! portunity to learn of the experience
of others in the carrying out of some
! one of the various projects which
| came up for discussion. These
round tables proved TO be very bene-
| fetal to all and the one hour allotted
| to them was much to short
The School published a daily paper
| called The Secretary" and these
were distributed at the noon luncheon
held each day at the North Shore Ho-
! tel. space was reserved on the
! back of each issue for an advertise
ment of some one town and these
| ads. were all of a somewhat humor-
our nature, but although somewhat
! humorous in makeup it did bring the
! city or town before the gathering and
let them know that there was such
place in the world. Secretary Fol-
som was successful IN having his
copy accepted and although the ad.
was not printed in full, enough was
printed to have the right publicity
affect. The ad. follows: Trade in
Augusta, Maine. Pumpkins Squash
Potatoes, shipped by Parcel Post Sim

ton in Augusta-On direct route to
Three Mile Limit via Kennebec River.

To each ad. the Editor of the Paper
made some comment. To the above
he said; Being rather fond of en-
suite potatoes we have been bribed to
print today's advertisement in return
for barrels of said potatoes, parcel
post prepaid
Also in the paper was a column
called "Shots in the Dark" and Secre,
