IDEAL ADVERTISING

Advertising has great public
mission to perform, declared Frank
Braucher, advertising director of the
Crowell Publishing Company, in a
recent address at Harvard Univer-
sity. The more it fulfills this task,
he added, the more serviceable it is
to the advertiser and the more near
ly ideal it is from the standpoint of
the publisher.
The possibilities of advertising, to
quote Mr.. Braucher's own words,
are so great that with its steady de-
velopment it takes on constantly
new significances. Within the men,
ory of many newspaper readers, the
viewpoint of the advertiser toward
his advertising has progressed from
the mere announcement stage to the
highly developed appeals of today.
The advertiser, knowing the sta
bility which good advertising has
given to his business, is not surpris-
ed to see a reflection of this stabil-
ity in his credit relations. Indeed,
the study which bankers are giving
to advertising furnishes the adver-
tiser this new point Of view toward
his advertising space.
Now advertising to the advertiser
is usually a purely commercial pro-
position, the success or failure of
which is reckoned in terms of dol
lars and cents. The final test is the
question did it pay?" But strange
ly enough, the answer cannot always
be found in the auditors books. For
is not a force by itself.
1t is and must be, as Mr.. Braucher
so wisely points out, part of some
thing else. It is tied up with a hun
bred distribution, trade con-
ditions trade practice, competition,
sales management, price, dealer and
distributor relations, production,
raw materials, and so on.
The point is, that the manifold
Uses and profits of good advertising
are only just beginning to be appre-
GATED. It has become a part Of ev-
cry business, as essential as sales
men or factories.

RETIREMENT OF JOHN BASSETT
MOORE
(Every Evening Editorial

The proposed retirement of John
Bassett Moore, judge of the Perma-
nent Court of International Justice
at The Hague, as announced in a
cablegram from London, will cause
a general wave of regret the world
over. Judge Moore, who is a dis
tinguished son of Delaware, has I'M
doubtedly earned a vacation, for he
has long been in the service of the
nation, although he is still two years
within the three score and ten
mark. He has perhaps been one OF
the busiest and most useful of Am
orleans of his day. He seems to have
always been engaged in some work
for the betterment of world condi-
lions for peace and the fellowship of
all mankind. His career marked him
as a man of conspicuous ability in
every line which attracted his inter-
est and from his first introduction
into public life, as law clerk in the
offices of the Department of State.
to the present moment, he has ad-
vanced steadily until he has reached
probably the highest goal open to
the lawyer and scholar.
Mr.. Moore early became the rec
ognized American authority on in
ternational law and his opinions
were accepted unchallenged. During
the recent World War, when so
many questions were presented to
our government, he was recalled to
the State Department to guide us
safely against international compli-
cations that might have seriously
involved this country.
Perhaps as judge of the Perma-
nent Court at The Hague he garner
ed his most coveted laurels, but Mr..
Moore's achievements in law and as
an author could scarcely be crowd
ed into newspaper column, for as
q writer he has been as diligent a
worker as he has been on the bench.
Delaware naturally is proud of
ler distinguished son, and it would
be a fitting recognition of his SER
vices to mankind were our citizens
o mark his retirement to private
life with such demonstration as he
'ichly deserves. He has assembled
o the very top of his profession, has
.chieved distinction in his every
and is ending career
f more than four decades without
aving challenged the slightest hint
f criticism. y.

But you've all mad the honor
OF filling the Noble Grand's chair.
The hardships you've encountered
And the battles you've won,N,t e..
May not make as much history
AS did our brave Washington.
But is certainly took wisdom,
Courage, patience and wit
To keep your lodge member
Each doing their bit.
To the knowledge you've gained
In this very dear school,
Your lodge add this treasure
A Past Noble Grand's jewel.
May the heart that beats under
This bright bit Of gold
Keep loyal and keep striving,
more to our fold.
Wear this proudly--you've' earned
it;
And long may it last:
Let it lovingly remind you
To keep working, Dear Pasts.

THE TEACHING OPPORTUNITY

Teaching has always been great
opportunity for young women, and
in former years a great many men
were attracted into it. There are
more than $4,000 teachers in the
public schools, and many women GO
into it for few years and then get
married, so there are plenty of va
cancies which beginners can ex-
pect to obtain. 1t is then a field
in which any girl who has a gift
for that line, can expect to find
work soon after graduation, and in
which she should be able to find a
life work if she desires.
Considering the desire for more
men teachers, any qualified young
men will find plenty of opportunity.
The increased number of school
pupils makes a great many new
teaching jobs. Pupils stay in
school longer than formerly. Many
whose parents quit when they fin
ished grammar schools, are going
to high schools or colleges. More
teachers have to be employed to in
struct them all. Also there is
growing feeling that teachers should
not be asked to handle so many
pupils. Where teacher does we'll
with 80 pupils, the job of directing
and instructing 40 or so may be too
much for her. So the opportunity
in this profession is a wide open
one.
Yet the requirements are more
than formerly. The school that
formerly was satisfied with a girl
of high school education, now may
demand that she have a college or
normal school diploma.
Yet learning is not the first es-
sential for good teacher. The |
gifts of imparting enthusiasm, of
pupils want to learn, the
knowledge of correct methods of
instruction, the ability to induce
pupils to put their minds on their /,
work, are more valuable than a
vast quantity of general information
gained from books. Teaching is a
wonderful profession, and young
men and women make no mistake
here in Milford when they decide to
enter it.
Se@
IT ISN'T generosity that makes a
rec spender that way; he spends
most of it on himself.
