First Schools Developed
For Use of Privileged

It would probably surprise most
children, and for that matter, many
grownups, to hear that the word
School is derived from the Greek
word meaning leisure. School was
once a privilege which only those
who possessed spare time to spend
could use. Even the rich were often
too busy for school. Fighting was
mans work; sewing, weaving, spin
ming, cooking, bearing and rearing
children was woman's.
AS life became more settled, cities
sprang up, and men fought in
armies instead Of as individuals,
some men began to have leisure to
turn their minds toward other things
than keeping alive. They began to
inquire first about the world they
lived in, then about themselves, and
to spend their leisure hours in
groups, at what might seem a game
Of 20 questions.
The women were not included in
these groups, for their work in the
home continued. In time, however,
slaves began to take over some of
the domestic duties and the women,
too, had leisure to put into learning
If they chose.
Today the idea Of school as leisure
has receded into the shadowy past.
The privilege Of learning has been
forgotten. 1t has become such an
accepted thing, that, like most COM
monplaces it has grown tedious.
Yet the child, when he first asks
questions, first begins to examine
the world he lives in, and then his
own inner life, still has the attitude
of our remote ancestors. He is still
eager and animated, and finds
his work play. a.,
If adults would remember this
and keep him in the same state of
interested receptivity, encouraging
his inquiry, leading him on and on
in the paths of knowledge, joining
with him in the search for truth,
instead Of talking down to him and
dulling his curiosity, school might
once more connote pleasure rather
than pain.

truth about ADVERTISING
By CHARLES B. ROTH
BUT IT'S JUST AS GOOD

good-they are inferior and the mer-
chant sells them because they carry
more profit for him. He does his
level best to get rid Of them, be-
cause It Is more to his advantage
to do SO than It Is to yours.
Many stores pay their salesman
a commission for selling unknown
and unadvertised goods, because the
salesman would not sell them with
out some special inducement.
1t is much better for you as
consumer to put your reliance alb
solutely in advertised goods and in
stores which advertise, and to pa
tronize both exclusively.
When a man advertises his goods
and tells frankly and publicly what
they will do for you, he seeks your
patronage on the basis of actual
value.
1t may be that some manufac-
turers or merchants can offer just
as good value in unknown or I'M
advertised goods. But the chances
are ten to one that they can't-be-
cause advertising not only increases
the distribution of goods, but at the
same time increases the production,
so that advertised goods cost less
to make; hence, gives more to the
buyer.
In the long run you get more for
your money when you buy adver-
tised goods. You get more In ac-
tual value. And also get more In
that intangible value, known as con-
fidence.
And confidence is one Of the chief
satisfactions Of life.
