176 Ksramnu V62 Q05 It is with considerable pleasure that we look back in review of the first year of the existence of KERAMOS. We have re- ceived many valuable exchanges which have aided greatly in the improvement of our paper. We have appreciated the honor of the office and the experience. The Exchange department of a paper is the one common link that binds together all the High Schools in the country. In our common mistakes and successes we are a great literary brotherhood. And we fellow citizens of this great literary broth- erhood have a more than local influence. Our ideas may benefit and our mistakes forewarn editors in distant parts of our own country and even in other countries. The circle of usefulness of the Exchange column is not restricted as locally as our other High School duties, but this feature of every good school paper is of indefinite extent in its scope. We certainly wish to acknowledge and express our thanks for the exchanges we have received during the year. For a paper in its very infancy we were favored with quite a number and we feel sure that they are only heralds of the great number that eventually will appear. And now we leave the incoming Ex- change Editor of Kammos to the tender mercies of all other incomers of exchan- ges. May he fare as well as we have at their hands and enjoy as many com- pliments on his Exchange as the first one has done. May Krzimvios through the infiuence of its Exchanges grow and liourish until it becomes as great a stand- ard as some of the Exchanges we are now receiving. PERSPIRINC. The eye of a little Washington miss was attracted by the sparkle of dew at early morning. Mamma, she exclaimed, it's hotter'n I thought it was. What do you mean ? Look here, the grass is all covered with perspiration. -Baptist Commonwealth. The literary boarder fastened his eyes upon the hash. Kindly pass the Review of Reviews, he said.

PIA O FAKIR EXPO ED A few makers of cheap pianos commenced two years ago aplan by which customers could apparently acquire some- thing for nothing. In other words, they advertised that to the person who would first solve a simple puzzle, or who would perform some trifling service lfor which they would not pay 5 cents in cash? they would issue a certincate valued at 5550 or more. The result of this is that thousands of replies are received which are used for circularizing and a follow-up system. Each person who replies gets the 5550 certificate and it then is discovered that it is only available as part pay on the purchase of a new piano. Of course, the trick seems transparent to the merest child, as it is only necessary to raise the retail price to enahle the dealer to avoid any cost to himself: but even persons ol' average intelligence cannot resist yielding to the belief that a handsomely engraved certificate bearing the mark. value SSO, must be worth something, and they think in many cases that they save money by going to the fakir and buying a piano for S350 and turning the S550 certificate rather than to go to a straight dealer and lmuy a piano for 214300. QI The American Newspaper Puhlisher's Association, in a recent meeting have taboocd all misleading advertising and it is interesting to note that fake contest piano advertising is included in the following list of bunko schemes: 1. Bucket Shops 6. Attacks on Personal Character 2. Large Guaranteed Dividends 7. Guaranteed Cures 3. Massage 8. Matrimonial Offers 4. Fortune Tellers 9. Palmists, etc., etc., etc. 5.
