To the Pupils of the Quincy High School, Greeting: The Golden-Rod starts out this year under most favorable conditions, not brilliant or dazzling, but favora- ble, I say, because the paper has never before begun under so good financial conditions. It is your paper, and it will con- tain short but pointed paragraphs i about pupils whom you know. It is truly a matter of great moment that we are loyal and enthusiastic enough to support a paper of our own. There must be literary support too. Write stories, poems or sketches, and the Golden-Rod will most certainly pub- lish anything that has sufficient merit. And where are our brilliant freshmen? It is never too early to begin. Let us hear from them soon. And a final word. I do not believe enthusiastically in editorials. I am afraid they are often looked upon as being “ preachy,” uninteresting, and hence are seldom read; especially uninteresting are those which preach sermons about lack of subscribers and, also, sad to relate, about paying subscriptions. Do not make it ne- cessary to have any editorials of this sort, for Philippics, I imagine, are very disagreeable to all concerned. c. “ Smooth runs the water where the brook is deep.” And our brook, sure- ly, must be deep, for we enjoy this year a large increase in numbers. The total number of pupils now en- rolled on the books is 425, a total almost twice as great as the whole number of pupils attending institu- tions of similar rank in the vicinity of Quincy. Out of the 425, 75 are preparing for higher institutions; this also shows an advancement in the aims of the pupils. A class in solid Geometry has been formed this year. An additional year of German has been added to the course of study, and an opportunity of studying Greek three years is now offered. c.
