Doubtless times are changing for the country merchant as well as in other lines. Not so many years ago but that people on the sunny side of middle life can remember it, some unscrupulous grocers added to the profits by sanding the sugar and adultering the coffee, but the period when such practices were considered shrewd business have long since passed. Yet in many communities many storekeepers are trying to make a success in a business of which they know few of the important principles. If the new course is installed and the men it is intended to help takes advantage of it, it should eliminate this condition.

from the case, today they are training a great many young men and women in the use of newspaper English and in the practical making of newspapers and many of these same young men and women have gone out into newspaper work and demonstrated the value of their training in a practical way. The same principle may apply in the case of the technically trained country merchant.

Salina Journal Likes The Idea of "Prune Selling Courses"
TUDOR RETURNS--NO
FOOTBALL PRACTICE YET
That the new Board's plans are meeting with approval throughout the state is shown by the following comment from the Salina Journal, under the heading, "Prune Selling Courses:"
With fair weather practice on McCook should start tomorrow.
Varsity men are checking their suits out at the Gym from Dr. Naisim as fast as they pass physical examination and fill out athletic record blanks.
Men Busy Checking Out And Preparing for Immediate Practice
"Si, I hear they're going to have a special course for country store-keepers at one of the state colleges," one of the loafers can be heard to remark to the proprietor. "You sure ought to take it." Laughter on the part of the others in the select circle around the stove; business of pulling the cat out of the sugar barrel by the merchant.
"Too damp" for practice was the word in athletics today. In addition the football men were busy getting enrolled while the rain stays and join in rush parties, so that Coach Mosse had little in the way of actual work to do.

But the proposition of teaching the merchant the cost system as it may be applied to the small business is one that will appeal to the wide-awake country storekeeper or rather to the prospective clerk, young men who look toward a mercantile life and who wish to make themselves more efficient to their employers by becoming more efficient and consequently more efficient for themselves when they branch out in business.

"Buster" Tudor returned to school today and added another hope to the pile University students are building up over this fall's football chances. Tudor did great work in the line last year and should be even better this year.
A few years ago, the schools of journalism were rather a joke with the newspaperman who had come up
Pressing down the loud pedal of efficiency, the state Board of Administration is trying out some new variations in the theme by applying the principle to the country merchant and according to plans recently announced by the board, a course in merchandising will be one of the features of some state educational institution this coming year. Thus is another tradition rudely shattered. From time immemorial, the thought has obtained that running a country store was one trade that required no preliminary training. A sugar, some coffee, flour and other box of prunes, a few barrels of provisions with an ample supply of granger twist and the staple varieties of plug tobacco combined with sweeteners at the wholesale house to keep up the supplies, have heretofore been considered all that was needful to make a storekeeper. With this equipment, almost anyone could become a merchant prince of trade in his home community, if he was good at trading, kept his credit up and combined enough personal popularity and faig dealing to ret the business.
