You have an interesting magazine. Your 16 3 . iuilni vi ,L A 'For many days we had been tempest- tossed. Six times had the darkness closed over a wild and terrific scene, and return- ing light as often brought renewed dis- tress, for the raging storm increased in fury until on the seventh day all hope was lost. VVe were driven completely out of our courseg no conjecture could be formed as to our whereabouts. The crew had lost heart and were utterly exhausted by incessant labor. The riven masts had gone by the board, leaks had been sprung in every direction, and the water, which had rushed in, gained upon us rapidly. lThe Swiss Family Robinsonl Such was the plight of my friend and I. We struck a reef with a crash, and on a hastily constructed raft we drifted aimlessly around, Finally reaching land. Feeling adventurous we decided to explore. Accordingly we set out. Our footsteps seemed to be in some mysterious manner attracted in the direction of a large bunch of rocks. There to our surprise we found a mammoth cave! We ventured in cau- tiously and there in the innermost depths was an old iron-bound chest. It took us some time to drag the chest out into the open. Once there, however, be Well worth the effort, for it we discovered a valuable old manuscripts, and on top it proved to upon opening collection of was: The Green and White-Manila. Next came into view and was undoubt- edly a treasure well worth finding. Its source also lent a particular enchantment to the reading of the magazine, We cer- tainly enjoyed this magazine and spent a long time between its covers. The R. H. S. Searchlight-Richford, Vt. Now the Searchlight came into view. The Alumni Notes were very cleverly written up. A few cuts would have im- proved the magazine. The Register-Burlington, Vt. This was next in our line of vision. This magazine had a line Literary de- partment, but we thought it would have looked better if it were placed in the front rather than in the back of the paper. The cuts were quite original. Away over in the corner We discovered The Peals-Orange, Mass. The Orange High School students pub- The Eial lished this magazine and are to be compli- mented on their fine work. Every depart- ment was well taken care of and showed careful preparation. The Sutherland-Proctor, Vt. This one was almost at the very bottom of the pile. We like especially well The Senior Roll Call. All the poems show that the students must have a very high poetic ability. AS OTHERS SEE US THE DIAL-Brattleboro, Vt. K Your cover is very attractive and ap- propriate for the autumn season. You have a hne Literary and French Depart- ment. VVhy not have a few more real and laughable jokes?-The Orange Peals, Orange, Mass. THE DIAL-BfHttlCbOfO, Vt. We like the idea of a Science Depart- ment. Your paper is most interesting, but some cuts would greatly improve its appearance,-R. H. S. Searchlight, Rich- ford, Vt. I THE DIAL-Brattleboro, Vt.

Literary Department demands praise- The Catarnonnt, Bennington, Vt. THE DIAL-Brattleboro, Vt. Yours is a compact and well-arranged magazine.

Your cover de- sig11 shows skill and it cleverly illustrates spring. VVhy not add a few more jokes to your magazine ?-The Ronfian, Rome, Geor- gia. THE DIAL-Bf3ttl6bOfO, Vt.

The page Parva Sed Apta had some very fine articles in it. The French Depart- ment was cleverg but do you not think one page would have been sufficient? We liked the Science Department, especially the arti- cle, The Metric System in Everyday Af- fairs. Good luck to THE DIAL.-.ElZSfE?'7l Echo, Baltimore, Md. P. S.
