Miss Nona Noel, with fifty-three names excelled all others and was presented with a toy tennis racket and ball. The boy who had the least names was consoled with a stick of candy. Now all were ready for refreshments, and while some were eating, others were figuring out charades which repre- sented a Thanksgiving menu. Miss Gray, Ntiss Clinton and Miss Vernon were the most success- ful and Miss Clinton won the toy ball.

26 THE NORMAL ADVANCE Exthangw UP to date eight papers have come to the exchange department, and we are look- ing forward to many more. These exchanges furnish most pleasant intercourse with other schools and institutions and keep us in touch with the affairs of our fellow-workers. From these papers we hope to receive many valuable , suggestions for the uplifting of our own paper, and we in turn should be glad if our NORMAL ADVANCE has in any way given help to another. How much easier it is to see the weaknesg in another work than in our own! So, if in this column we call attention to what seems to us reminded of our own shortcomings. If we have occasion to praise the merits of others, tand judging from the papers received we know we shalD may we, too, be commended for the good in our paper. There is an interesting column in the In- diana Student, which is published daily by the students of Indiana University. The head- ing, ttBest Editorials of the College World? reveals the best thoughts gleaned from other papers of the day. We shall give an editorial which was quoted in this paper entitled: chRE YOU EDUCATED?,, A professor in the University of Chicago told his students he should consider them edu- cated in the best sense of the word when they could say tyes, to every one of the questions that he should put to them. Here they are: Has education given you sympathy with all the good causes and made you espouse them? Has it made you public-spirited? Has it made you a brother to the weak? Have you learned how to make friends and keep them? Do you know what it is to be a friend your- self? to be a deficiency in another, may we also be Can you look an honest man or a pure woman in the eye? Do you see anything to love in a little child? XVill a lonely dog follow you in the street? Can you be high-minded and happy in the meanest drudgeries of life? Do you think washing dishes and hoeing corn as compatible with high thinking as piano playing or golf? Are you good for anything yourself? Can you be happy alone? Can you look out on the world and see any- thing except dollars and cents? Can you look into a mud puddle by the way- side and see a clear sky? Can you see anything in the puddle but mud? Can you look into the sky at night and see beyond the stars? The Racquct, which comes from the State Normal at La Crosse, Wisconsin, calls for let- ters for publication. These letters are to be written by students expressing their Views on diEerent phases of the school life. ttYou may express in strong, nay, even fiery words, your opinions, sentiments, doubts, and desires on any and every subject touching this school. The Racquet room sits with open doors, the letter stand with empty arms, and the staff llits about with eager hands. Do help us and give vent to your feelings? Why would this not be a good idea for us to copy? The same paper also earnestly advocated that the students patronize the advertisers of the school paper. Its idea was that if you pour your money into the coffers of the friends of the paper, advertising in the school paper will be a paying investment, and the advertising manager will be pursued by would-be adver- tisers. Do we at home know who our adver- tisers are? If so, do we patronize them?
