General Intelligence Is one of those
things thnt everybody thinks he has
until some one begins to ask questions.
Then a lot of people nro apt to come
out with something that shows they
think Sandy Hook Is a Scotchman, and
so on.
The students of the Oermanlown
Friends' School nro preparing thcm
selves for these little emergencies in life
when a person is supposed to have more
than a faint knowledge of what is stir
ring in the great world. They have
just had their yearly intelligence test,
and the boys and girls showed that they
nro well up on thnt great mass of facts
that too frequently comes under the
head of general misinformation.
The boys of nil the classes averaged
higher in the tests tlinn the girls. The
senior-class average was 01.0; first,
class, C0.0; second, fil.2; third, 47:
fourth. 45.5; fifth, 81; sixth, L'4.4, and
seventh, 10.
Some amusing answers were turned
in ns usual in a contest of this kind.
Ilefore Inughlng too heartily, however,
it might be a good idea to take another
look at the list of sample questions.
There were those aiming the students
who claimed that a pedagogue was n
peddler, an idiot, a teacher who will
not listen to reason, and that minarets,
silos and tarantulas were musical in
struments. Some thought that John
Drlnkwatcr was a prohibitionist,
whereas bo is only a harmless play
wright. Others held that Theseus killed
the Monitor, that lluford was tho ship
ued to deport alienists who were un
desirable, and that Sir Oliver Lodge is
the leader of tho Republican party
Keeping mem in good spirits, no
doubt).
One girl (probably tho young lady
across me wayj sam tnnt they always
make coffee in a perambulator.
Quotation's artless aid was admirably
shown by selections like these: "Where
thero Is a sidewalk there Is a wnv."
"Urcvlty is the soul of Francp." "What
is sauce for the goose Is gander for the
consumer.'
Woodrow Wilson was held to be the
author of "All's Well That Ends
Well," which is n cheering thought at
least.
Sparta Fritz, ,lr., a senior, led the
school with nn average of 89, and J.
Hildas Medley had the highest grade
for the Intermediate school, CO.

Advertising Not Only in
, Precept but in Practice
TN the United States there are but five
advertising agencies that show their
confidence in advertising by persistent ad
vertising of their own business.
There are five agencies who, when they
tell you to spend your money in advertising
express a basic business principle that they
practice themselves.
If you hear of an extraordinarily success
ful advertising campaign ask if one of the
five agencies who advertise their own busi
nesses prepared it. Nine times in ten you
will find it so.
Genuine, successful advertising is more
than the mere vaunting of empty phrases,
or the protesting of ephemeral ideals . . .
advertising is as intensely practical activity
that uses every legitimate opportunity
that turns every possibility to advantage
that weaves success out of elements that
the uninitiated do not know exist.
There is a reason back of every advertis
ing campaign we prepare from the earliest
investigation and research work to the
completion of the final piece of "follow-up."
We plan to uncover the "vital appeal"
that is contained in each sound proposition,
because in our ability to do this lies the
reason for our many successes.
'
Our Experimental Kitchen is an impor
tant factor in this direction, on food ac
counts. Many food and kitchen products
are here tested as to their merchandising
availability. When they pass our severe
tests many new uses are discovered by our
cooking and domestic science experts . . .
and advertising "copy" is written that car
ries the full knowledge of its subject a
feature that makes an instant appeal to the
keenly discriminating women buyers.
Our "Bulk Window" with its trial dis
plays is responsible for some of the most
active co-operation on the part of dealers
because by its means we have been enabled
to produce some of the most powerful win
dow displays that have ever advertised a
product.
Our section of street car to show designs
and color effects that make the most ef
fective display in this form of advertising'
. . . our store shelves to enable us to see
the best package or carton display for
"behind-the-counter" are all minutiae of our
thorough-going methods ... all typify
the practical nature of our conception of
true advertising . . . these were all sug
gested to us to help our clients because we,
as advertisers, understood their true value.
Perhaps the most convincing proof of the
value of really knowing advertising by
advertising is our unusually long relation
ship with our clients. Our present clients
have been with us an average of seven
years and six months.
Our business in 1919 increased 150 per
cent, over that of 1918 ninety-six per cent.
of our total volume of business in 1919 was
from accounts that had been with us more
"than one year up to twenty-five years.
If you have a proposition that you believe
could be effectively merchandised let us,
who. know how it feels to spend, our own
money in substantiating our belieTs, con
sider it with you and advise you as to the
best way to go about it.
Such a conference would place you under
no obligation and might be very advantageous.
