HIGH SCHOOLS ATTACKED.
John B. Opeycke, .chairman of the Eng
lish department of the Julia Rlchman High
School, New York city, at the afternoon
session df the Advertising Teachers, held In
Logan Hall, assailed the high schools.
'Mr. Opeycke urged a radical readjust
ment of the curriculum of the American
high school to make a place for advertis
ing and Instruction In modern business
methods Instead of long courses on the
classics and Impractical work.
The reason for the Introduction of ad
vertising and selling courses In high schools
Mr. Opeycka based upon the fact that "60
per cent, of high school graduates go
straight Into the advertising and selling
world." The failure of tha school authorities
to take cognizance, of the growing and
ripened demand for business Instruction he
characterized as "lamentable and disgraceful."
"TEACHERS CULPABLE."
"Business men the country over," he de
clared, "complain of the high school grad
uate. He Is an Inferior product, they say,
In view of thermoney the State spends upon
him. Thus high school teachers are failures
whether they like to hear It or not. And
one of the reasons for this Is that so much
of the work they Insist upon doing is totally
useless and Impractical. Teachers are par
ticularly culpable,"
Mr, Opeycke made no attack upon in
struction In literature, but rather upon that
form of literature which treats of dead
subjects. Urging that the life of liter-'
ature be extracted for the courses In Eng
lish he declared that "Imbedded In all Uer'
ature He rich mines of advertising and sales
expression awaiting discovery."
Summarizing a tentative course for the
high school student which will better fit
him for mdoern .business, Mr. 'Qpecycke o(
fered the following:
"The first year's work In commercial
English consists of simple business letters,
slmpla classified advertisements and com
mercially assorted spelling lists.
"In the second year the newspaper and
the magazine are studied, with soma stress
upon the advertising and sales content.
Pupils are Tequlred tq write newspaper
English by way o letters to editors, re-,
porta on current topics, news Items, new
records, etc In the third and fourth yeara
advertising and selling, together with ad
vanced letter-writing, are given, Sales
manship Is taught, of course, with adver
tising, DEFECTIVE METHODS.
Emphasizing tha defects of the present
method of English Instruction, Mr. Opeycke
continued :
"If yoj want to see how wrong, liow
absurd it Is, Just attend the average high
school commencement and hear the
pedantic, mollycoddles, effemtnlsed out
pourings In oratory. The great
eat offenders of the principle of economy
are our high-flown high school pupils of
the third .and fourth years. Their, tendency
to verbal apUHficaUon has made them noto
rious. The average employer thinks the
average hlsh. school graduate vastly more
voluble than valuable aa a business asset.

W. Hess, of the Wharton School, University

"It Is 'true that we ore more successful
as Individuals than as an Institution.
"New schools, with courses In marketing,
aro springing, up over the country. In

courses, but where has the word gone forth
so as to Instil tho kind of concept which
gives the largest significance to tho im

notion that courses in commerce are needed.
High schools are getting the notion. Who
gets, the notion? Some one. Who Is en

some one else recommends. In that he

'it over,' as the vernacular puts It,

find themselves in a whirr as to what ought
to be done with the miniature cyclone which
has arisen In their midst Adjustment is
the cry of the' hour.
"Let us .recognize what a postgraduate
and an- undergraduate course mean. Let
us have a standard as well as a school In
the development of instructors. Let us
recognize the specialized talent and ability
of many here who are constantly furnish
ing valuable data assisting In the standard
ization of courses. But, withal, let us estab
lish a system, part related to part, the
Ideal of which Is our common struggle and
tha truth of which Is so well advertised
that University realm and the business
world recognize the standardized efforts as
worthy of financial and honorable recogni
tion. Let us fight for an Ideal."

CLERGYMEN URGE
RELIGIOUS ADS TO
a
Pastor-Editor Favors Fill
ing "Every Inch of Local
Papers"
A BUSINESS INVESTMENT
Church advertising was discussed this
morning at tho Church Advertising Section
of the 12th nnnunl convention of the Asso
ciated Advertising Clubs of the World,
William It Hotchkln asserted that .there
the advertiser lias nn amazing field,, for
there arc 50.000,000 people In the United
States without church affiliation; nnd tho
Rev. William M Barton, editor' of Tho Ad
vance, a religious publication nnd pastor of
tho First Congregational Church of Oak
Park, III., declared that there Is nothing
else so well worth tho advertising "as tho
Gospel of Jesus Christ."
"The first rule which I have learned to
follow?' said Tho Advance editor, "with
regnrd to advertising outside of the church
Is to mako tho largest possible uso of the
local press, I will fill Just ns many Inches
a week as the local papers will glvo me In
announcing tho services of my own church
and In reporting events of Interest that
have occurred there, and I will try to do It
so well nnd hnvo my copy In so early ns to
Insure a good position nnd a favorable
reading."
Advertising, however, without having "the
goods" cannot In Itself fill curches. Doctor
Barton said, adding:
"Tho first nnd best advertisement ,for any
church Is tho widespread assurance that It
uniformly has a service worth attending.
No Investment In printer's Ink can over be
a substitute for this. Equally with every
other advertiser, tho church must stand
ready to deliver the goods and give to tho
person who enters Its doors something
worth coming for.
"ADVERTISE CHURCH SERVICES."
"I believe In advertising church services,
nnd nm glnd to say something nbout Its
methods, but I wish It understood In ad
vance that I believe first of all In having
something tOL advertise, nnd that tho thing
advertised should not bo meretricious, or
cheap, or theatrical, but fundamentally and
Invariably the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
"But there Is no reason why tho Gospel
should bo either preached or advertised In a
dull or uninteresting fashion. Jestis waB
nn Interesting preacher. He knew how to
get tho attention of tho crowd and how to
keep It after ho got It. Ho did not nlwnys
preach alike; Ho changed His stylo of
preaching at least four times and always
for a reason. He did not depend upon His
miracles to bring-In the crowds; Indeed, He
deprccatecT tho gathering of multitudes nfter
that fashion. But Ho got tho people and
they heard Him gladly.
"I am prepared to bo told that ministers
ought not to seek nowspaper notoriety, and
I ngrco heartily with that statement; but
ministers ought to seek to let their lights
shine beforo men that they may see their
good works and glorify their Father who Is
In heaven. So tho first rule which I have
learned to follow with regard to advertising
outside tho church Itself is to make the
largest possible uso of the local press."
A similar thought was conveyed by Mr.
Hotchkln, who said:
CHURCH MUST SELL ITS GOODS.
"First of all tho church must sell Its
proposition to Its .own members. This Is
vital work. Tho first work of the commer
cial advertiser Is to keep his own customers
sold. This Is tho foundation of any suc
cessful business. Tho good will of regular
customers Is not only n concern's greatest
asset, but It 1b tho greatest existing power
In securing the Interest and confidence of
new customers:
"So I would say that tho most vital ele
ment In advertising a church to outsiders
Is tho living picture of the Joy, .satisfaction,
comfort and peace expressed by the people
who are members of the church.
"All successful advertising must creato
desire for either the goods advertised, or
the benefits that will come to the purchaser
through the possession or use of the goods
bought.
"It pays to advertise. Advertising will
definitely cause church growth If the
church deserves to grow."
"If the church grows, the collections will
be larger; tho members will be willing to
contribute moro, and there will be more of
them to contribute.
"As a straight business Investment for
the church, advertising should pay its own
way, as it does in any other good business.
"If thero Is not enough money In the
treasury to pay for the advertising, I would
make an estimate of the annual cost and
ask for definite advertising contributions
to support this work and do It consistently,
regularly year ln nnd year out, as other
business concerns do it."
URGES CITIES TO ADVERTISE
Bad News Spread But Good News
Must Bo Spread
A nation-wide campaign of advertising
for municipalities was advocated by Edwin
L. Quarles. of Indianapolis, today. He said:
"Thero Is one unfortunate but Inevitable
reason why our communities should take
seriously the matter of projecting their ad.
vantage Into the national mind, and that
Is tho fact that unfavorable community, ad
vertising Is automatic.
"It does not require method or money to
spread the stories of strikes, epidemics,
crimes, disasters or even business failures.
It Is only .with care that the loyal citizen
can keep the reputation of the community
up to par. Well laid plans, money, a daily
consideration of these matters and good
stout will are necessary to hold It above
the mark."

Cyrus H. K. Curtis told tha advertising
men today that ho planned ,to erect one of
the finest newspaper buildings In the
country on tho site at 6th and Chestnut
streets, now used by the Evf.nino Lgdoer
nnd Public Ledger. His announcement was
made In room 214. Engineering Building,
University of Pennsylvania, where he had
been Invited to address the section made up
of advertising ngents.
Mr. Curtis sald that a conversation yes
terday with Mnypr Smith, In which the
Mayor had told how, the city's convention
hall was going to bo larger and more ex
pensive than .originally Intended, led him
to tell of his personal plans. . For, as he
said, Mr. Curtis is going to build a conven
tion hall, too. It will be In connection with
his proposed newspaper plant and will be
open to such gatherings as tho advertising
men.
WILL SERVE GREAT PURPOSE.
Mr. Curtis said:
"I had luncheon with the Mayor yester
day, and he told me of the plans of the
city to erect an Immense convention hall
which will cost moro than had been
originally Intended, but which will serve a
great purpose.
"Philadelphia Is going hard nfter con
ventions, nnd I might take the ljberty to
announce at this time that I hope when
this convention comes here .again theV
shall meet at 6th and Chestnut streets. '
"I have.'acqulrcd the block bounded by 6th,
Chestnut. 7th nnd Sansom streets. At the
corner of 6th and Chestnut streets now Is
the first great newspaper building- In Ameri
ca. When It was erected Jn 1868, papers
of the entire country from the At'antlo to
tho Pacific consts made prominent mention
of it. A banquet was held In connection
with Its completion', and the accomplish
ment was made tho subject of general cele
bration. "I Intend to erect on the site of this build
ing, and I nm even considering mbre space
than the Public Ledger building now occu
pies, one of. tho finest newspaper buildings
In the country. It will be a real newspaper
building.
"I hopo to greet you there in the future.
It will contain an auditorium which will
accommodate such gatherings as this, and
at utn and Chestnut streets, too, we shall,
have a convention hall,"
Mr. Curtis closed his address with some
opinions on the use of premiums In getting
magazine subscriptions. Ha was warmly
applauded. Other speakers at the session
were William H. Johns and Collin Arm
strong, of New York, nnd W. C. D'ATcy,
of St. Louts.
ADVERTISING PEDAGOGY
DISCUSSED BY TEACHER
University of Texas Man Urges
Standardization of Courses in
Schools and Colleges
i
The standardization of Instruction In ad
vertising was urged by John E. Trevelen,
of the University of Texas, at the opening
session on 'Teachers In Advertising," held
this morning In Logan Hall,
Speaking on the subject of "A Plan for a
College Course for the Training of the Ad
vertising Man," Mr, Trevelen asserted that
advertising teaching Is now passing through
the experimental stage, but It haB not be
come satisfactory as yet. He urged a cor
relation of courses between advertising
schools and universities, colleges and
schools of commerce.
"Conditions differ sd materially in dif
ferent colleges and universities and in
different sections of the country that con
clusions reached upon the basis of an
understanding of one set of problems may
not be tenable under other pondltlons," he
said. "That which might be accepted by
ona aa a satisfactory statement of what
constitutes training for an-advertising voca
tion might not be at all acceptable to
others. There la not, strictly speaking, any
vocation or profession of advertising; in
stead, there are a number of vocations all
more or less dependent upon advertising;
"The planning of a curriculum for ad
vertising training is likely to be Influenced,
by the particular interests of the person
who formulates It.
"One of tha first questions a ba settled,
when a new curriculum Is being planned la
Its relation to the established courses of the
university and the necessary administrative
machinery for Its operation. As has already
been Indicated, the development of tha
teaching of advertising has not been at alt
systematic, with the result that there is no
uniformity as to th- placing of responsibil
ity for advertising courses. About nv
third of the courses In advertising- now
give are offered In courses tn Journalism,
about one-third in Echools of commerce and
one-third under the direction of various
academic departments. In several univer
sities different courses In advertising- are.
given in two or more school.
"The reason for- this variation Is clearly
historical, and local, and does not depend
upon any material difference of opinion as
to the nature of courses in advertising. ' la
one Institution Instructors In Journalism
have shown, a particular aptitude for ndvi'
tlslng teaching i In another the lurat lit
advertising has been developed in, th
School of Commerce; In still another tlua
department of psychology has betu tha tot
to, sea the opportunity for these- cour.
"If complete curricula, Air tha trsl&i&f
