 The Oracle, Brodhead.—Your paper is small but good. A few more cuts would liven up the paper and would also suggest that you add an Exchange column. We wish to acknowledge “The Kodak,” Milwaukee Downer and “The Criterion,” Waupaca. “The Index, Oshkosh, Wis.—Your literary department is very large and exceptionally good. The cover design for the Thanksgiving design was very good. We are glad to see such a large exchange column in your paper. “Exponent,” Platteville Normal.—Tho not as large as some of our other exchanges it contains some very good reading matter. We would suggest that you have a regular exchange column instead of spreading the jokes thru the other reading matter. “The Spy,” Kenosha, is a very well edited paper and contains some very good reading matter. We would suggest that you group your humorous together under one heading instead of being scattered thru the other pages. A few more cuts would add much to the appearance of the paper. The Spartan,” Sparta.—Every department is well edited and the whole paper is far beyond criticism. “The Increscent,” Beloit, is one of our best exchanges. Every department is well edited and it is certainly coming out strong this year. The Student,” Marinette.—Your literary department is very small and a few more cuts would add much to the appearance of your paper.

The Manitou. Manitowoc, Wis.—The literary department is very good and fills a good share of the paper. “Buddy’s Troubles’’ is very good and seems to be somewhat of a satire on the phrases of the English language. The cuts were neat and appropriate and the Editorial in the November issue was especially good. A table of contents always helps the reader, why not add one? “The Daisy,” Eastern Division High School, Brooklyn, N. Y.—The literary department is very good. “The Trials of a Secretary” is especially worthy. The article on Cornell University is very instructive and well written. The “Public Chute” is a very good plan and may be well carried out. We are sorry to see such a small exchange column and hope it will be enlarged soon. “Snap Shots,” West Green Bay.—The paper is one of the best of our exchanges. Every department of the paper is well edited. The neat cuts help much to make the paper attractive. In the literary department “The Find in the Sands” was especially interesting. We have received the Christmas numbers of “The Comet,” Milwau-ke„ “The Lake Breeze,” Sheboygan, and “The Daisy,” Brooklyn, N. Y., and they are all exceptionally good and every one contains one or more especially worthy Christmas stories. The cover design of the “Lake Breeze” was very neat and well drawn. All of these schools should be very proud of their Christmas numbers. The Christmas number of “The Lawrentian” is better than ever. The literary department is exceedingly large and all the stories are good ones. “The Polaris,” Freeport, 111.—A good paper and the cover design of the Thanksgiving number was very well drawn. We would suggest that you devote your exchange column more to the criticising of other magazines. 21
