Nations often issue stamps to commemorate important happenings in their past history. Examples of such stamps are the United States Columbian Issue of 1893, and the Canadian Quebec Issue of 1908. Stamp-collecting or philately, as it often called also teaches geography. If I were not a stamp collector I never would have heard of such small, out-of-the-way countries as Anjouan Renya, Travancore, Diego-Suarez, and Allen- stein. I may add that I had one terrible time trying to find Anjouan on the map. Not only is it educational but it is financi- ally proiitable. Each and every postage-stamp, that has been legitimately issued has some val- ue, which is anywhere from one cent to 32, 500 dollars. I never expect to have one worth that much because there is only one of that kind in existance that being the one cent British Gui- ana stamp issued in 1859. The value of stamps is set by the Scott Stamp Co. of New York, who publish each year the Scott Standard Postage- Stamp Catalogue which gives the value of every stamp, used and unused,which has been issued up to that time. In the course of collecting, one gradually becomes more interested in the stamps, pro- bably selling the stamps of other countrys. I myself will most likely be a United States, stamp specialist before the year of 1928 has arrived. However, I have stamps from all over the world mounted in my album at the present time, and I am always happy while turning the pages of my album and gazing at these many beautiful bits of paper. Can you blame me?

We have received many favorable comments during the past year on the Reflector. We exchange 'publications with a great many of school papers scattered all over the United States. It is a pleasure to list below a number of school papers who have com- mented favorably on the Reflector and to note the fact that they come from school papers located in thirteen different states of the Union. Denver, Col. and St. Petersburg, Fla., being the fartherest points that we have heard from.

What W'e Found Out N g . 'gl Li: OME of the girls in Mrs. Sanford's eighth hour Hygiene class wished to know what Central Junior High School eats so some of the girls went up to the Cafeteria at noon and took down the lunches of the pupils and teachers. After they took down the lunches they brought them to class. The papers with the lunches on were given to some other girls who tabulated them under four big headings: sweet lunches, protein lunches, starchy lunches, and correct lunches. Our results were interest- ing. See chart for results. In order that you may know what these different food groups include We shall tell you. 1. Starchy foods are all those made from any kind of grains fwheat, rye, corn, or ricej or went something like this. This conversation was between Susie Stout and her friend. I can't get anything to eat up here unless it is something to make me stouter, sighed Susie Stout. Nor I, said her friend. Susie's lunch was of cake, ice cream, candy bar, and pie. Her friend's was the same. The boy ahead of me was Johnny Grumpy who always had a stomach ache. He had beans, pickles, olives, ice cream, and milk. After I chose my lunch I went to sit at a table. It happened I sat near Susie Stout so I heard more of her conversation.
