Some Notes of Interest from 'the
Various Nebraska Institutions
of Learning.
COUNTY CONTROL OF EDUCATION
L'xcept frr New England, where the
town&hlp plan works admirably, county
control of education is recommended by
the United States Bureau of Education
as an Important factor In the improve
ment of rural schools.
According to A. C. Monahan, author
of a bulletin just Issued, the county is the
unit of supervision in at least thirty
nine states of the union, and some form
of county control of schools Is now
found In eighteen states. Comparing
county control with district and townhhlp'
control, tho "county unit seems to have
most to commend It," says the bulletin.
although the district unit is still the
most common form of control for the
country at large. Tho district unit of
organisation Is In practice In twenty
eight states.
Mr. Monahan's Investigation shows that
county control has been adopted by most
of the southern states, whilo the dis
trict is the unit of organization In most
of the states west of the Mississippi
river. '
In the New England states, where
cities and incorporated towns are In
cluded In the township, and where the
township Is the unit c" local taxation and
local government In nearly ull civil af
fairs, "township control has proved very
satisfactory."
Where condition are not exceptional,
as In New England. Mr. Monahan finds
that county control recommcrds Itself
because it Is already the vnlt of super
vision In most of the states: It gives the
schools better suppi.-t by K'vlng the en
tire county the benefit of taxes paid by
corporations such aa railroads; it gives
the schools better teachers, with better
salaries, yet the schools are run more
economically; It removes the school from
unwise local Influences and gives oppor
tunity for the selection of teachers from
a wider range and rpnn their merits;
it injects business Into the management
Of the schools, "with no axes (o grind,
no favorites to rewarl; a urnalt board for
all schools of the county provides tho
best possible schools fur all the chil
dren.' Hastings College.

way to get into the homo and 1
to acquaint the home-maker
with the uses of the prod

wasted annually in sampling.
Of course there is the waste
that comes from careless
sampling. Some manufac

their sampling over to dis

contract to do the work for
them. Such sampling is
worse than a waste of mon

lend themselves to "sampl

understanding of their talk

sampled, if sampled at all, by
employes of the company
who know. the. product and
know the arguments behind
it. These employes must
know how to talk the prod

"Sampling" as a means of
advertising is only justified
where the product is of a pe
culiar, form ami character
and where it is impossible to
convey a real intelligent idea
of the product through black
and white advertising. Sam
pling serves two purposes
as a reminder and an intro
duction. To persons who
have used the product sam
pling is a reminder. In vir
gin territory sampling is an
introduction of the prodouct
to those who have not seen
it or used it; but in any case
the sampling should be done
in conjunction with a care
fully prepared newspaj)er
campaign in order to got the
greatest possible advertis

whole projMisition is cheap
ened and the effect of the
advertising is largely lost.
Newspaper advertising
should irecede this sampl
ing campaign by at least
four weeks so that tho mind,
of the consumer may be in a
receptive, responsive atti
tude when the sampling is
received in the home. Sam
pling and newspaper adver
tising should go hand in
hand.
As a matter of fact many
manufacturers are sampling
a product at uu expense of
two or three hundred thous
and dollars a year when one
third the amount invested in
n e w s p a p e r advertising
would secure better results.
Many of these products are
staples. There r nothing
unique or peculiar about the
form or process to call for
this kind of advertising.
Nothing is gained by sampl
ing. They do not differ from
a Lot of other food staples in
the same class. A logical,
economical, profitable plan
for such u product. is contin
uous, educational newspaper
publicity in co-operation
with thorough house-to-house
sampling.
