The stories in The Prospect QManualj are unusually good, With the Wl1'6lCSS,, being especially Worthy of note. Numer- ous orthographical errors, in the Novem- ber issue, lead us to believe that the edi- tors do not cultivate the dictionary habit. Such mistakes as: neccessary for necessary 3 rediculous for ridiculousg Sflummmg for squirming, and several other S, that lack of space will not permit us to mention, cannot all be excused as typographical errors.

The essay on Robert Louis Stevenson, in The Round Table Clliss Rounds Schoolj, is of excellent literary merit. The character of that famous author is depicted in a manner which cannot fail to interest the most casual reader. The other articles in the December number are of equal merit. Wie would suggest. however, that cuts be inserted at the heads of the departments. This would undoubtedly add much to the appear- ance of the book. A new arrival on our exchange table is The Stylus. Although we have carefully looked the book through, we can find no clue as to what school issues the paper. After glancing at the advertisements. however, we surmise that it is published in Peekskill.
