AFTERNOON—4 EDUCATION BUILDING Conference of Principals and Supervisors of Junior High Schools (Visiting Faculty Advisers Who Are Interested Are Invited to Attend) Conference (Continued from page me) and Kenneth Curry carried on th( discussion of this subject. * * * League Work Taken Up At a meeting of the Associatioi of Girls’ Leagues, the following of ficers were elected for iteKt year Ethel Elliot, Medford high school president; and Harriet Klumtt Franklin high school, Portland, sec retary. The point system in girls^ athlet ics, the play day idea, social life in the high schools, and other topics of interest to the girl deleiga&es were discussed. Speakers were, Emma Waterman and Florence Alden, and Mary Josephine Shelley, of the school of physical education. Dean Virginia Judy Esterly, Juanita Glaze, The Dalles high school; Min nie Threde, Salem high school. Point System Subject Miss Waterman explained the Oreffgon Point System. This system, introduced only during the past year, provides that women may earn various awards for satisfactory work in athletics. Today, after on ly a year of trial, over fifty schools have adopted the system because it enables every girl to take part in some form of athletics and in time earn enough points to win the awards given. The system encouarges competi tion within the school itself instead of between different schools and this is a good factor since it does away with trips made necessary be fore. It also encourages varied achievement in only one division of athletics. Work Given Credit Credit is given for work in in door baseball, field hockey, folk dancing, stunts, soeeer, swimming, tennis, basketball, track, and volley ball. Miss Elizabeth Crissell, of Wash ington high school, Portland, and; president of the Girls’ League fori the state, urged the representatives j to see to it that the particular or ganizations of which they are repre sentatives form ’codes or creeds by i which to guide thedr work. She j feels that this is necessary in or- ! der to make the meaning of such 1 an organization real, as well as have j a common ideal for all members. Al though the idea is not a new one, many school leagues already hav ing creeds, it is one that should not j be neglected. Example Given Miss Juanita Glaze, from the Girls’ Leagne at Hood River out lined the fundamental principles upon which the organization is founded and the reasons for its suc cessful 'existence. Miss Glaze, who feels that tfea Girls’ League at Hood River is a successful one, told something iof its organization. The president of the group heads the service commit tee as well as presides at meet ings; the vice-president has charge of publicity and the secretary-treas urer manages the finances. In addi tion to these officers each class sends a representative to this coun cil. Hood River is one of the schools in which the league hrs a definite 'creed. Finances Considered Miss Minnie Threde, president of the Girls’ League at •Salem, high school, i» a short talk on “Finan cing the Girls’ League,” told the representatives that the first thing 1 of importance was to determine the money needed and after that tp make a budget to cover the entire amount. She offered suggestion* as ■ to the manner in which this mon ey could be raised, including candy sales; a dinae plan, “stunt” shows, “hot-dog” sales, and a theater night. Kathryn Ulrich, president of the Women’s League on the University campus, offered ideas that have proven successful in the organiza tion here. Mrs. Virginia Judy East erly, in her welcome to the visitors, urged that they get the most pos sible out of the opportunity afford ed them as high school representa tives. Miss Shelley Talks “The purpose of the entire play day idea is to do things you are ordinarily interested in, and for once to have the sheer joy of com peting in an activity without any ulterior motive of any kind,” said Miss Mary Josephine Shelley, in structor of physical education, in h<*r talk oil “The Play Day Idea,” Friday at the meeting of the Girls’ League association in the Woman’s building. A baseball game, a swim, and a picnic could be the basis of play lay for the girls in a small high school, according • to Miss Shelley, )r the plan could be elaborated to mv exterft. A canoe rac^, games, a swim, a picnic supper at which •logging was the entertainment, and lances -on the lawn composed the ast play day between Oregon and Iregon Agricultural college. Suggestions Made A marshal of the day to keep general control, a hostess commit tee to look out for the comfort of the guests, referees, field judges, and other officers would be needed in proportion to the intricacy of the plan, she added. Colors, caps, or other insignia would be needed to distinguish the rival teams. A smoothly planned schedule with no gaps between the events is an important, matter, as well as a first aid kit, and the con sideration of sun, shade and ben ches, where the spectators are to sit. The morning meeting of the as sociation was presided over by Myrtle .Mast, president of the Wo man 's Athletic association. Eliza beth Crissell, from Washington high school, president of the association, presided during the afternoon. Reflect School in Paper “Your school paper should be a mirror of your school; '.more, it should interpret your school,” Miss Jessie Spaulding Smith, instructor of newswriting and director of pub lications and publicity at the Oak and Technical high school, Oakland, California, told high school journal ists. “It should convey the student spirit to the faculty, it should be a means whereby the parents can keep in touch with the present-day meth ods of teaching, it should be a guide to the general public of the way in which its money is being spent.” The high school sheet may have an important effect on com munity affairs, especially charity drives, Miss Smith said. She also spoke to the advisers’ conference at 4 o’clock on “The High School Magazine as a Stimulus for Creative Writing.” The advis ers’ division was called to order by Eric W. Allen, dean of the school of journalism. Allen Advises Definite Aim Dean Allen lead a round table dis cussion on “The Purpose of a High School Publication” in the press division, which was presided over by Robert L. Thomas, president of the association, and former editor of The Lens, Washington high school. Dean Allen asked high school editors to set for their papers a definite purpose, the types of which might be to inculcate a spirit of good sportsmanship, to prevent or heal up school rows and quarrels, to make the town or city proud of its school, to strengthen school or ganizations, to keep elections clean and fair and generous in spirit, to make discipline unnecessary, to rec ognize merit, and to help the school grow. # * » Publishing Problems Cited Round table discussions, during which conditions in many schools were disclosed and commented on by the delegates were important parts of the sessions. The afternoon sessions of the con ference were divided into the edi tors and managers’ divisions, pre sided over by Professor George Turnbull, and Professor W. F. G. Thachec. Speakers heard from were, Robert C. Hall, and Raymond D. Lawrence, University school of journalism, Rex E. Robinson, Cor vallis high school, Virginia Reid, Grants Pass high school, Allen Spald ing, Medford high school, Susan Chadwick, Union higfa school. Shel don F. Sackett, editor of the Mc MinnviSle Telephone-Register, talked to the managers about “The Busi ness Management of a High School Publication.” Sackett outlined the problems of a publication as being three-fold: first, the business ideal of a pub lication ; second, the technical know ledge necessary; third, the actual business administration. Advertising does not always pay, in the opinion of Mr. Sackett. It 1 n 1 y pays if it is well directed and veil paid.

They should show advertisers that they have a quality publica tion and should always give adver tisers service. “Every business manager should tie up the copy with what he wants to sell and with the peopie he has to deal with. He should know some thing about typography. Printing is the tool and it is tremendously necessary to know the processes by which the paper is turned out,” con tinued Mr. Sackett. In the conduc tion of the business administration, bills should be sent promptly, so that they will be collected promptly. Printing should be arranged so that it is done at a seasonable cost by cooperation with the printer, he ex plained. • * * Hotw to Sell Advertising bell: yourself; if you do this you will sell advertising,” said Calvin Horn, advertising manager of Old Oregon, University alumni maga zine, in an address, “Advertising Salesmanship” before the business, circulation, and advertising mana gers’ conference, of the high school pi ess association at. t&w? Thniversity of ^Oregon January 14. -Much the success of adver tising salesmanship depends upon the style of approach,7'’ Mr. Horn pointed mt. ‘‘The mose efficient method of attack is te icome at a man from his own point of view. Do not talk at a man. Always talk with him. Say something that will please him, and that will make him respect vour judgement. To do this is not flattery; it is courtesy. It is showing the proper deference and respect for vour customer. The best policy is to listen first, then talk afterward. I do not believe in ar guing or contradicting. Thene is an old fallacy floating around that a salesman's mouth must always be full of arguments. It must not.” Mr. Horn urged the advantage of showing samples of the product. He maintained that an advertising lay out and copy will interest the cus tomer right away. He knows that you are taking an interest in his business. A good neat layout with his name printed on it tends to have a psychological effect, and usually sells. ‘‘In selling advertising,” the speaker stated, “it is pertinent to know your publication, that is, to be well posted on rates, circulation, and the kind of readers it reaches.” In conclusion, Mr. Horn summed up the essentials or successful ad vertising salesmanship under three points: “First is work. Real sell ing is not easy. Second is honesty. Be honest with yourself, with your publication, and with your custo mer. The third is more difficult to describe. It is a kind of driving force that makes men work fast. A good name for it is enthusiasm.” • • • Debate Problems Heard ‘‘Problems Connected with High School Debating” wero outlined by Stanford Brooks of Astoria as fol lows: laxity of interest in the public due to laxity of interest among the students, because of this lack of in terest debate does not pay and the best speakers do not turn, out, and Appreciation You have, no doubt, en joyed your visit on the Oregon campus and wish to express your apprecia tion for the kindness your hostess has shown you.
