Gross profit is the differ enme between the purchase price (or producing cost) and the selling price, while net profit is the difference between the purchase price plus selling cost and the selling price. Every merchant knows that if the selling price does not exceed the purchase price and selling cost combined at the end of the year there is no real profit coming to him out of the business. To rem edy this he must do one of three thingsreduce purchase price, increase selling price or reduce sell ing cost. A merchant may reduce the purchase price by buying in quantities, or watching the market and always buying safebut the purchase price is fixed by others and he must pay their price. Of course if the article is one the merchant pro duces himself he may reduce the cost of produc tion. The merchant may increase selling price, al- though the demand andv Copyright 1813 by George B.

Adv. competition have a great deal to do with fixing the selling price. But the selling cost is in the hands of each merchant. It is by manipulting selling cost that each business becomes asuccess or a failure. Therefore it stands each merchant in hand to reduce his selling cost. Every merchant could handle more business than he now handles with the same selling force. Ky increasing the sales with the same selling force the selling cost is reduced. The problem for the merchant is to educate the people to want his goods and buy them. John D..-Rockefeller said: "The great cost in business is waste." To do away with this waste or reduce it to the minimum is the purpose of advertis ing. Judicious advertising will increase sales, thus reducing selling cost and waste. are to be the Cs _.

Don't forget that the prima right of .a child is the right to bis own personality. In fact, his chief busi ness in life is to develop propsrly the expression of that personality. How can he do thls'if he is continually hedged and thwarted by you? A child learns by three meansby experience, by example and by atmos phere.

How many little Uvea are rendered utterly wretched by the loving but tot ritating tyranny of parents. The Un tie ones are crossed at every turn.' The mother la continually ^scolding, the father breaking In at times with sharp prohibitions. The queer part of all this is that those parents think, they are doing their high duty by the child. They propose to give their children soma "bringing up" and not let them "run wild." So they cramp, thwart, oppose the growing mind. Children are sharp. They soon ad just themselves to this, and get their parents' measure. Then they turn to become one or two things"good," that is, shrewd little hypocrites, prigs and time-servers or "bad," that is, angrily insistent upon having a life of their own. Study the child, seek to bring out what is in him. Don't study your catechism or "system of education" and try to make your child measure, up to that There is no genuine morality with* out freedom. Anything done from fear is immor al. Even the "goodness" your child puts on because he is afraid of you wicked. Quit trying to mold your child. Stand by and help him. Let him mold himself. Be his friend. Let him feel you understand him. A lot of our "moral principle" is mere self-conceit find vanity of opin ion, and we think we are doing God's services when We impose our egotism on others, particularly upon helpless youth.
