EXCHANGE On this page we wish to thank all school pub- lications which have been kind enough to exchange with us from year to year, and comment on our magazine. We consider this section to be a very important part of The Echoes, as it is only by criti- cism from outside sources that we shall be able to ascertain the true merits and defects of our mag- azine. From our exchange shelves we also obtain many new ideas for the improvement of our pub- lication and solve the many format problems that are constantly arising. Plans for Next Year. Our neighbours, such as Lindsay and Trenton, are well represented on our exchange shelves. From Eastern and Western Ontario we also receive a good number of magazines. The Prairie Provinces and British Columbia have a fair representation. From Northern Ontario, however, we have only one exchange, and from the Maritimes and Quebec we also receive just one school magazine. Before the next publication of The Echoes we hope to build up our exchange list in these two areas. It is also our plan during the coming year to widen the scope of our correspondence so as to in- clude some exchanges from all parts of the British Empire, and a few from the United States. At present we have but one American school listed on our files. So, watch for the new names in this sec- tion of next year's Echoes. Honourable Mention. We receive many fine magazines in our exchange but perhaps the three best all-round magazines on our lists for this year are: Vox Lyce1'fCentral Collegiate Institute, Hamil- ton. Grzunbler-Kitchener Collegiate Institute. Coum1z'ssz'oner's High School Year Book-Quebec Citv. Among our smaller magazines the Taller of Lind- say Collegiate Institute is possibly the best. A General Criticism. On going through our exchanges we find that a certain number of magazines do not make clear in any way what school publishes them. The lack of this particular information is rather disconcerting to outside readers and we would strongly recommend that more attention be given by our exchange friends to this small but important item. With sincere gratitude we wish to acknowledge and briefly comment on the following exchanges: Acta Collegzf, Chatham Collegiate Institute. Literary section goodg printing might be more attractive. .-lrgosy, Central High School of Commerce, Hamil- ton. The humour is good, also the World Events' section. .f-lrgosy of Commerce, High School ot Commerce, Ottawa. Small illustrations in Humour are very amus- ing, removal of advertising before photogravure section would improve your magazine. Bugle, Crescent Heights High School, Calgary, Alta. The lI'ay of Escape is an interesting and well- written story. Would it not be a good plan to place the literary section nearer the front of your magazine. tiollegian, Collegiate and Vocational Institute, Strat- ford. Form news could be improved: otherwise no criticisms. f'0H1Hlli5S1i0H67'lS High School Year Book, Commis- ' Q Q u sioner's H. S., Quebec, Que. lhis is a fine year hook.

Northland Echo, N orth Bay Collegiate and Vocation- al School. You have a striking Coronation cover design on a fine magazine. Norvoc, Notrhern Vocational School, Toronto. An excellent cover design.

Bon HAMILTON -A pedestrian is a man who has a wife, a daughter, two sons, and a car. Speaking of unemployment, the average student has 125,000,000 brain cells. Are you a mechanic? No, I'rn a MacLeod. From Potpourri of No-rivoc Ethereal For symphonies I only want to hear the winds Go soughing, Go bending mighty trees, And waterfalls Go roaring over rocks, And thunderbolts Go crashing, Flashing, And rain come beating down Like kettledrums in roll Upon the roof, And skies grow dusky, Darker still, And air, a breathing thing before, And after, gentle breezes blow. For here, upon the air Is music far above your symphony. A thing that men shall never put To strings. From The Vulcan. W. B. MCCARTHY M. Conaclner Dere ees wan player on de ice, Dat know ju' what to do, An' 'e mak' all de other there, Look like dey got de flu. Mos' heverbody 'ear hees name, Ay tink eet's Conachar, E's beeg guy and when e fall, Eet give de ice a scar. When Conachar skate out dey yell, Until dey got a pain, An' when 'e go around de ice, Dey holler all hagain. From The Tatler, Lindsay GRACE CRAIGHEAD Sparkling History In Wakefield Tower in the Tower of London is kept the Royal Regalia of the British Empire .... These jewels provide direct links with the English of over a thousand years ago. One may gaze at articles which were handled by such legendary per- sons as Edward the Confessor, the Black Prince, and Queen Elizabeth. If it had not been for the tragic There's a big difference between gun powder and face powder. One goes off with a bang and the other goes on with a puff. Nit: How did you even up with your chemistry teacher? Wit: Oh, I handed him a hot retort.
