THE GREEN AND WHITE 13 During the present school year a number of exchanges have been received, but only one offered a criticism of last year’s Green White. We do not know whether the schools which received our paper did not consider it worthy of comment, or whether the issue of the paper which contained the criticism did not reach us. However, we sincerely hope the latter reason was the real one and that our paper was welcome. The following exchanges were received: The X-Ray—Sacramento, Cal. The Blue and Gold—Cleveland, O. The Artisan—Bridgeport, Conn. The Polytechnic—Troy, N. Y. The Argonaut—Mansfield, Mass. The Early Trainer—Lawrence, Mass. The Magpie—Waterbury. Conn. The Reflector—Cleveland. O. The Mirror—Palmerton, Pa. The White and Gold—Woodbury, N. J. The Tattler—El Paso, Texas. The Bulletin—Stenbenville, Ohio The Gleaner—Pawtucket, R. I. The Shield—Haddonfield. N. J. The Boston University Beacon—Boston. The Maroon and White—Providence The Delphian—Providence, R. I. THEIR OPINION Your cuts are clever. Please send us your next issue.—Argonaut. OUR OPINION Mirror: Why not have a table of contents and enlarge the Exchange Department? Would it not be well to have the jokes in a separate section? White and Gold: Welcome; one of our best exchanges. Tattler: Another table of contents missing. Your Literary Department could be enlarged greatly. Bulletin: Where is your Exchange Department ? Gleaner: Another Exchange most welcome to us and one which we would like to have criticise our paper. Shield: A model paper if the Editorials were at the beginning. B. U. Beacon: A “different” paper. Why not have a few new departments, such as Exchange and Joke? But, perhaps you don’t desire these. Maroon and White:. Is your Joke Department getting smaller for want of material? We miss the Scientific Department in the isstie received by us. Has it been removed? Delphian: A Joke Department and a few cuts would enliven your magazine. We are pleased to note that your Exchanges are increasing. Reflector: Your Personals would appear to more advantage if the advertisements were not scattered thru them. Magpie: Appropriately named and an excellent publication. Come again. Early Trainer: Your editorials are good. Why not have original stories? Argonant: We hope wou will continue to send us your first class paper. Artisan: Although the Artisan is pub- lished by a Trade School, surely a few original stories and jokes could be obtained. They would make your paper much more interesting to outsiders. Blue and Gold—Why not have your paper in magazine form for you surely have enough material? Polytechnic: Where is your Exchange Department? Your Editorials are good. X-Ray: “Schools in Brief” is fine. An enlarged Literary Department would make your paper O. K. M. E. MURPHY. S. S. Teacher—“Now, boys who can tell me who the apostles were?” Wide-awake Willie—“I can. They were the wives of the epistles.” California Wampus. “Give for one year, the number of tons of coal shipped out of the United States.” “1492—None.” —Widow. “What is the difference between ammonia and pneumonia?” “One comes in bottles, the other in chests.”—Yale Record.
