Multuni in Parvo redivivus! Holi- dav number just received. The Enterprise is at last true to its name in starting an exchange column. Academy Echo, why don’t yon fol¬ low your own advice, and have an ex¬ change column ? The Bric-a-Brac comes to ns tliis montli for the first, but we liope not for the last time. Spartan Your advice, if not unique, is certainly antique. Please find ns “mended” for once. The Boston Globe has quite an in¬ teresting article in the Guardian from Waco, Texas, on Barrett and Carleton. The Deland Collegiate is another, new acquaintance that promises to he a pleasant one. “Please exchange?” Gladly. Consider yourself the recipient of onr politest how, Abstract, and be as¬ sured that the desire to exchange regu¬ larly is mutual. We welcome three new exchanges, Minerva, an old friend under a new name, Our Conqdiments, and High School Times, of Dayton, Ohio. Stray Shot has hit the target of originality full in the center in its story, “The Ghost in the Meal Sack.” The idea of adojiting and converting a ghost! The Woonsocket High School Re¬ cord, in an editorial exceedingly Avell ivritten for a high school jiinim ' , de¬ fines the ])osition and ambition of Russia. A poiverful exchange column, that February one of yours, Premier! Wake ii]), neighbor, and make your exchange column as good as the rest of your paper. The Academy Bell, with others of onr exchanges thinks that a cover would greatly add to onr personal apjiearance. We quite agree, and we should be su¬ premely ha])i)y, dear Academy Bell, could we adorn ourselves with as fine an outside as yours, hut alas 1 and alack- a-day! the s])irit is ivilling, hut tlie pocket-book is iveak. Plowever,— “Hope sprinsis eternal in the human breast, Man never is, hut always to be, blest.” We’ll have a cover, sometime, with the rest. The Tilton, N. IL, seminary hoys are jubilant over their prospective new scliot l buildings, and the editorials of the h ehrmiry issue tire full of an enthu¬ siasm ivhich is so contagious that we heartily wish we had been there to join with them in signing their Jnbi- late ivhen the welcome news Avas an¬ nounced. In the literary department are two good articles on “The Study of (ierman,” and “Our Two Systems of Education.” The Shattuck Cadet tolls the chest¬ nut bell over the lifeless remains of justice in the competitive examinations for admittance to West Point. Onr sympathies are with the Cadet. The Globe, from Abbott Village, Maine, tells ns, in a very one-sided ar¬ ticle on music, tliat of the fine arts, “music, poetry, painting, sculpture, etc.”, we find hut one among the an¬ cients and that one, music. When can the Globe’s “ancients” have lived ? Are Homer, Vergil, Phidias, Praxiteles, and a long list of others, too young or too old, to claim that little from the Globe? The Washington Review is a bright paper and lives up to its breezy motto, but imagine its good exchange de])art- ment left out, and the paper ivould be less enjoyable by several degrees. We rejoice ivith the Washington schools that they are freed from writ¬ ten examinations, but are heartily glad for our own sakes that our lucky star lias not made us directly depend¬ ent on the National Congress for sup- jiort and supplies. The High School Stylus is a new candidate in the field, which iiromiscs from its initial number to tnke a high rank among liigh school jiajiers. Its editorial exjilains clearly its purpose and aim. Another article introduces us to the Brockton high school, and we feel better acquainted with this recent friend than with some of our older ones. We heartily wish it suc¬ cess. We take nj) the Academy Echo, and onr taste is gratified with the clear tint of the cover and its particu¬ larly appropriate illustrations, and with the fine paper and clean-cut type of the inside. Nor are we disapjmint¬ ed by a jiainfnl contrast between the work of the printer and that of the writers. May we suggest, though, that if room could he found on the cover for the name of the month it would he a little more convenient for your readers? The Kentucky Deaf Mute, although there are both hoys and girls in its oivn school, criticizes Dr. Gallandet for admitting women to the National College for the Deaf, in Washington, arguing that such a step will be an in¬ jury to both the young men and the young M ' omen, by taking some of the masculine tone so hard to define accurately, from the former and forcing it upon the latter. But, perhaps Dr. Gallandet is of the oi.inion that after all, the Creator did not make a mistake in placing men and women upon tlie same planet.

O IC. Vacation! Ah! Ah! Ah! Examinations! Oh! Oh! Oh!! Witli wasliing-day come the Fram- ingliam Normal quartette and tlie Wellcsleyqnintette. During the last month the college girls have been sometimes greatly en¬ tertained by first class quartette. Upon committees for the next quar¬ ter at the Metliodist church we notice the names of six of our former jmpils. S])ring is at the door of the future and will soon enter into the living ])resent. A litter of (vegetable kingdom) recently brought to school, is our proof. Philosophy III. could gladden the heart of even JNIark Twain, Avho liked variegated spelling. Here are a few variations on astatic : aestatic, astetic, asthetic, estatic and anasthetic. Another class in elocution is expect¬ ed to 0 ])en in April, directed by Dr. P. P. Field. It will pay all who can, to come; a good time and greater im¬ provements are exjiecled. Phetoric III. The aesthetic emo¬ tions are detined as the feelings of a dude. In the title, Lord Bacon, Lord should begin with a capital because it is the name of Deity. Physiology IV. has been studying tlie elfects of alcohol an d tobacco on the human system. We hojie that what they have learned will have a good effect when they are older. Algebra I.: “Now if you have to walk ten miles and have already ac¬ complished two, how many are left to tiavel?” “Five.” We mustn’t for¬ get Arithmetic if we are in a laby¬ rinth—of Algebra. Our language is not oidy a wonder, but a collection of wonders. We were recently entertained by Greek 1. who were tracing back to its source the woid galaxy. IIow different from our usual use and meanijig of that word is its Greek oi ' iginal, milk! From the superintendent’s report for ’87 we select the following statis¬ tics of our school. Total number en¬ rolled 159; average number belong- ing 1 29.9; average daily attendance 127.9; ]»er cent of attendance 98.5; cost p u ' ])upil S35.81. Considering the universal praise which all the ])apers have bestowed upon the obsequies attending the death of Beecher, we trust that many others, A ith such a distinguished piN’cedent, will have the courage to do away Avith the t WJo badges of mourn¬ ing ami 1)1 ighteu the last rites as his were and as is becoming those who be¬ lieve in an immortality. The laboratory is open from 3 to 5 p. m. Fridays for the Chemistry schol¬ ars Avho wish to use it for exti’a Avork. Why cannot the boys of the senior class sing as Avell with the rest of the school as they sing at recess in the loAvcr hall ? Physiology IV. If light travels 1120 feet in a second at a temperature of 60° and if, in a thunder shower, the thunder is not heard for five seconds after the lightning, hoAV far off is the storm? Scholar, after some hesitation : P ive seconds off. He had just come from the litera¬ ture class and Avas settling himself calmly in his seat Avhen Miss X. gent¬ ly touched his shoulder and drcAV therefrom tAvo dark-broAvn hairs, each twenty-seven inches long—but why these blushes and loud laughter? Noav girls, confess, and acquit the in¬ nocent youth! Noav the boys smile Avhile the girls strice to reach high G; but Avait, girls, your time Avill come. Our principal evidently thinks ’tis Avell for girls to knoAv hoAv to climb! Well! Ave did the best Ave could, but the ])erform- ance Avill be more enchanting (J) next time. “Practice makes perfect.” We see by the Hopedale toAvn re¬ port that the ncAv tOAvn has a “coat of arms” or town seal, re])rcsenting for the tAvo industries, farming and the machine shop, and bearing these dates —“The Dale 1700,” “Ho|)edale 18-11” and “A Toavii 1886.” Would it not be Avell for Milfo rd to go and do like- wise. We suggest a shoe rampant surrounded by a Avreath of straAV braid. The Hudson high school Avill open their Second Annual Industrial e.xhi- bitiou this Aveek. Primupal Small Avas so pleased Avith our tAVO exhibitions that he determined to try the same plan and last year he met Avilh such satisfactory residts that this year he and his scholars have made still great¬ er ])reparations. ,VVe hoi)e that they Avill reap a harvest for their school lil)rary. A piece of zinc put on the live coals in the stove Avill clean out the stove pipe.—[Cottage Heai-th. We are not sure of this; l)ut, if it does not “clean it out,” try a pound of blasting poAvder. All fact-collectors, Avho have no aim beyojid their facts, are one-story men. TAVo-story men com])are, reason, gen¬ eralize, using the labors of tlie fact- collectors as Avell as their oavu. Three- story men idealize, imagine, jireilict; their best illumination comes fi ' om above, through the skylight.—[(). W. Holmes. Carrie PI. Tompkins, once of ’88, is teaching in Croton, N. Y. Miss jMary PI. Knight, once of ’81, is cashier for Thomas Walcott. Ida M. Bradley, English, ’84, is cashier for A. J. Cunningham, Boston. Amy C. Harris, ’87, entertained the “As you like it club” at a recent meet- ing. Ella U. B. (Noi ' inand} ) BroAvn, ’70, is noAV a teacher in the Malden high school. Hattie G. Wight, formerly of ’86, is a impil at the School of Languages, Boston. James F. King, a former pupil, has entered the dry-goods business in Minneapolis. Marcus .J. Patterson, ’80, is engaged as a civil engineer on the bridges in Kansas City. Edward P’. Rogers, ’87, is learning the druggist ’s business at Dr. Ijam- son’s, afternoons and evenings. P’rank R. Claflin, ’77, represents Louis Eschner Brother, manufac¬ turers of men’s neckAvear, l hiladel- phia. John T. McLoughlin, ’83, AA as elect¬ ed toAvn clerk at the last toAvn meet¬ ing. Graduates of the M. H. S. de¬ siring marriage certificates Avill take notice. P’lorence PI. Harvell, ’75, has retired from the milliner’s business, and Ave hope to announce her entrance upon an entirely neio line of business before Vol. HI. comes to an end. John B. Tracey, English ’84, is em- ])loyed in a ])rinting establishment in Jacksonville, P’la. He has had a ro¬ ving life in Noav York, Nassau, Ha¬ vana and Noav Orleans. Dr. R. H. Cochran, a former pupil, has just been elected a member of the school board in place of L. E. P’ales, ’78. Three brothers and one sister, noAv a teacher of our schools, of the neAv member hold diplomas of the M. H. S. Reuben A. Cooke, ’80, has been at .Jacksonville, P’la., for some time in search of health. We are glad to learn that he has greatly improved and trust that he Avill remember our geological cabinet, as he has done be¬ fore. .Tudge DeAvey and Avife (Marietta N. Thayer, ’65,) celebrated their china Avedding, tAventieth anniversary, this month. A company of nearly tAvo hundred friends, from far and near, presented their congratulations in per¬ son and left substantial tokens of their friendship.

Z ' vy. Wliat did the ancients mean by “mixed wine” has lately agitated the minds of the Greek I. One suggested sugar and vvine, the second, wine with a straw, and the third, with assur¬ ance, combined all three, evidently not innocent as to the present custom. What can have come over tlie spirit of the ex-ed. of the Niagara Index? Scarcely a word but of commendation ii the February number. Scarcely a vituperative epithet! Can it be that he is sick? Can it be that thoughts of the future have caused him to see the error of liis ways? Can it be that his criticisms were written just after a good dinner? Or, at last, can it be that there is a new ex-ed.? What can be the matter? II as not the Medium rather a wrong idea of the meaning of the word “criti¬ cism” ? Does it mean to find fault ? Does it not rather mean to point out the beauties as well as the defects of a composition? Surely, if this is done in a kindly s])irit, it cannot fail to be of some benefit to those interested. Accoirlino- lo our wav of thinking, the lleview, from Washington, D. C., has about the right idea on the subject when it says: “Let all criticism be honest and truthful and our own pa¬ pers will feel the good result.” Our exchanges for Fehruarv seem O V to consider St. Valentine of more in¬ terest to their respective publics than George Washington, judging from the amount of space devoted to each. We notice among them three topics of considerable disturbance to our jour¬ nalistic brothers and sisters : viz,— The Canadian fishery troubles, about which great harmony of opinion pre¬ vails; whether Barbara Fiaetchie used really “to be or not to be,” and the action of Mr. Clark of Worcester in founding a new college in that city. The latter comes nearest home to us, and perhajis that is the reason Mr. Clark’s action meets with our approv¬ al. The Phillipian wishes that he had founded a college in the West. Let us see, what is that statement that has been goingthe rounds of our exchanges, that “Illinois has more colleges than all Europe”? If the same state of affairs exists throughout the West, and still the West has not sufficient educational means, by all means let the West send its surplus of aspirants for a liberal education to Worcester. They will find means enough there. H OMRD.
