THE BUSY EFFICIENCY IDEA.
BY DIR. VI. A. Majors.

We cannot hope TO do very much
as separate integral factors. There
was a time when with a limited
amount OF capital one could go into
some of the many lines of business and
do quite we'll, but that time has al
most passed away. Today we hear
on every hand the preachment of
cooperation, and the union of many
single forces. This argues we'll for
the future.
Many of our business people over
look the fact that a certain degree of
efficiency must have consideration in
any undertaking. The mere idea of
laying in stock of goods, purchased
at wholesale prices and opening a
store with a great variety of goods,
in a very excellent locality without
having some of the attributes of sales
manship is a very foolish venture.
Very successful men who started
under most unfavorable conditions
succeeded because they seriously re-
garded the principles of discretion,
and made themselves H. in at least
some of the qualities of being a store
keeper. Watching the fuctuating mar
ketable commodities and keeping tab
on the changing prices of butter, eggs,
sugar, lard, etc, are some of the ele-
mentary prerequisites of the business
man who dreams of becoming al
grocer. But the other thousand and
one things aside from the drudgery
sends the fellow who has none of the
qualifications of a merchant on a YER
liable fools errand to waste, and to
failure.
In few weeks a school for the e7I-
elusive purpose-of teaching our peo-
pie the business efficiency, and how
to conduct commercial enterprises
will be started at 32O1 Wabash ave.
We are making a careful selection Of
teachers with abundant experience
and knowledge who will guide the
ambitious man or woman along the
beaten paths of business efficiency.
Too long already have we been re-

CAMPAIGNING FOR THE KIDDIES

while on three sides of the room they
stood two deep and patient number

When a school graduates so large

their days occupation to do honor to
that school, an assembly hall is essen
tial.
Ii would seem that parents who are
taxpayers in this community should
look to it that their children have all
the advantages that accrue from ade-
quate school equipment; and it would
seem that landlords, even though
their interest in the community may
be pecuniary, might cooperate with
their tenants to the end that these
children may have those things which
arc necessary to promote their social
and educational growth. The Broad
