OAK, LILY AND IVY. 15 papers everywhere are degenerating in regard to literary topics and progressing in would-be funny stories. We do not wish to criticise those schools who, in years gone by, have generously contributed their magazines to our exchange library, but we do wish to offer one suggestion which we shall try our best to accomplish in the Oak, Lily and Ivy, that the department of exchanges hud out into a truly helpful agent for the accomplishment of real literary merit. May all the schools, whom we should happen to come in contact with, combine with us in elevating the standard of criticism in the exchanges. A brief criticism with a twofold utility, helpful and valuable. To the papers we have received we extend a hearty welcome and offer an apology for the tardy appearance of our own magazine. G.

C-pp-er, in B- History, reading: “The Danes came as far as the Knocknee Islands and the Hebrewdides.” (Orkney Islands and Hebrides). Miss Nichols: “For goodness sake, where are they?” Tom’s Ma: “Tommy, where is that custard pie that I put in the closet? Tommy: It vanished into the empty air (heir). B French. Miss Moloney- Ces damnees (condemned ones! : 1 hese ladies. Greek—I)r.

However, we are persuaded that the pupils of the Milford high school are not unparalleled in their attitude toward such magazines, a fact which tends to make us believe that school
