THE GOLDEN-ROD. Wkv ide Spi‘ay$. Edited by • Helen A. Duniiam, ’06, Donald McKenzie, ’97, Alice L. Dorety, ’07, Florence Osborne, ’08. Edited by Flora L. Leake, ’96, Paul E. Foley, ’97, Grace L. Durgin, ’98, Blanche Brown, ’98. There are many excellent cuts in The Torch, and it is an interesting paper in many other ways. We are disappointed in finding that not all of our exchanges have columns entirely devoted to this subject. The account in The Stranger en- titled, “A Visit to the Statue of Liberty,” is both well written and instructive. The Breeze, although a small paper, contains a number of well- written articles, and presented a refreshing aspect on one of our warmest days last month. We are glad to receive a new ex- change this year, The Purple, from the Holy Cross College of Worces- ter, which will always be gladly welcomed at our reading table in the future. The Stranger for August has firm faith in its own mission. It has thoughtful articles on “ Book Knowl- edge ” and “ IIow Blessings Brighten as They Take Their Flight.” The Stranger has left a welcome behind. We gladly welcome at the begin- ning of this year the following ex- changes : The Stranger, The Gleaner, The Monthly Visitor, The Harvard Advocate, The Breeze, The English High School Recorder, The Breeze, from Cushing Academy, The Quill, The Pendulum, The Lynn High School Gazette, and The Seaside Torch. “ For freedom’s battle oft begun, Bequeathed from bleeding sire to son, Though baflled oft, is ever won ” —Byron. “No book can be so good, as to be profitable, when negligently read.” —Seneca. “ Music, where soft voices die, Vibrates in the memory.” —Shelley. “ Never leave that till tomorrow which you can do today.”—Franklin. “ Be purity of life the test— Leave to the heart, to Heaven, the rest.” —Sprague. “ Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery ? ” — Patrick Henry. “’Tis said courage is common, but the immense esteem in which it is held proves it to be rare.”—Emerson. “ The more we do, the more we can do; the more busy we are, the more leisure we have.”—Hazlett. • “Here blindfold through the usage of things we walk By a slight thread of false, true, right and wrong.”—Browning Will some one start a petition for a return of “easy Wednesday”? The groans of our distressed and burdened classmates are heart-rend- ing.
