The ex- changes are a constant source of pleas- ure and help and there is not a single one in our file we would willingly lose. Mutual benefits of inestimable value may be and ar: derived from these sour- ces and no paper we believe should be without an exchange list. Some of the best papers in the country are received by us and we appreciated greatly the honor of their co-exchange.

A fifteen minute general discussion The second meeting of “Webster ’ followed the regular debates, was held Friday evening, March 13th. C. 0. Lake made a short talk on the The question up for discussion was: principle of Parlamentary Law as an Resolved, that heredity influences man- introduction to a later Parlamentary kind more than environment. Marie Drill which will be conducted at all of McCarty and Julius Shamansky led the our following meetings. Principal’s What Do You Think of It? When are you going to find out what you will do when you reach maturity? When will you decide upon your lile work? When will, you consider what you are fitted for and what is more important, what are you fitting your- self for? These are questions which should be met and settled by every high school student at sometime before leaving the school. Parents and friends are largely car- ing for high school students now those who can think for themselves must later depend upon that same support. The man who is a great electrician to- day worked out mechanical devices when a boy in school. The man who has made business trips around the world studied aidie'-»d constantly of foreign countries with his elementary geography in his hand. The govern- ment cnemlst of today had a chemical laboratory on the farm before he en- tered high school. There is no successful contradiction to the old aaying ot “The child is fath- er to the man. ” The habits and acts of youth are strengthened by every repetition. The ceremony of graduation from high schoofdoes not change the character of a boy or girl, neither is it a passport from the playground of childhood to the realm of manhood. We must grow from one into the other and Column growth is a gradual process. No one expects a fruit tree in one r.ignt to be transformed from a tender seedling to a fruit laden tree. It must grow and so must we. Our growth in intellectual and moral life depends uponourowndetern ination andexertion. The following table may be taken as an illustration of this fact. Of 1000 successful men in the United States 300 were farmers’ sons 200 were messenger boys 200 were newsboys 100 were printers’ apprentices 100 were factory apprentices 50 were beginners at the bottom of railroad work. 50 were sons of wealthy parents. In the choosing of an occupation there are some five things to be con- sidered, (1) preparation for the work, (2) adaptability to its needs, (3) family traits, (4) possibilities of the vocation considered and (5) the determination within one’s self. The individual who has a liberal per centage of this deter- mination in his nature and who shows it early need have no fears of being counted one of the 1000 mentioned above.

In all 57 different schools have enter- ed one or more papers in our files from seventeen (17) different states and Canada. We extend to every one of these ex- changes a most hearty invitation to meet the “Scarlet and Gray again next year. Till then “Au Revoire.” No paper we have received this year has made more marked strides of ad- vancement in the construction and con- tents than the “Cliff Dweller.” We offer congratulations. Keep it up. The “Shucis” from Schenectady, N. Y. is about as complete a magazine as we receive Published every six weeks, each number contains seventy-five pages. The literary department is ex- ceptionally fine and the abundance of halftones and cuts is quite noticeable. The cover design of the “Retina” for February is certainly appropriate. The contents and entire makeup of the paper are indeed praiseworthy. The “Spectator” from Capitol Univer- sity comes to us for the first time this month. We recognize and appreciate the incentive which prompted you to send the “Spectator” as an exchange to High Schools. Yours is a fine paper and your criticisms are complete. .Mu- tual benefit may be derived by the ex-
