Mountain Gr to-day explained to the State Teachers’ Association, in con vention here, his method of using newspapers for study in the classroom. Prof. Lynch has great faith in the educational value, of the modern newspaper-and is a sub scriber to seventy dailies, week lies sad semi-weeklies. He said: "I discovered some time ego that no textbook is equal to toe newspapers as a means of dis seminating actual and np-to-date knowledge in the'school room. Textbooks teach only a theory of the world and its facts, the newspapers tell the real drama of ills in its varied forms. "Every Friday morning I have my pupils devote time to reading newspapers. Eech pupil has a different journal. Each pupil reads but oue article. At a giv en signal the papers are folded op ana each pupil tells the story he has been reading in his own words. This plan has many ad vantages, not the least of which is that it enables the teachers to! What Kills Trad*. M«w Tort Atriw. • » Several years ago the large bicycle companies of the United States formed a combination— oe-trust—and all the leading cycle companies were brought under a single management. One of the first apparent results was the cessation of the large individual advertising campaigns which marked the progress of the individual compa nies. The trust used very little advertising and merely endeav ored to popularise the names of its leading machines. Some time ago this great concern, the American Bicycle company, went into the hands of a receiver. Col. A. A- Pope, who was the ptoacer advertiser in the cycle field and whose Columbia wheels were for years the standard of perfection in bicycle production, was recently asked, about the outlook for the company In the fnture. After saying that the Columbia factory at Hartford would soon resume operations he add#d: "The cessation of advertising killed the bicycle business, and the way to revive it is to resume that same important matter. Yon can see bow 1 feel in the matter when I tell yon that I spent $500,000 in one year in that sort of publicity, ana that it is my idea for the future—to ad vertise." When the trust was organised the wiseacres said: "We are spending our earn ing* for advertising—)f we combine all the leading compa nies we need' only do as mnch advertising for all as one com pany is now doing." This policy was followed and the result has been a decline in what has been called the bicycle lad—the trust is in the hands of a receiver and the industry paralysed. The cracker trust, the tobacco trust and others have been notable successes—the bicycle trust a notable failure. The first have been liberal— nay, prodigal advertisers. They bfive been constantly placing new names before the public almost without exception achieving in dividual successes. The bicycle people endeavored to advertise hall a dosen or more wheels in a general way—there was nothing specific in the announcements— with failure aa the final mult. Tht trfgia ef Tey*.
