The following are the exchanges received by the True Blue during the last month. Most of them have been especially interesting Christmas num- bers. The True Blue will be glad to exchange with other schools not on our present list. “The Spartan,” Sparta, Wis—Why not have a few jokes, We are glad to see the “I awrentian” appear so often on our exchange shelf. The Literary department of the December “Dinosaur,” Laramie, Wy- oming is especially fine. “The Message of the Golden Ftiame” deserves special mention. Look into the “Mirror” (Stillwater, Minn.) and you will see something very attractive. “The Little Gray Mouse” in the December “Menomite;” Menomonie, Wis., is very interesting. Teacher—“What would you call a man that pretends to know every- thing?” Freshie—“A school teacher.’—Ex.

TRUK HLUK bate cannot read with his brain in a stupor. It is not sufficient for him merely to understand what he reads as it is in other studies. He must weigh, compare, discriminate, retain the important and do away with the unim- portant. His judgment is constantly called to pass upon material, all of which may be truthful but which differs in value. Hudson High has scheduled two debates so far. We are in a triangular debate with Ellsworth and River Falls. The question for debate is: Re- solved, That the Parcels Po t liould be extended to include the ent're ex- press service of the United States. The members of these two teams are as follows: Affirmative:—Harvey Howalt, Ed. Vik, Ulrik Blomholm. Negative:—Charles Kelly, Leo Miehaelson, Isabelle Utman. In order to pay expenses we must have the support of the student body Are we to have a large number of students present this year, or are we to have less than twenty like we had last year. The debate will also be of interest to all, for the subject of postal express” is widely discussed at the present time. LEST WE FORGET This world is old, yet likes to laugh. New jokes are hard to find; A whole new editorial staff Can’t tickle every mind. So if you find some ancient jokes, Decked out in modern guise, Don't frown, and call the thing a fake. First laugh—don’t be too wise.” WHAT SHOULD WE DO? The True Blue has two distinct types of readers. The active students compose one class, wiiile the other class is a combination of the inactive students, the alumni, parents of the students, and members of other High Schools. The former type already know all the news before it can possibly ap- pear in print, and for that reason wrould rather have the paper filled with features, and ocal jokes, and we think that their cause can readily be justi- fied. The other type does not know many of the present students, and does not attend the different school. functions and so cannot appreciate the points of the personal jokes, and for that reason prefer to nave the paper give them actual news concerning the school. We also see their case. What we c!o not see is, what to print in the True Blue. The only solu- tion for the problem that we can find is a compromise.
