JANUARY. 1926 15 ,-x -er- 4 fS EXCHANGES □ □0 £3 ® IS jfL ODD Few readers of the Bryant Times realize what a large and ever growing Exchange List we have, or just what the Exchange means. The word Exchange almost explains itself. The Times is sent to various junior high schools all over the United States. In exchange these schools send their papers to the Bryant staff. -- On the Exchange List of the Times are the names of about one hundred twenty periodicals. Some of them are as follows: The Northern Light. Cordova. Alaska: The Tiger's Cub. LaJanta, Colorado: The O'Keefe Log. Atlanta. Georgia: The Periscope. Salem. Oregon: The Richmond Eagle. Atlantic City. New Jersey: and over a hundred others, all edited and written and printed by juniors just like yourselves, anxious to make their papers as fine as possible. We also exchange with schools in our own city and state. Most of these newspapers maintain an Exchange Column in which they comment on the periodicals they receive. For instance, in The Bugle. a Duluth paper, edited by Robert Bostwick. formerly of the Bryant Junior High, we see a comment on our thrift column, and our thrift poems quoted. The Mirror. of Norfolk. Virginia, thanks us in its Exchange Column for our last issue. In our column we shall comment on our exchanges, taking a few at a time, since the list is so long. You can have an interesting and profitable hour by getting a few of the Exchanges from the Print Shop and finding out what other boys and girls are doing along this line. Your editor and staff are anxious to receive constructive criticism, and will welcome suggestions left with them in writing. Boost .for the Bryant Times. Put up your hammer, and get out your horn!
