The Irrigon public schools closed
May 20 after a very successful year.
There have been many improvements
made in teaching methods and in
the school plan.
Mr. Hoisington,
principal, has used every effort tow
ard bringing the educational stand
ard of the school to a fine point of
perfection. A plan >f supervised
study has been instituted and like
wise the project method. This has
been used especially in the grades
Mrs. Alma Greaves, intermediate
teacher, has done considerable ex
perimental work In socialised reci
tation with very gratifying results.
The primary room under the direct
ion of Miss Effie Renfro has been
equipped with every modern teaching
device used and approved by the beet
experimental schools. An improve
ment feature of this room is a new
primary library with more than SO
books which are of interest to little
folks. Tbs seventh and eighth
grades taught by Mrs. C. C. Barker
have likewise added much new equip
ment in the way of library books
and model testing devices. The high
school this year has added a commer
cial curriculum of shorthand, typing
and book keeping. In addition to all
this, the echool for the first time has
taught a course In dramatics and has
successfully presented a number of
high grade plays under the direction
of Miss Marie Hovee.
The high
school library has added more than
100 volumes >f the books approved
by the state u u r se of study. Also
the school board has purchased a
complete set of Compton'e Pictured
Encyclopedias. Prior to this year
there has never been hot water in the
building and the board appropriated
ever *300 to put In this much need
ed improvement. Shower baths wer?
lied and each room has a day
lach week set aside for tak-
ng
baths
in
the
pro-
er way. Particular attentioa ha,
been paid toward health work In
the school and owing to the fact that
Irrigon has no resident physician
there has been placed In the school
a total line of first aid equipment.
Under the direction of the county
health nurse all of the children In
the school were given a dental ex
amination through the courtesy of
Dr. Prime of Hermiston.
Music is the paramount extra
curricular activity of the Irrigon
schools. A unique feature is that
each pupil in the school owns his
own musical instrument end takes
regular instruction In band work.
For pupils la the primary room who
are physically unable to handle a
standard band Instrument, a rytnmn
hand was organixsd under the direct
ion of Miss Effie Renfro.
Through
her efforts this hand has reached a
high stats of perfection and has
been fully uniformed with Scotch
Kelty uniforms.
This school is probably the only
school in the United States In which
each pupil is studying music, or If |
others are they have not come to the
notice of school authorities.
T h e,

WHY ADVERTISING
Some individuals hold adam ant to the belief that adver
tising is a waste of effort, time and money, but the fallacy
of this belief is clearly discernible when one contemplates
the vast change in the life of the average individual since
advertising came into existence. An analysis and review
of the life of the average American citizen will prove be
yond the shadow of a doubt that advertising has bettered
his standard of living, and that which benefits is worth
its cost. This refutes the’ opinion that advertising does
not pay.
Day by day advertising is changing our mode of living,
and it will continue to do so. This gradual change in our
habits creeps upon us unaw&res, and it is only when our at
tention is specifically called to some change that we real
ize just what has happened.
Now if we look into the history of the business organ
izations responsible for the change, we find them to have
grown prosperous. Quietly ana consistently the manu
facturers of the products represented by such an industry
have kept their advertising before the consuming public.
In good years and in bad the news stories of their pro
ducts in the form of advertisements have directly and in
directly impressed new desires and wants in the minds of
the consumers. The impression of their products through
advertising has resulted in sales and profits to the manu
facturers.
Of course in lean years, their sales volume may not have
reached the previous high mark, but never for an instant
wasXhe public allowed to forget, and this naturally meant
that when money was available with which to purchase
these commodities, those manufacturers and merchants
whose advertising had continually appeared received the
business.
JS.
Those
le advertisers who had droi
dropped by the wayside by
the use of periodic advertising or by spending a large sum
at irregular
gular intervals, could not overcome the consumer
preference built up by those who had kept their advertis
ing consistently before the buyer. PERSISTENT i ADVER-
TIS1NG WINS AND HOLDS BUSINESS.
