TRE MI88ILE 23 “The Onas” is a very attractive magazine. It is up to date in every respect. Come again. “The Visitors,” a charming story in the “Iris,” portrays human nature admirably. This story will be concluded in the next number. We look forward to the next copy with much interest. “The World,” St. Paul, Minn — You have an interesting paper all the way through. Your departments are not out of proportion, a fault to be found with very many magazines. The cartoons are an evidence that the artistic sense is not lacking in your school. It would be difficult for us to criticise your paper. Last but not least is the Wm. and Mary “Literary Maga- zine” which deserves special mention. Your poems, essays, and stories are all one could desire. You are above our criticism. It gives us pleasure to acknowledge the following ex- changes ; “The Critic,” “The Monthly Chronicle,” “The Spec- tator,” “The Record,” “The News,” “The John Marshall Record,” “The Flat Hat,” “The Va. Tech.”

22 THE MISSILE ?Exrt;attg? 9r)iartmfnt Bbatrice M. Coleman, Editor We are glad to welcome the “Raquet” among our ex- changes. The Mary Baldwin “Miscellany” is numbered among our new exchanges this month. It is one of our most attractive and interesting magaines. The prize story “The Survival of the Fittest” is deserving of merit and we impatiently await its conclusion. We hope you will continue to exchange with us. “The Focus” from the State Normal School maintains its former standard. The stories are good. Each department is well balanced. We are pleased to welcome to our exchange des k the “Randolph-M ' acon Monthly.” It is a very creditable maga- zine, and its poems, essays, stories, and notes are excellent. This magazine bids fair to be a winner. We hail with delight the arrival of “The Messenger” from the Richmond College. As usual, it is up to its stand- ard of excellence. Among the stories we read with delight was “The Return,” written by an alumnus of P. H. S. The views of Ah Fong Yeung, a native of Canton, China, now a graduate student in Columbia University, are well worth the reader’s praise and attention. “The Cadet,” a weekly paper published by the V. M. I. students is a new addition to our exchange table. It is a very interesting paper and we welcome it heartily. “The Virginian,” from the Norfolk High School, is a small paper considering the size of the school from which it comes. Having looked through this magazine, one would think its contributors had fallen asleep. Wake up editors and get to work; remember “Work wins.”
