Effective Advertising for Con.

Publicity Manager.

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind, Dec. Is.
First sot ali churches must be
Jared from their state Of self
complacency and assume larger
responsibilities for Christian edu-
cation in the schools. declared Dr..
Robert L. Kelly, president Of
Earlham College, in speaking at
the annual meeting OF the exc
cutiye committee Of the Federal
Council OF Churches Of Christ in
America here today. He said BY
schools he meant not only Sun
day schools, but the week day
schools, the private schools and
the public schools. ''Responsi-
billy for adequate Bible study In
American education rests upon
the schools; declared the college
president. -i,5i1i M
Churches are wasting lot OF
money on advertising, declared,
3. Hungerford of Baltimore, who
Is in charge of the publicity work
for the Federal Council Of
Churches, not because the adver-
Using does not pay, but because
IL is impossible for the average
congregation to have effective ad-
vertising and the cost is too great
for the average church to buy
trained advertising advice" Mr..
tHungertord continued,
Mr.. Hungerford praised the
Associated Press and other news
agencies3fo the manner IN which
Ia recent story on church statis-
tics had been handled from Wash
.ington and said It had been car
ried to the farthest corners OF the
earth. ~
One Of the interesting features
OF the session today was the read
ing otgreetings from the churches
in other lands. IT,

DECLARES AMERICA
TOO MATERIALISTIC

In answer to The West Virgin
ian's inquiry What Is Wrong with
America" Edmund Vance Cooke,
poet author and humorist, who
addressed the Woman's Club OF the
city this afternoon replied that
too much stress and over emLhasis
is placed on parasitism instead Of
upon production. To bear out his
statement Mr.. Cooke mentioned
the Ship Subsidy Bill now in Con.
gress and said that he is in favor
Of a mrchant marine, II America
can support It, but not unless it
can.
Mr.. Cooke spoke OF this as a
materialistic age. When asked X
the age is producing anything worth
while he compared production to
a work OF architecture, or a good
painting, and said that one cannot
judge, unless he is able to put him
self into the future some years AMI
than looked back upon 1t. "Amer.
lea is not thinking enough to pro.
duce any but materialtstic things"
he declared, "and It is evidence that
America is not thinking enough"
However, he asserted that he sup.
posed people are thinking as much
now as they did fifty years ago.
When questioned about the think
ing done by the young people Of
the country he seemed rather du.
bious, and replied that the World
War had not made them think as
much as he had thought It would.
Mr.. Cooke is a slender man Of
medium heighth, with hair turn
ing gray. His eyes are gray and
keenly alert. He talks slowly
and deliberately, evidently mediat-
Ing before each phrase, uncon-
sciously toying. with a piece OF
paper or anything within his
reach.
