Tl E V ltiiiili Ll Gif sf- We write an editorial! Well, well! Seriously, though, the task of attend- ing to the exchange department of the Hermes has been a most enjoyable one. Tru-e, it entails plenty of reading and cuts into one's spare time tif anyj unmercifully, but the pleasure and broadening inHuence easily makes up for all this. We have the opportunity of com- paring The Hermes with magazines from schools all over Canada and even with those of England, Australia, and South Africa. Needless to say, it compares favourably. Never before has The Hermes known such an exten- sive exchange list. We have at least fifty magazines on our shelf, and, though it is neither here nor there, we are thinking of agitating for a larger cupboard space. QThe cupboard door simply won't shutl. Nevertheless, all these magazines have been read and most of them commented upon. We hope our candid criticisms and caustic remarks will be received in the spirit with which they are given and, if our opinions have helped any of our fellow editors, our work has not been in vain. -Gwen Morisow, 117-B, Exchange Editor. i...L.i--1- Acta Nostra-Guelph Collegiate and Vocational Institute-We liked the appearance, the arrangement and contents. So, you see, on the whole we have a high opinion of your magazine. The Hello-Brantford Collegiate Institute-The headings are well done. and your poetry section is commend- able, both for quality and quantity. The Echoes-Peterborough Col- legiate Institute-A pleasure to read! Pictures, poems, jokes-practically everything above the average. Why not insert a separate poetry section? The Bugle-Crescent High School. Calgary-The cartoons are good, and the jokes are better, but the literary section is somewhat scanty. Burnaby South Annual-New Westminster-Class news and school activities well done, but why not insert a larger literary section and alittle humour? The Carillon-Qttawa Technical School-In general your magazine is good, but it needs more careful arrangement of material. We realize Mads are a necessary evil, but do hide them away! The Collegiate Outlook-Central Collegiate, Moose jaw-An organ representing two schools in a most competent manner. The new cover is an improvement. The Collegiate-Sarnia Collegiate lnstitute-A smart, up-to-the-minute publication, with all the modern improvements. It displays a school spirit to be proud of. The Collegian-Stratford Collegiate and Vocational Institute-The sport department is especially well organ- ized, and your lVloderns is a section deserving of praise. The Grumbler-Kitchener-Waterloo Collegiate-You have some budding novelists and poets in your school. Encourage them! VVe were interested in your novel exchange column. King's Collegian-Kings College. Auckland, NZ.-We are given a very clear idea of school life in the Antipodes by your magazine, but 'ffht we suggest that stories and mig gg l poems would add interest.
