POOR SALESMANsHlP.s.

Did you ever hear such a. remark
as this: 'I've gone into that store fol.
the last. time. I've been there tive

with my mind made up as to what I
want and come away with exactly the
thing I don't want?" asks the Omaha
Bee. The answer Is that some clerA
more Jealous to make a sale than to
please has messed things up very badly
for his establishment by inducing OF
persuading this patron to buy an ar:
ticle which he did not want Z. Most
any sklllful clerk is eloquent enough
to do such thing if he sets his head
to it. But the clerk who appreciates
the indispensable value: to his store
of a satisfied customer will hesitate
to use his powers in that way. While
it is strictly the business of the clerk
to make the best possible immediate
sale, it is larger part. of his bust
ness to build up and hold trade, and
that is not done by cunningly forcing
a patron to choose between two ar.
ticles the very one he especially OBJ
jects to, even though the margin OF
profit be wider than on the other
Salesmanship is something of an in
exact science, as successful merchants
and statesmen, of course, realize, and
the more of the sound theories that
get into practice over the counter the
better for both the man behind the
counter and the one behind him. NO
store can have a more valuable asset
than a satisfied customer. =. y

Does a High School Education Pay?
BY Roy Divers

Education consists essentially Of
two elements, trained mind and an
accumulation Of ideas. Our public
schools from the. lower grades. to
the high school are designed chiefly
to- train the mind, and while college
work does this also, the accumulation
OF: ideas becomes the most important
part of a collegiate course. In our
age of books. periodicals and news
papers, ideas crowd in on us from
all sides. But all of this Isl Of no avail
unless our minds are capable. of di-
costing them and giving proper
weight and value to the information
that domestic hand. . It requires syst
tematic mental drill to enable one
to think logically, clearly and ably.
Ingenuity comes from within. Its

That fire losses in the United States
in 1920 reached a total Of more than
$500,000,000 was the point to which
w. E. Mallalieu, New York, president
Of the National Fire Protection asso-
citation, drew the special attention Of
delegates in opening the twenty-ffth
annual convention Of the organization
at San Francisco. ThougA-there had
been no single great confagration, he
said, accumulated carelessness had
produced loss almost equal to that Of
1906, the year Of the San Francisco
fire, and greater than that Of any
other year in our history. He urged
that the convention must weigh this
fact carefully. Fire prevention, (he
said, is the outstanding, problem of
human society upon this continent.

The part played by Australia in the
war has directed world-attention to
her in way that nothing else could
have done. Prior to the war the COM
monwealth was but imperfectly
known even in nations claiming to be
widely Informed; the role Australia
sustained in Gallipol1 and the other
war theaters radically altered mat
tiers in this regard, says the Western
Mail (Perth). Not only has she be-
come better known, but with increased
knowledge has come recognition Of her
as a factor to be reckoned with in
international, political and commercial
relationships.
