Two Sides of Turnover

The alert business man deal
ing with present day condt
tons knows that the big word
today is Turnover" Wheth-
er he be a merchant, manu-
facturer, jobber, or banker. he
sees that one thing with a
clear vision unbiased by the
limits Of his own business, 1t
IS m the air, and on the tip Of
every tongue.
And yet many OF them-entirely too
many-are thinking on only one side Of
Turnover. They think of it az meaning
rapid selling-putting money In and get
ting Il out quickly and at profit They
realize ths, they must put greatly inceas-
ed efforts back of all their plans for selling
and distribution.
The other half of Turnover is the con-
suuc7. All selling plans and efforts fail if
the consumer doesn't want TO buy. His
desire for the product must be created.
He must meet the seller half way. He
must be in 6 mood to buy before the
salesman meets him across the counter

hesitate to use a jacklight. This
method of taking deer gives the game
no chance OF escape, as the fascinated
animal stands gazing at the light
and offers a target which the veriest
tyro can hit. Once general, this
method has been banned for years
along with the practice known as
dogging, which consists Of running
deer to water where they can be
overtaken in boats and slaughtered.
Both practices disappeared under
the pressure exerted by sportsmen.
The killing of does is also prohibited
and there could be little sympathy for

Boston Retaliates on Poe.

Boston, the birthplace of EDGAR
ALLAN PoE, has destroyed the sole
memorial she ever erected to her
distinguished son. His name has
been removed from one Of the Hub
landmarks. BY decree Of the City
Council three lamp posts at the cor
ners OF little triangular space at the
junction of two converging streets in
the South End which formerly we're
lettered Edgar A. Poe Square" are
now inscribed Matthew Emmett
Ryan Square The shade OF "The
Ravens" author will brood there
nevermore.
II was a measure OF severity, but
II was not without provocation. The
poet had more than once made dis
paraging remarks about Boston lie
had even gone 80 far as to say that
he was heartily ashamed OF having
been horn there. That was hack In
1914. And now, no. with the head
long impetuosity OF sudden, flaming
anger but after three-quarters OF a
century OF mature pondering, the
Huh lands the retaliatory blow OF
erasing his name from three lamp
post signs.
Doubtless II was not without pain
to her own feelings that she inflicted
the punishment Boston would not
be accused OF exaggerating IL she
said that IL hurt her more than It
did the poet That as recently as
1919 she had forgiven him is evil

At the first glance one might bc
tempted to remark that the science mas
ter has no concern with the teaching Of
English, but 1t is evident from the
papers on the subject by Mr.. Egger and
by Mr.. Breames which have appeared
In the School Science Rcpicp for June.
1890 and 1922 respectively, that many
science masters have to begin by teach
Ing the boys who come to them to write
English.
We are told that boys OF fourteen
who have spent several years on the
classical side Of q public school are
turned over to the science side unable
to read English intelligibly- or to write
II in such q way that their meaning is
clear. In such circumstances the sci-
ence masters task is doubled. He must
teach his boys the scientific and techni-
cal terms of his subject and also how
to express themselves correctly.
Mr.. Breames divides the latter process
into two stages. In describing an OBJ
jcct or>an experiment he trains his boys
to devote one sentence to each feature
or to each change. Afterward he
teaches them to combine into one longer
statement the sentences dealing with the
features or changes which arc closely
related. He finds that this procedure
produces a respectable style" OF writ

Professor Bells Death Recalls 4
Prophecy by Wendell Phillips.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: on the
3sth of July, 1885. Wendell Phillips
made an address to the Boston school
children at the Music Hail. In the
course OF his remarks he said
I'VE have invented telegraph; but
what OF that? expect. IL live forty
years. to see a telegraph that will send
messages without wires. both ways at
the same time"
This remark seems to have anticipated
inventions by Bell. Drawbaugh. Gray.

volume OF Phillipss speeches and lee
lures published by Lee Shepard.

stern New England conscience has
reasserted itself.
As matter of fact, the number
of Bostonians who knew there was
an Edgar A. Poe Square in the city
was probably very small. Equally
small in all probability was the num-
ber of those who knew that the name
of the square had been changed until
there was casual mention of the fact
in a newspaper. 1t is not much Of
square at best, and had IL not been
for its proximity to the supposed
birthplace OF PoE to have PANIED 1t
for the poet would have been rather
derisory than otherwise.
II Boston wishes to honor her err
ratio but gifted son a memorial Of a
different sort in more conspicuous
place would have been appropriate.
That may yet come. The fame OF
the poet is rather growing than di-
minishing. The place of his birth
has historic interest. To suppose
that his slur on Boston in his Broad.
1cay Journal seventy-eight years ago
still rankles in the Hub heart would
of course be absurd-as absurd as to
take seriously PoE's remark about
being ashamed of the city of his
birth, always provided that the re-
mark was not made in the same
jocular spirit as the quip which de-
scribes Boston as being not locality
but state Of mind.
Boston may well be proud of being
the birthplace of an American poet
whose fame is world wide, and IL
the little square she named, not so
much in his honor as to mark the
locality of the house in which he first
saw the light, has now been other
wise designated, all the more reason
for a tablet in that neighborhood as
well as for a worthier memorial in
some one of Boston's many beautiful
places of public resort.

Learning by Mail.

IL was the 1aSnl0n rev years
ago to hold correspondence schools
lightly. Because the excellent idea
upon which they were based was and
is now sometimes turned to purposes
which are little better than fraudu
lent they came to be thought of small
value in the distribution Of knowl-
edge. But the correspondence school
idea was sound idea. 1t contrib
uted something to the machinery
Of education, and it functions now
as an integral part in the country's
largest institution of learning, Co.
lumbia University.
1t was sound idea because insti-
tutions of learning through class
room instruction alone cannot pos
sibly meet the demand for educa-
tional improvement, which rises
higher every year in the United
States. They cannot do it even
through the medium of extension
classes. Classroom instruction,
whether Of resident or extension
type, can be of no benefit to persons
who live too far from university
to attend 1t.
Just as extension courses carried
the function of the university beyond
the resident body of students work.
| ing for degrees, so do the home study
| courses at Columbia carry the uni
versity's function beyond the radius
reached by the extension courses.
No longer has any man or woman
who can pay the fees for instruction
an excuse for not eliminating the
gaps in his or her education.
4sw There are those of course, who
have successfully bridged such gaps
through their own determined initi-
ative, but they are not average men
and women. 1t takes a deal of sus-
tanned application and driving force
to supply your own power in the
matter of acquiring or rounding out
an education. Most men need to be
pushed. The home study courses
supply something of that added i'm
petus. The lessons serve as guides
through an orderly development OF
the subject; mistakes are corrected
and constructive criticism of the
work done is offered; and not the
least of the aids to perseverance is
the fact that money has been paid
for the enrolment.
The courses offered in the Colum-
bia home study department embrace
many subjects. They include in
struction in agriculture. business. the
ancient and modern languages and
literatures. economics, law for the
layman, history, mathematics, phi
losophy and other subjects. There
are no courses in the sciences be-
cause adequate instruction cannot be
given without laboratory work.

The Flood Of Communication.

That Americans are commun1-
cative people has been generally sus-
pected. The Post ONCE Department
adds evidence to the suspicion by
announcing that more than eleven
billion letters go through the United
States mails every year. The aver
age for each inhabitant is 112 let
tiers annually, This means that the
average family receives about forty
letters a month.
The natives of Great Britain
where letter writing is both an art
and passion, cannot come up to us
in the number of their missives, al
though they probably rank higher
in the length of their letters. The
annual per capita average in Great
Britain is 81; in Germany rs.
Let nobody think, however, that
the post ONCE figures measure com
pletely the American desire to tell
somebody else something. The num-
ber of telephone messages in the
United States is about fifteen billions
year-more than a thousand for
every instrument.
If the Post Office Department could
discover what proportion Of the let
ters consisted of Christmas cards, oil
stock circulars, summer resort post
cards and please remit" requests II
would come nearer to showing how
much of the big mail is worth while.
