We regret the lack of a larger correspondence but sincerely trust we will receive many more new papers during the next three months. To give the fair criticism, which the Golden Rod intends to give and hopes to receive, we want criticisms of our exchanges from each and every member of Quincy High. Further, we want the school to give us their opinion of the criticisms of our paper by other papers; these criticisms are found in the Exchange Columns of these papers. Exchanges are kept in the school library and are at the disposal of every pupil. However, one is not permitted to take them from the library. This year in the papers sent to us we find two distinct styles,—the old style, the monthly or bi-monthly, and the weekly or bi-weekly papers which many schools are adopting. The members of this school who are interested in a school pa- per (and all should be) must give attention to this latter kind, for sooner or later Quincy must adopt this more modern sort of a paper. As there are arguments pro and con, it will perhaps be a good subject to discuss in the hall some morning this winter. Although The Golden Rod this year differs from its predecessors in many little ways, it may, perhaps, be better to have it changed entirely. Think about it, you future seniore. The Golden Rod has received the following papers: The Imp—Brighton, Mass. Marion High School Survey—Marion, Indi- ana.

THE GOLDEN-ROD 2t High School Herald—Westfield. Mass. School Life—Melrose. Mass. The Register— Boston Latin School. AIIerle i—Stonington, Conn. A few criticisms we hope will be appreciated follow: Marion High School Surrey:—We are de- lighted with your newsy paper which must be equally interesting to alumni and undergradu- ates. Would it not improve your paper to mass your ads? School Life:—Mr. Hulsman’s commendation of your paper in the first issue is a great asset. By your later issues we see that you have placed the name of your school on the first page, so that one unacquainted with your paper can easi- ly tell from whence it comes. High School Herald:—Yours is a good paper. The simplicity of the cover design adds much to its appearance. Allerlei:—We believe it would improve your paper to take those four ads off the first page. You have the right idea about a school paper; you print the news when it is news. The Imp:—It pleases us to see that you believe in using all your space. The original way in which the Exchanges are written up in the No- vember issue is fine. The cover on your first is- sue is far from beautiful. The Register: Is your November cover sup- posed to be a joke? The athletic column is fine. The way you fill your last page so that one turns over and reads the ad? unconsciously is good. The Songster:— I am a mess- 1 am a mess- I am a mess-en-ger of lu-uve!” The Imp. • • Conductor:—“Your fare, Miss. Senior Girl:—“Really, do you think so?’’ Marion High SchoeA Survey. 0 0 9 Teacher:—Give me the form of government used at the time of Homer. Bright Freshman:—A democratic monarchy.
