EDITORIAL We are proud today to publish here, two letters from business men in North Webster, saying that they have obtained good results from their advertisements in THE JOURNAL. We are not only proud, but surprised. We are surprised because results were obtained so quickly. It is a known fact that in newspaper advertising, one or two or three ads published do not mean much. But consistent salesmanship through, jconstructive advertising in newspapers that are read by the homefolks brings desirable results. '

FROM Dear Sirs: , My advertising in your paper the last three weeks has been very beneficial. It has proved to me a little spent for advertising goes a long way toward the purpose it is meant for-. We are wishing the SYRACUSE JOURNAL success. * Wayne White Service Station, Wayne White, Manager.

EIGHTH GRADE STUDENTS HOLD INFORMAL DEBATE An informal debase was held by the eighth grade on the subject: “Should Memorizing in Literature be Required or Optional with the Student?” Only three persons in the class declared right out loud that they really enjoyed memorizing poetry. In the end, however, most of the class agreed that memorizing should be required. Some of the points presented in favor of memorizing were: It would be helpful in the higher grades and in college, where memorizing is frequently required. It would be helpful to have had practice in memorizing when one would be given a part in the junior or senior play. When one got old and it wrs hard to see, he could remember and enjoy the poems learned in youth. The class laughed at this one, but decided there was some truth in it. The argument for the negative wet; led by Henry Whelan, whose view! point was that memorizing was a lot of hard work that was forgotten immediately, and what good did it do to know it even if one did remember it? Local Happenings M’ss Ida Kalb is still confined to her home. Mary Strombeck visited Mrs. William Longley, Mrs John. Garber and Mrs. Edward Black.
