AS TO ADVERTISING
M3JM2iai^aMSEMSMSI2i3ISJclIEMDlISiaMS^
A certain nationally known concern
spent the first Million dollars that they
made on advertising. They believe
that it pays to advertise. A certain
book concern gave away $375,000 worth
of books as advertising and the first
year following sold ten million dol-
lars worth of business on the strength
of that advertising. They believe that
is pays to advertise.
Any successful business concern ad-
vertises to the limit. The Pedagog is
decidedly a business concern as is
shown by the fact that this year’s bud-
get calls for more money than the
Governor of this state receives for a
whole year’s work. Whose fault is
it if the business men of this town
think of this publication as a charity
proposition when they go to advertise
in the book? >
The Pedagog is the annual publica-
tion of the students of this institu-
tion. If the students do not consider
the book as a business proposition, and
do not try to advertise the book as
such, it is no wonder that the busi-
ness men who should support it think
only of a charity proposition on con-
neition with the Pedagog. The staff
of the book is planning an intensive
drive for advertising from the busi-
ness men of this town.
People go where they are - invited.
When you go to a grand reception you
have a special invitation. Certain of
the business men are going to give
you special invitations to come to their
places of business by suporting the
student annual publication. Are you
going where you are invited Go in
and tell them that you appreciate the
invitation and their support of your
business concern. “Toot your own
horn or verily it shall not be tooted”,
is a wise piece of advice from Mr.
Brown. Advertise your book!

Quadrangle Gossip
All interest centers for the time be-
ing on the annual combat between the
Seniors and the Faculty for the honors
of the basketball court. It is expected
that the challenge will be accepted
flung in the teeth of the dispensers of
knowledge by the arrogant aristocrats
of the sheepskin.
It is to be hoped,' however that the
fray will be orderly this year and that
the participants will be able to control
their tempers better than last year, at
which time the dignity of the event
was violated by the fistic combat be-
tween the two “bullies” of the teams.

San Marcos, Texas
The Cats have finished one of the
most successful seasons of their history
on the court. They were not defeated
the entire year by a team that they
did not beat themselves. AH the games
they have lost have been in series of
two games and they have never lost a
series. They played one of the hard-
est schedules • of TIAA games that
cc-uld be arranged, meeting all of the
strongest teams except the champion
Canyon five. -
They are now ready to show the
way on the baseball diamond. They
have all of the backing and “stuff”
necessary to put out the best baseball
team in college baseball in Texas, and
fans are casting covetous eyes on the
championship, again.
Current Thought
The backing of the people of San
Marcos is 100 percent for the Cats. If
they sent thirty-two telegrams of en-
couragement to the Cats before the
Southwestern game in basketball, pity
the poor telegraph operator when the
national pastime breaks into its own.
The Washington holiday came just
in time to save some of the poor stu-
dents who have been swamped with
work for the last week or two. Instead
of using the twenty-second for a rest
day, most of them used it as a catch-
up day. ---—
The social side of the college life
seems to have come to life this week-
end. The Seniors were the rcipients
of a social entertainment last night,
and the two girls' societies are en-
tertaining today and Monday night.
Term exams are now only a matter
of three weeks distant. To flunk or
not to flunk—that is the question with
too large a percent of the students. In
every instance let us wish it will be
the latter. ■
Work on inter-collegiate debate is
coming along nicely. Regular meet-
ings are now being held and the fun-
damentals of the question are being
threshed out.
Riding the Hobby of Patriotism.
(Coluhbia Spectator)
A hill pending before the New Jer-
sey State Legislature provides for the
discarding of any history book in the
public and private schools of the state
which “ignores, omits, discounts, or in
any manner belittles, falsifies, misrep-
resents, distorts,, doubts or denies” the
events leading up to the Declaration of
Independence and the Revolutionary
War or the deeds and accomplishments
of the noted American patriots, or
which questions the worthiness of their
motives or casts aspersions on their
lives.
Attempts of this sort to canonize
the American patriots and to estab-
lish firmly in the juvenile mind the
idea that the nation can do no wrong
are not new or unique. A huge bon-
fire was made in -San Francisco of
“treasonable” history books not long
j ago, and to date no reports have
transpired of a pure and lily-white
phenix of patriotism which rose from
the ashes.
The Princeton faculty has passed a
resoultion opposing the New Jersey bill
and it is well justified. The patriachs
of this land were not saints in any
sense of the word, and, while the av-
erage schoolboy may be credulous en-
ough to believe that they were if his
history books tell him so, he will event-
ually reach a state of maturity in
which he is bound to become aware of
the fact that his history books were
taking unfair advantage of his gulli-
bility and his natural reaction will be
cne of resentment.
The sooner our legislators learn that
the truth is to be prized above ev-
erything, including even national honor,
the better off will be this country,
including its national honor. And the
truth is not the truth unless it is the
whole truth. The United States was
not completely vitcorious in the War
of 1812 and there is no use in pretend
ing it was. Our national patriots were
not infallible and the truth is not servr
ed by stressing their patriotic endea-
vors to the exclusion of their human
failings.
Some years ago laws passed by Ne-
braska and Iowa prohibiting the study
of German in schools under the eighth
grade were declared unconstitutional
by the United States Supreme Court
because they interfered with the fun-
damental right of people to acquire
knowledge. It is to be hoped that in
the event the New Jersey Legislature
is short-sighted and narrow-minded
enough to pass the bill now before it,
the Supreme Court will, at least, be
sufficiently courageous and open-minded
to toss the act into the discard.
Puritan”. He should certainly not
therefore be taken to task if his Prize
Plan is, as some malevolent critics
have implied, nothing but “The Old
Sweet Song.”
There has been a great deal of talk
recently about reviving the old custom
of the inter-society debate. It is al-
together probable that this will be
done. In days gone by this was one
ol the literary events of the year and
one that was frought with all the en-
thusiasm engendered by rivalry.
It would be a great thing to have
this debate this year before the public
as was done in the days gone by. The
forensice art is fostered more in other
schools than it is /in this, and it would
be profitable to all renew the old Har-
ris Blair-Chautauqua rivalry.

SCHOOL PLAY SCORES SUCCESS
(Yorktown News)
“The Gypsy Royer”, a romantic mu-
sical comedy presented by students of
the Yorktown high school last Friday
night, scored a tremendous success.
So well was the play received that
the school authorities were prevailed
upon to give another performance of
this delightful musical corned^ Thurs-
day (tomorrow) night.
The receipts at the door totaled
$1,52.75. A small per cent of this
amount will be used to defray the ex-
penses of advertising, etc., the remain-
der to be placed to the credit of the
school library fund.
The students were assisted by the
Yorktown Dance Orchestra, which ren-
dered several popular selections pre-
ceding the performance and during
the intermissions, and which accom-
panied the songs.
The ability shown by the young stu-
dents taking part in the play was
truly wonderful. Each one played his
or her part in a manner that could
hardly be excelled by amateur players.
Much credit belongs to Miss Novella
Goodman, teacher of English in the
high school, who directed the play
She selected the talent and conducted
the many rehearsals.
The News will attempt a more ex-
tended mention of this play in its next
week’s issue.
Editor’s Note: Some of the students
will remember Miss Novella Goodman
who was a student in the College, tak-
ing her degree in 1921. She is at pres-
ent head of the English department
in the Yorktown high school.
Mr. and Mrs. Dan Dameron of Mis-
souri are guests of Prof, and Mrs.
Bertram Harry.

Washington.
This is the birthday of The Father
ot our Country; and our nation pauses
in its busy work-a-day world to pay
homage to the name of one who fost-
ered an ideal; who fought for that
ideal; who helped to give birth to this
great country of ours; and who served
it well, both in war and peace. What
school boy is there who does not re-
ceive inspiration from studying of him!
And what better story to illustrate the
training he received and the nobility
of his character than that narrative
that is told of George and the cutting
of the cherry tree! Any of us may pro-
fit by reading The Life of Washing-
ton, which act, no doubt, will create
in us a desire to emulate as best we
can all that was good and great in
him. Let us be thankful that Provi-
dence gave Washington to the world;
and that Washington, in turn, gave to
Providence and to the world—Ameri-
ca, than which no grander nor greater
commonwealth has existed under the
blue canopy of heaven! And may we
nourish and keep pure the faith of our
fathers, chief among whom was Wash-
ington !

“The Old Sweet Song.”
(Harvard Crimson)
Now that the winner of the Bok
Peace Plan prize has been made
known, Professor Hudson and other
eminent scholars are at last relieved
of their probably somewhat irritating
duty of denying ownership of the
winning plap. Mr. Charles Herbert
Levermore, the author of the chosen
document has become instead of mere-
ly a distinguished teacher and author,
the Bok Peace Plan prize winner.
His associations with the World
Peace Foundation of Boston, the New
York Peace Society, the World Court
League, and the League of Nations
Union appear to indicate more than a
fleeting interest in the solution of
world problems; and indeed it was not
likely that a mere dilettante in inter-
nationalism would propose a prize
winning proposal. Mr. Levermore has
been apparently well enough saturated
in “Peace” societies to turn out any
number of satisfactory plans.
Some of his other accomplishments,
however, are hardly less remarkable
and may have had no little effect in
preparing him for his final achieve-
ment. He is in fact the author of
“The Academy Song Book”, “The
Abridged Academy Song Book”, “The
Students’ Hymnal” and “The American
Song Book”, besides “The Forerunners
and Competitors of the Pilgrim and

AT THE PALACE THEATRE
If Bluebeard of the fable had had
eight wives as lovely as those chosen
for the Paramount picture, “Blue-
beard’s 8th Wife”, starring Gloria
Swanson, which comes to the Palace
Theatre Monday and Tuesday, he
might have been less prone, to dis-
pose of them in such a cavalier man-
ner.
These eight women, Miss Swanson:
the star, being the eighth, are all dis-
tinct types and exceptionally charm-
ing. And they dress distinctively, for
in this film, as in all of Miss Swan-
son’s pictures, clothes are an impor-
tant factor. But there is intense dra-
matic acting for the star, as well. The
settings are lavish and in every respect
this picture is a worthy successor to
the brilliant offerings in which Gloria
Swanson has appeared for Paramount,
such as “My American Wife”, “The
Impossible Mrs. Bellew”, and others.
With more than $400,000 spent on
the construction of the sets alone,
Jackie Coogans’ latest picture, “Long
Live the King”, his first under the
$1,500,000 Metro contract which - was
given him recently, ought to fulfill all
the advance reports which were broad-
casted throughout the country at the
time his picture was in the making in
Hollywood.
That it is an unusually lavish and
beautiful production is substantiated
by the fact that it contains several ex-
act duplications of famous European
structures. One is of the famous castle
of Neuschwanstein in Bulgaria, a land-
mark in European architecture, another
of the world-renowned opera house at
Dresden, Germany, and still another of
the beautiful Cathedral in Herzego-
vina, the shrine of millions of Euro-
pean visitors. A special research staff
sailed from Europe for Hollywood at
the time production was begun with
exact designs and plans for the dupli-
cation of these famous structures.
“Long Live the King1’ is an adap-
tation of Mary Roberts Rinehart’s fa-
mous novel of the same name. It comes
to the Palace next Wednesday an 4
Thursday.
