It is our intention to furnish our patrons, however, with a better and hiqher than second class. Editorial. Ylany of our high schools at the present day issue papers of tlieir own, and, not to he outdone by them, we venture to offer to the public. The Oak, Lily anh Ivy. May we be no more moved by the storm of criticism M’hich the new dejiarture will jirobably arouse than is tlie oak by the wind ■wliose strength is vainly exerted in at¬ tempting to u]n’oot it; may our pat¬ rons resemble the ivy, clinging to us through fair ' weather and foul; and let us all take for our motto the lily’s sig¬ nification and cultivate purity of lan¬ guage, of action and of thought. This will not be a jiolitical paper. We have no jiolitical editor and shall enter upon no discussion uf vital in¬ terest to the country ; neither will it be a commercial jiaper, for our col¬ umns M ' ill not be filled M ' ith (piotations from the market, although from the advertisements it contains, our readers can ascertain where purchases may be most profitably made. Its aim is sim¬ ply to give some idea of M’hat we are doing, and to enable us to obtain expe¬ rience M ' hich may be of use to us in after life. We trust it will bring us into closer relation with those who feel an interest in the school, especially the alumni. It M ' ill be the earnest desire and en¬ deavor of the jiresent board of editors to make the jiaper a success, but to do this we must have sujiport. If each of our friends, who is able, would sub¬ scribe for our pajier, it would encour¬ age us and aid the paper. If we re¬ ceive more than enough to pay the costs, the surplus will be devoted to a class fund which will be used to make the school-room more attractive and to add to the collections in our cabinets. We invite communications from schol¬ ars, graduates, and all others interest¬ ed in the school. Industrial Exhibition. To obtain a prize fund for the com¬ ing Industrial Exhibition, to be held l)y the school in the spring, we sug¬ gest that each member of any former class can show his interest in the en- terprise, by contributing a small sum, ({lerhaps five or ten cents), which will help to make up the amount for the purchase of prizes. One member of each class will be reipiested to collect and take charge of its individual fund, which is to be delivered to the prihci- |)al, who will procure prizes, probably books, and inscribe upon each the name of the class jiresenting it. The money required for the prizes of last February was secured by the donations of forty-five ladies, many of whom had no jiarticular cause for be¬ ing interested; but the scholars will take pleasure in finding that gradu¬ ates still recognize the school and o wish for its welfare by remembering it in the manner mentioned above. The Floral Emblem of China. Among words that are constantly mispronounced, we think an especial one is the name of a lovely autumn flower, the Chrysanthemum, regarded as sacred by the Chinese. Our atten¬ tion has been called to this, by reason of the extensive displays recently made in the leading cities. These have included six hundred varieties of all shades and color. , systematically arranged, at which multitudes have looked with admiration. The name, golden flower, is very appropriate to the yellow variety. We are rejirescnted in six different colleges by: E. C. Thayer, A, C. Thayer, L. J. Johnson and II. J. Wood, at Il.arvard ; George C. Dean and George X. Goddard, at Amherst; John Eldridge at Y ale; Charles Hicks at Ib oAvn ; Frank Morrill and Otis Krum at Eastman’s Business col¬ lege ; iVlice X. Vant and Sara Y. Lowther at Wellesley. Under this head the editors are desirous of stating all facts that may he of interest to the alumni and friends of the school.
