COUNTY SCHOOLS OPEN

The long-term schools of Jackson'
county opened Monday morning, witii
record-breaking attendance, and have
gotten down to the routine of work
tor the session. All teachers as an
nounced in the Journal of Aligust J24,
were in their places, with the .excep
tion of Mr. J. U. Gibbs, principal
of Sylva graded school, who is ser
iously ill at the Candler-Tidmarsh
hospital. Mrs. L. D. Shealey and Miss
Tullye Borden, supervisor of element

JOURNAL'S AD RATES ARE LOW
The advertising rates of the Jack
son County Journal are 35 percent
lower than the average rate charged
by weekly papers in North Carolina,
according to the rate book on adver
tising just published by the American
Press Association. Not only are the
Journal's rates lower by 35 per cent
than the average for this state; but
the circulation of this newspaper is
abovb the average; making the rates,
based upon weekly circulation about
40 per cent below the average in
North Carolina. 'U
A survey of advertising, rates and
circulation throughout the United
States and Canada, of the weekly
newspapers, as disclosed by the fig
ures published by the American Press
Association, shows that the Jackson
County Journal has a circulation of
633 papers, above the average of
North America from the Rio Grande
to the frozen fastnesses of the North,
"l' ? ?
and that its advertising rate is 2c
per inch higher than the average for
that vast territory. But this takes
into consideration the many papers
with circulations of from 200 to 500.
The Journal's Advertising rates are
about 30 percent lower than the av
erage of the United States and Can
ada of weekly papers pf the same
weekly circulation. (
Arthur Brisbane says of the weekly
papers of the United States:
"They are the most important
newspapers and incidentally, in pro
portion to their circulation, their
advertising results are the biggest
and their advertising rates the small
est in the country.*'*** They are read
through from end to end. Every copy
of circulation means an entire family,
not a family that lives in one room
with a can opener, but a family that
owns its own house, and land around
it, at least ninety times out of a
hundred, a family that buys every
thing from the roof the house to
the cement on the cellar floor, from
the hat on mother's head to the
skates on the boy's feet. ????? The
service that their publishers render to
the public is? in my opinion, the most
important service rendered by any
class of citizens in the United States"
