IR HURT IN LEAP B ATT Ialk freely with any group of strangers (say in a Pullman smoking room) and you will be struck with the thought that very few'men think up their own opinions. That is true of everybody: Our opinions are formed out of stuff we read and hear, pieced out with experience and reinforced by having friends express similar views. One man's experience is too little in this big world for him to roll his own opinions on a thousand differ ent subjects. So he forms his opin ion largely from what seems to be the general opinion of his associates. So true is this that the man who forms all his opinions independently and never borrows from others is looked upon as an "opinionated cuss." Then where does the Public get Public Opinion? From the newspapers, from edi torials and advertisements, from books and magazines and advertise ments, and from the talk of people who read these things.

"'; i8a!tern Where do you get your opinions ? mould public opinion about politics, manners, and the news. Some of the men who do national advertising try to mould favorable public opin ion about their goods. Not all of them succeed. Quite a number are so carried away by the idea of selling that they do not see that a favorable public opinion is the foundation and frame of any great selling effort. When you start in to mould pub lic opinion, it is like starting in to mould anything else. You must know when you begin what shape you want it to take. You mus; know that the opinion you seek is a possible normal shape for an opinion a shape that will last not an impossible, abnormal shape that won't stand knocks and wear. And you must keep on moulding. If you slow down or stop, the ma terial won't go on moulding itself. It will "set" in just the condition you left off and be merely a shape less, unfinished effort, so discourag ing to contemplate that you may leave it to stronger hands than yours to finish as they please.
