20 THE ACORN In the historic hamlet of Kalmar, Sweden, Ernest Gustav Norstrom first saw the light of day. As soon as he was able to say 111a he made it known that he was a great lover of books—the bigger the more fond of them was he. To make a short story long, he divested himself of all hin-derances and immigrated to America at a very early age, settling on the picturesque banks of the Millpond, New London, Minn. Here he was first taught the solemn task of sitting in the corner. After passing through this stage of learning he next enrolled in Monroe School. Minneapolis, and later in Washington School. After that he attended Minneapolis Classical School, and finally Bethel Academy. Between school terms Mr. N. has been an itinerant in profession, choosing different vocations, as for instance: printing, clerking, farming, time keeping, packing flour and preaching. “The Franklin Academy Mirror” from Franklin, Nebraska, is an exchange which deserves praise. It is put up in a pleasing manner and contains some very good articles. Especially the prize oration, 'The Educational Home Maker is interesting as well as instructive. We are pleased to add to our exchange column, “The Oracle” from Hamlin University, St. Paul.—Call again! “The World is certainly a school journal which is well worth reading. It is full of life and enthusiasm throughout. Just one glance at the cartoons is enough to give one a good hearty laugh. “The Secret of the Cave is a very Interesting article appearing in The Alphian.” Original articles of this kind add greatly to the makeup of a school magazine. Lives of editors remind us. That our lives are not sublime. That they have to work like thunder To got their copy up in time—Sx. A school girl with large feet was sitting with them stretched far out into the aisle and was busily chewing gum when the teacher espied her. “Mary! called the teacher, rapidly. Yes, maam?” questioned the girl. Take that gum out of your mouth and put your feet in. —Ex. We are grateful to the Adelphia View” for the favorable comments we received in the March issue. It is a pleasure to us that our criticism was of some service. However, the Exchange editor of “The View shows by his reply that he has not visited Minnesota, the state of a thousand lakes. Tn this instance the Adelphia viewed—narrowly.
