THE BEE: OMAHA. SATURDAY. APRIL 2. 1921. 5 Strong Pica Made For 'Democracy Iii Education Head of New York City Schools Says Knowledge is Not Tower Unless Used For Public Good. A weighty pica for democracy in education Was made by Dr. William McAndrew, associate superintendent of schools of New York city, be fore the superintendents' and princi pals' section of the .Nebraska State Teachers association yesterday after noon. "The kind of educations our high er schools and colleges are givint; is an inheritance from England," he said. "It is not what Washington and Jefferson outlined for us. I don't like to hear a man called "doctor" just because he has drunk at the public educational fountain more than some other man. And what silly things the caps and gowns that graduates wear are. Even high school graduates are wearing them now. "It is wrong to say 'knowledge is power' in any sense except that it is the power to dp good in the com munity. The basis of public educa tion is the public welfare. We should devise means where'ry our schools would cease to be beggars and be doers of good to the communities that pay for them. Ask yoursetves, 'What can we and our students do for the community' and then do it." ,4 Peru Pedagogue Speaks. Superintendent Charles E. Greene of the training school of Feru State Normal, spoke on "Making Public Schools Public, a Major Function of the Superintendent." W. G.

Warns Against Rivalry. Establishment of "teacherages" and the development of community spirit have done much to better the opportunities for rural teachers, he pointed out. He warned teachers against em phasizing the rivalry between urban and rural schoolsN Supt. J. G. L.

Miss, Colony played for Ex-President Wilson in the White House three Your Face and What It Tells Merchandising, Wholesale and Retail, Offers Op portunities for All Types Study Yourself, Choose Your Line and Go to the Top. By MABEL WARNER RUGG. AVOCATION that offers unlim ited opportunity for all type of people is the clothing and general merchandise business, whole sale and retail. Here is a splendid field for the efforts of intelligent mental, motive and vital-structured individuals, for the work is more varied than in any other industry we have mentioned. In the wholesale side of the work there are two ways to rise. As usual, the bright beginner must start by going straight into the stock rooms and serve an apprenticeship piling bales and boxes of goods. In the Omaha wholesale institutions every chance is given to the ambi tious beginner to learn the lines, and the minute he shows sufficient abil ity and desire lie is given' a chance at sales. Road to Advancement. Here he gets the chance to meet the merchants as they come in to buy, and by studying scientific sales methods he fits himself to rise in the house sales end of the business, or to go on to the road as a man cov ering a regular territory. If he elects to stay in the house, selling to the visiting merchants, he must rise to promotion through the district sales department, in a renii executive position. When he be comes district sales manager, out standing ability and unusually com prehensive knowledge of sales prob lems all over the territories will put him in line for the position of sales manager and get him into line for a directorship of the company in time. If the man goes out on to the road as a salesman and makes good, widening out to know trade condi tions in all territories, he is also in line for a district sales manager ship, or sales managership. If he trains himself in the advertising end of the game as well, he can make a big success as a promotion man ager, opening up virgin territory on some special product. The Big Retail Field. The retail phase of general mer chandising and clothing is a field that has been occupied too long by many half-competent and the unedu cated workers. This has been large ly the fault of the merchandiser, un willing to spend time or money to build up a morale. There are still great department stores whose policy is not such as to attract high-class trade, but their days are numbered. Today college trained people are going into the big department stores and serving an apprenticeship that soon fits them for department-managerships, at salaries from $J,(KJ0 to $15,000 a year. From the first day a beginner in the department store work must have a definite schedule of prepara tion in mind, to fit him or her for the next step up. A choice of work is permitted, if possible, and the worker must immediately begin to study trade journals, and get infor mation about textiles, dyes, and methods of manufacture and study ing market conditions. Here is a vocation where ability is instantly recognized. The indi vidual who shows interest, and willingness to learn is given a chance at the assistance to the buyer in th" department. Then he or she must study market conditions sharply, for the next step up is a department managership, and there the real brain work'-comes in. One' department head in Omaha today shows a 400 per cent increase in her department over the previous year and her annual bonus will be a fair percentage of every dollar she has increased her department sales. In the merchandise business there is room for the short-fingered per son, and the long fingered, the planner and the detail man. There are products for the coarse textured to handle and those for the fine tex tured. Know yourself, and you can make good in this vocation. Answers to Munitions. Mill B.
