by
Frank B. Gilbert, acting state superin-
tendent, to notify David Hirschfeld
Commissioner of Accounts, that within
certain legal limits he had the author
ity to inspect the supplies in school
houses.
This decision, it is thought, will put
an end to controversy between Com
missioner Hirshfeld and the board.
which reached an acrimonious stage
when Commissioner Hirshfeld wrote
recently complaining that he had been
denied the right to inspect school sup
plies by order of DR.. William l..
Ettinger, Superintendent of Schools
and intimating that members of the
staG were profit ng by the sale to
the schools of text books they had
written.
in giving his opinion as to the juris-
diction of the Commissioner of Ac.
counts in the matter, Mr.. Gilbert inter
preted the decision of the Court of
Appeals in the case of Hirshtield VS..
Cook as follows:
at seems clear that the jurisdiction
of the Commissioner of Accounts ex
tends only to investigating as to facts
pertaining to the purchase, delivery
and acceptance of textbooks, supplies
other materials. He has no iuris-
diction to inquire as to the reasons
for the purchase of such textbooks
supplies and materials, nor may he
inquire as TO the particular method OF
distributing the same. These matters
pertain to the conduct Of the school.
and are educational and not financial
THE Commissioner of Accounts may
therefore, go into the schools and may
conduct an inquiry, as provided undel
the statute conferring jurisdiction
upon him, as TO the textbooks, supplies
and materials delivered at such schoo
, buildings and the amount thereof or
hand at the time of the inquiry"
