BABsoN ON ADVERTISING

Roger Babson as we'll If not better
posted than any man in the country
on economic conditions. links money
rates, transportation and advertising
together as the three greatest factors
4 affecting business All business men
! realize the importance of money rates
in their affairs; all business men
realize how transportation affects
them most practically, but there are
some who do not realize the truth Of
Mr.. Babson's statement that violent
fluctuations in advertising are not
merely the result Of fluctuations in
business, but are largely the cause"
He looks for a steady increase in ad-
vertistng as the indication of steadi-
ly increasing prosperity.
And as though to commend his
words, but coming without knowledge
of his latest statement, there Is news
from another source, of the urging of
Nj ore CONTINUOUS anu os''Nii'"eiS 49,
Of newspaper advertising space by
electric light and power companies of
the country"
Again Mr.. Babson says Business
conditions will become steady and
gradually increase only when the
amount of advertising becomes steady
and gradually increases statis-
tics show clearly that most goods can
he sold more cheaply and effectively
through advertising than in any other
form"
A newspaper possessing any desire
TO aid in the growing prosperity would
he unfatthful to its duty were 1t TO re-
frain from emphasizing this increas-
ing appreciation of the great influence
Of advertising on such prosperity,
merely because such newspaper would
seem to be urging a greater use OF It's
advertising space 10 Its own adVan-
taEe. MIR. Bahson and other economic
experts agree on the facts. Those
facts should be given emphasis for the +
helm they bring to those who are at

MANY NORMAL GRADUATES

The State Normal school In this city
will graduate the largest class in IL
history this year. when one hundred
and thirty will be given diplomas The
only comment that may he made on
this situation Is that II is good and
shows again concusively the advan-
tage that is being taken OF the APP
portunities offered TO gain an cduca-
ton. This fact. however. is significant
in that few thinking people would
seek TO enter a profession which was
considered OF less importance than
formerly. Many are learning TO teach,
because 1t is believed that more
teachers will be needed to meet the
growing demand. As the value of ed
ucation is appreciated, there will be
more who will seek to secure the
knowledge necessary for imparting
knowledge to others. There is bright
future for any nation the people of
which seek more knowledge, even
though it would seem that the value
of education were fully appreciated
now.
There is another. local. phase to the
matter. This year the Normal school
is about to graduate its largest class
Next year, with the new building be-
ing used, possibly, the attraction will
draw even more young women who
will eventually be graduated. The
s.
needs of that new Normal school will
steadily increase. 1t will need that
new dormitory long before action may
be taken by the next legislature to
furnish money for it. This fact will
be remembered when the legislature
Of this year is mentioned.

CHURCH AND SCIENCE

Certainly good has come out of the
general discussion of questions that
have arisen within the various church
denominations. That good has beer
an awakening of public interest in
church mattersy it is a good that
comes always from criticism upon
which the world has thrived. The
curbing, or silencing of a minority
leads in the direction of complaisancy
With no outspoken minority, protest
ing against matters as they are, there
would be no Improvement. Whether
the minority is right or wrong, the
discussion that follows suggests posi-
BILE improvements, proves the proprie-
ty of the old things or brings about
gradual change.
Never has the country been so in
terested in church affairs, beliefs, as
today. This, as opposed to the old
situation which made it a dreadful
tilll5 w ouS6CSt that liitoloS IAN
might possibly be wrong.
An example of this condition of i'm
provement may be seen in the deter
mination of certain church to con-
duct clinics in which the discoveries
of modern medical and psychological
science will be invoked to effect
cures. Faith has It's part In curing,
we know that" says the pastor of
this church. but faith is not credul-
ity or superstition. Faith must be
based upon reasonable and working
knowledge"
1t is not to predict success for this
plan OF this church that the expert
ment is here cited. nor is 1t criticism
of it, The idea is mentioned merely
as showing a broader tendency on
the part of one church to seek to find
out new truths. The more reverent
discussion of these matters there is,
the nearer will be the approach 10
truth--man's aim. Open discussion
is far better than an apathy which is /
content to say, IT'S always been con-
sidered thus and so; It must he thus

pn0rtssIoNAL sALAnIEs

Al the time the plan was adopted

those In authority time 10 have form
cd decided opinion as 10 the practi-
cahility Of the plan, Tho favorable an.
swer seems 10 have come IN the talk
OF advising an increase in the salary
OF the present school physician.
II II has been found that the full
time physician plan has been more Of
feetlve than the former arrangement
the next question that arises il the
amount OF pay he should receive.
This city has had q recent expert
ence along these lines. II had a health
superintendent who was doing good
work. He received an offer from an
other city far in excess of the salary
he was receiving here. He accepted II
although. realizing perhaps that it
would be difficult to fill his place.
those most interested fastened TO ar
range matters so that II would be pos
sible for him to receive the same
salary here that he was to get, as "a
starter" in that other city. The
change of heart came too late. and
New Britain will be without health
superintendent probably for some
time. This is bad situation.
Professional men are not members
of unions; they have no walking dele
gates to fight for larger salaries for
them. They are not in the habit of
making frequent demands for salary
increases. New Britain should profit
by its recent experience and pay its
professional employees the salaries
other cities of its size are paying. If
those employees do not fll their posi- |
tons acceptably they should not be
retained. If they do their value should |
be recognized.
