Success hu Retailing An essential factor ini achievig success ,in a retail business is ADVERTISING- telling the buyers of your community what you have for them. One dosen't need to be exceptionally clever or a genius to be a success, but one must have an aini, and pursue it resolutely and intelligently. The businesses that are prospering and ex- panding are those that purposefully seek out new customers and place before both old and new customers the news of their service, in the f orm of newspaper adver- tising.

THE EDITOR TALKS The year la pamang rapidly; suni- mer holldays will soon be here; sud public achool teachers and trustéee boards wlll be negotiating for neit achool year: Teachers' engagements begin at midaumnier time in moat cases, and it la not too soon to be thinking on the aubj oct. We belong to the class who place the intereats of the children firat always., A teacher who is not constantly studying to do, more eff ective teaching as the years go by la not likely to be a profitable tencher lu the section., It would be of great intereat to know how many teachera lu Durham couuty subacribe for and read regularly one or more leading teachers' journals aud how mnany books on their profession they have read withln a year. Merchants of the botter class read their trade journala faithfully and the toucher worthy of the reaponsible position, ahould keep bright and well iuformed' on lateat methoda of instruction and fully posted on topics of the timeaso as to be always explaining to the scholars 1001 things happening iu the wonld that they 9hould know. Few persona have a correct con- ception of the work of every well conducted achool, The book learu- iug la ouly a amall part of what every achool doos f or the boys and girls who are being educated there and the toacher makes àchool good, bad or indiffereut. An educational writer well aays: Most boys think that the reason they are sont to achool is to got an education, and that if they learu their baesons sufficîently well to pass the examinations sud to finish the prescribed course of study and be gracluated, they wll have that odu- cation and be ready for the business of h lf e. But the object of the beat schools is not simply the book learu- ing to be gained, but to give to a boy'a spirit, mind and body the moral, mental sund physical training which bc is capable of receiving, so that' when school days are ended a boy~ shah be equîpped with a healthy sud active body, a niind with alent per- ceptions and well trained reasoniug will la strong enough to goveru both mmnd sd body perfectly. There is ae"Leadamrlntr hs great deal the boy can do to help his achool to do it; and the way he can help is by bis conduct. When a boy bohaves well, hoe always pîsys the faireat, aud studies bis best, so that hia mmnd, body aud spirit are ahl being trained together. Go into any assembly of mou in city, town or country where discus- asionisheld ou sny public question aud observe how very f ew mon can make a passably good speech.

Iu this respect, the greateat of commeudation la to be given to'the U. F. 0. movement. Lu the cities there is a laggard interest lu the development of public speak- ing, sud it is most regrettable. Most mou have the power of expressing theiselves, but there are mauy act- ually called to some publicoffice be- fore they over become able to til on their foot. Only a alsl percent- ageo0f uuivorsity mou devolop into good speakers.

HOW TO BUILD UP THE HOME TOWN The place where mont people con- 3gregate in a village in the country bstore. Lt la usually a postoffice, the place where the farmers exchange their eggs and butter, the committee room for the politician, the head- quarters for countryside gossip; al meeting place for friends, and thel place where the merchant is sup-posed to keep everything from a needie to an anchor. It is from these centres that the villages develop into towns, and the towns into cities. The more the merchant prospers, the better the village prospers, and so it in with towna and cities, ï,Goods in the retail stores of New York are of littie value to the people 1of Canada. They want to be able to go into the shops in the place in which they live and exaWine the goods, price them, order them, and either take them home or have them delivered. They want to know also that the goods they select personally are the goods they get, and this is where the local merchant wlll alwalys have the advantage over the mail order house system, which means that when you, buy goods, you must rely almost entirely upon the selec- tion by other people, and not upon your own judgment. ,Perhaps the best illustration that can be gîven of the advantages of buying in the home town wîll be understood by those who are familiar with the question of selling boots and shoes at retail, and the correct fltting of the sane. Not long ago, the writer's attention was called to a rather singular cir- cumastance. Visiting in a smal town lu the cool of the evening, wheu the ladies of the towu were visiting the post office for the eveniug mail a mercliant, weIl posted in the boot aud shoe business, called attention to the fact that ton ladies out of twelve who passed were wearing mail ordor shoes. H1e discerued them by the way in which thoy fittod the foot. Some wero too high in the heel, others too low, some too broad and others too narrow. They were not only uucomfortable but they intorfor- eci with the poise and carrnage of the wearer. Had these shoes been pur- chased in the home towu those faults could have been avoidod, much to the comfort and well-,being of the wearer, andý at perhaps less cost in the end. This illustration might also apply to a large -number of other articles, The citizens of every ci'ty, town or village should take a pride in their .retail stores in their commuuty. The better the stocks the nierchants carry, the better the selection the citizeus have, 'aud he greater 'the numbor of people who purchase in the home town the botter the opportunity the merchants have for, increasîng their stocks 'aud carryiug the latest styles. Ahl citizens who send tlÏeir money out of town are iujuring the business of the town to that extont, and they are doiug an injury to those citizens who patroni'ze the local retail mer- chants. Retail merchants select goods for the couvenienco of their customers. Thi-ey atudy their requirements; they uuderstand the extent of their purso, and the goods are always on hand, ready to be deliverod at a moment's notice. Merchandiso lu Europe is of very little use to the citizens of any city, town, or villagé, in Canada. The goods miust behero, roady and wait- ing, and our sy9tema of distribution la so arraniged that if trade is developed along ntural lines,, and those who receive their money from the town, patronize the town, they are not only mnaking it cohvenient for themselve s but also every other resident in that tOwn. If the retail stores were taken out of the cities, towns and villages of Canada, it would be equivalent to destroying the commercial life. of Canada. Although niot general ly mentioned, when the developmeut of a city is questioned, the first tbing that strikes a strangor wheu hoe entera a city or town la the character of the ahora in that city or town. If they are poorly kept and poorly stocked with unpainted fronts, the town can be considered to be on the decline. if the store fronts are well painted, and the stocks well kept, and the retail merchants alert to their business, the town la alwaya proqsp.rnisq ad itiib- botter cuce n pÜbli iUtitu- tiona, and fiually esttbîshe,, better residental districts, and ln this way proseros ctie and towus are bulit uPr Teobj"et, thf, of all loy- al citizeu's should ha ,tol buy the things they require itluie Place lu which they hive.
