2 » THE GOLDEN-ROD Exchanges The Golden-Rod wishes to take this opportunity to state that owing to the cost of paper and printing last year but one number, the Senior Number, was issued. This copy was published so late in the year that The Golden-Rod was unable to send any to its various exchanges at that time, and there was no provision made for sending any this Fall. This year, however, there will be four issues circulated, and we hope that they will be enjoyed by our exchanges. We shall be glad to receive our old exchanges again and hope to add new ones to our list. The following Exchanges have been received this year: The Black Ilawk, Davenport High, Davenport, Iowa. The Bmaster, Brewster, Mass. The Everett High Clarion, Everett, Mass. High School Herald, Westfield, Mass. • t Lasell Leaves, Auburndale, Boston, Mass. Lawrence High School Bulletin, Lawrence, Mass. The Mirror, Waltham, Mass. Reformatory Herald, Hutchinson, Kansas. The Rindge Register, Cambridge, Mass. The Southerner, Minneapolis, Minn. WHAT OTHER SCHOOLS ARE DOING DO YOU NEED A SECRETARY? Under this heading the Business Service Class of SOUTH HIGH, Minneapolis, Minnesota, have announced their willingness to undertake, in order to gain practice, the secretarial work of the school. In 1914 something in this line was carried out in Quincy High School. Miss Perry (Mrs. Newton) arranged with several business concerns in Quincy for the pupils in the Commercial Course to go into their respec- tive offices and gain practice in Stenography. The Misses Nilsen and Canty did so well that their employer became greatly interested in them and on the strength of their work retained them after graduation. This plan succeeded in Quincy High School and we hope it will succeed in Min- neapolis South High. THE CHEMISTRY CLUB It is interesting to note how the chemistry pupils of the EVERETT HIGH SCHOOL are making time for the different experiments that arise and have to be ignored because of the lack of time during school hours. They have formed an organization, the Chemistry Club, whose personnel includes any pupil who has taken, or who is now taking, chemistry. Besides carrying out experiments for which there is no time in class, the club members perform those for which they have special fancy. In this way a greater interest in chemistry is aroused. We hope this club will become a success. Gladys Jenkins, Exchange Editor.
