CHRYSTALLIZING PUBLIC "
OPINION A NEW ART
Crystallizing Public Opinion, by Ed
ward L. Bernays. Boni and Liveright,
publishers, New York.
A new profession has sprung into
existence, and so widespread and
powerful has its influence become that
Edward L. Bernays, of New York, has
made it the subject of a somewhat
novel treatise. The profession is that
of public relations counsel.
Some years ago the pestiferous cir
cus press agent, with his cheap cigars
and bundle of tickets, was the only
representative of what later became
known as the publicity fraternity. To
day, big business enterprises, public
institutions and movements find it not
only profitable but vitally necessary
to employ the services of trained pub
licity experts or, as they are sometimes
called, public relations counsel.
Mr. Bernays directs his treatise to
journalists, executives, heads of insti
tutions, economists, advertising men
and advertisers, public officials, pub-
iiciais, arums, puuucii; men ttuu
social workers. His study of the in
dividual mind, followed by a discus
sion of group and herd thought, are
a distinct contribution to modern psy
chology. He explains with remarkable
clarity the workings of the public
mind, the crystallizing of public opin
ion and the part which a trained ex
pert may play in shaping that opinion,
either for or against certain busi
nesses, institutions or movements. His
arguments are interspersed with
numerous illustrations which drive
home his points and which will be of
particular interest to newspaper men.
In view of the bad odor clinging to
the word propaganda since the World
War, the author's definition is of in
terest. He writes: "The only differ
ence between 'propaganda and 'educa
tion' is the point of view. The ad
vpcacy or what we believe In is edu
cation. The advocacy of what we
flnn't lioliava in la nrnnocranrltt "
Mr. Bernays explains that the rise
of this new profession is based on the
very healthy demand on the part of
the public for full and complete
knowledge of business even of a quasi
public nature and the growing dispo
sition of business to take the public
into its confidence.
The book should be. of inestimable
value to individuals or combinations
whose activities deal in any measure
with the mind of the public.

"Follies" Scores a Big
Hit at State Theatre
Many Young People Take Part
in Show Presented by
the Elks
The "Follies," which was presented
at the State Theater on October 3d,
4th and 6th, under the auspices of the
Elks of Raleigh, and given for the
benefit of the Christmas charity fund,
proved to be one of the most spectacu
lar and brilliant affairs of the season.
At all four performances the players
played to overflowing houses, who
showed their appreciation and enjoy
ment by storms of applause.
Gene Trader, a well-known director,
had charge of all the rehearsals and
directing, and showed his skill to the
people of Raleigh by his wonderful
training of the younger boys and girls.
He says that there is a remarkable
amount of talent in these younger
folks and that they should be given
every possible chance of proving it.
The "Follies" program was as fol

"Follies."
The music, which was very pretty,
was under the direction of Peyton
Brown's Orchestra, accompanied by
Mrs. Harrison Kauffman at the piano.
There were quite a number of the
High School boys and girls as well as
those of the grammar grades who took
part in this elaborate production; so
now the people of Raleigh really saw
what talent there is in the men and
women of tomorrow.

GAS WAR!
The gas war, which many thought
had been definitely settled, has again
broke its chains and appears before
us.
The Gulf Refining Company recently
made a three-cent cut in their prices
throughout the South. This cut con
sequently made the other gasoline
companies reduce their prices also.
Many independent service station
owners have been heard to say that
they will "stick out" this price-cutting
war. The price steadied a few after
noons ago after reaching seventeen
cents, but there has been talk of a
still lower drop In the price.
There was a time when people knew
the exact amount to pay for a gallon
of gas. Now, since the gasoline war,
which has brought about so many
changes In prices, the public is often
heard to say, "How much Is it?"
