ORACLE BUSINESS 62 L. s. C. 1. ORACLE Along with the art of the different school magazines might be taken the cover design. The Carillon, Ottawa, has adopted a new type of paper for their cover which we like. The L.C.C.I. Review, Londong the Acta Nostra, Guelph, and The Vulcan, Toronto, likewise have excellent covers showing originality in design. The Sports have an important section in the magazines. This department is always well edited' in all the magazines, but The Cranleighanf' Cranleigh School, Guildford, Surrey, The Echoes, Peterboro Collegiate and Vocational Instituteg the Vox Stiidentinrnf' Port Arthur Collegiate Institute, T he Col- legiate, Sarnifag The Twig, University of Toronto Schools, have neater ar- rangenients of the different events and give a more vivid description of the games. A nlumber of the schools have started a camera club and in order to stimulate an interest in the activities of this club have given it a section in their magazine. The Acta Nostra, Guelph, an,d The Times, Kingston Collegiate Institute, have excellent snaps taken in Europe. The Acta Liidif' Oshawag and Lux Glebana, Ottawa, have fairly good shots as well as The Twig, which has some action photographs. The Magnet spoke of taking moving pictures of their rugby gamesg we should like to see sections of the films reproduced in your de- partment next time. The Tell- U-All, Waterford High School, is to be congratulated on its first edition. We suggest having clearer photographs. The Volt, Ingersoll Col- legiate Institute, has a very complete magazine. We hope they will get their wish for a new school. The Collegian, Stratford Collegiate Institute, covers in its scope a wide range of school interests. We are also glad to exchange with The Snapshot and Stillwater Arrow, both excellent school papers. that his advertisements are working for him. Therefore, when you pur- Realizing that the depression is felt not only by the seller of merchandise but also by the publisher of any magaz- ine, we are very gratihed that the ad- vertising space sold this year in the ORACLE is only a small amount under that of other years. At the sixth annual High School Editors' Convention, held in Toronto in November, under the auspices of the Sigma Phi Women's journalistic Fraternity, South was represented by Miss McCamus, the editor, and the business manager of the ORACLE. At this convention, the point was brought up how to show the merchant that his advertising in a school magazine was to his advantage. So this year the ORACLE is trying an experiment. Two slips of paper are given the student on request, which say that he or she saw the merchant's advertisement in the ORACLE. One of these is given to the merchant, after being signed by the student, while the other is signed by the merchantgthen given back to the student, who in turn signs it and hands it in to the school. In this way next year's Business Staff will be helped considerably in proving to the merchant chase an article from an ORACLE advertiser, please use these slips and help both the ORACLE and the advertiser. I want to thank the business staff for the fine work they have done this year and also ,the student body for its help. -D. M. CLARK.

L. S. C. I.ORACLE 61 . . QU E Editor, JOHN SHERLOCK, IV B This year the task of the exchange editors has been exceptionally interesting. We have taken a great dleal of pleasure in reading the collegiate magazines that have come to us in our exchangeqwith schools far and near. The editors of succeed- ing years will 'End it difficult, we feel sure, to improve on some of these sections. Some parts however appear to be lacking in material. But let us think of this only. as offering an opportunity for future editors to raise the standard. After readilng each magazine we feel as if we had visited the collegiate from which it came, caught glimpses of the different school activities and met the best known students of the sport and school life. All of the Hooks are distinctive in at least one section in which it seems they have specializedi, and all show that originality which the magazine editors are trying to bring out with dfecidled success. There are a few bodks that are specially to be praised for the merit of their articles as well as for the completeness of their material. There are other magaz- ines that have one or two, better sections, but they do not average up as well in general. The following magazines, we feel, are the best in our exchange. The L.C.C.I. Review, London Central Collegiate Institute, The Lantern, Sir Adam Beck Collegiate, Ijondong Lux Glebanaf' Glebe Collegiate Institute, Ottawa, Acta Nostra, Guelph Collegiate Vocational Institute, The Collegiate, Sarnia Collegiate Institute and Technical School, and The Magnet Jarvis Collegiate Institute. Some of the magazines should be commended for their neatness and the arrangement of their sections. Most of the books mentioned above have this feature, b'ut a few show particular Clevemoess in arrangement of their sections. These books are Lux Glebanaf' Othawag Acta Student'um, Vaughan Road College, Toronto, The Carillon, Ottawa Technical School, The Voyageuru Pickering College, Newmarket, The Hermes, Saskatoon, Sask. The Literary Sections in our exchange magazines are improving immensely. This dlepartment in most cases is the feature of the magazine and it can be seen that great care has been taken both by the students writing the short stories and articles and by the editorial staff selecting them. In a number of schools, prizes had been offered for the best stories and articles, and it is quite apparent that the judges haxd a difficult task in selecting the winners. The Lux Glebanaf' Ottawa, the Collegiate, Sarnia., and the Acta Nostra, Guelphl, share honours for the best literary sections in our exclfange. The Parkdalianf' Pa.rkdale Collegiate Institute, Acta Lud'i, Oshawa, I The Grumblerf' Kitchener and Waterloo Col- legiate, The Tecaloguef' London Technical School, The Vulcan, C-entral Tech- nical School. and T he Hermes, Saskatoon Collegiate Institute, should also be congratulated on this section as well as The Scarboro Bluff' Scarboro, which had very good articles. ' V - Nearlyi all the magazines have humour sections but there are only three books in our exchange which had really amusing and original jokes. Deplorable, isn't it? The lonely three are the Acta Ludi, Oshawa, Lux Glebanaf' Ottawa, and the Argosy of Commerce, Ottawa High School of Commerce. Most of the magazines have cartoons and illustrations which they use to great advantage. All have illustlrated headings for the different cfeparhments which were ,effective and showed originality. These books with the best art are: 'L.C. C. I. Review,'7 Uohdon, The Vulcan, Toronto, and the Acta Nostra, Guelph. Also The Times, Kingston Collegiate Institute, Lux Glebana, Ottawa, Acta Student'ium, Toronto, The Hermes, saoskawon, and The Lantern, London. 'L 1
