THE GOLDEN-ROD 25 EXCHANGES We are trying hard to build up a good Exchange Department, and by our next issue we hope to have one of the largest among the High Schools in New England. The following magazines have been re- ceived : “The Register,” Cambridge, Mass. “Drury Academe,” North Adams, Mass. “The Argus,” Gardner, Mass. “The Tatder,” Nashua, New Hamp- shire. “The Abhis,” Abington, Mass. “The Jabberwock,” Boston, Mass. “The Breeze,” Ashburnham, Mass. “Barrington Recorder,” Barrington, Rhode Island. “Upsala Gazette,” Kenilworth, New Jersey. “The Wampatuck,” Braintree, Mass. “Oak Leaves,” Vassalboro, Maine. “The Mirror,” Waltham, Mass. “High School Review,” Medford, Mass. “Stetson Oracle,” Randolph, Mass. “The Spaulding Sentinel,” Barre, Ver- mont. “The Lynn Classical High School Ga- zette,” Lynn, Mass. “THESE TERRIBLE CRITICISMS” “The Register,” Cambridge, Mass.— Your material is good, but your athletic notes seem to be scattered through the magazine. Why not compile them? “Drury Academe,” North Adams, Mass.—Your magazine is very complete. The Joke and Exchange Departments are especially good. “The Jabberwock,” Boston, Mass.— The stories are fine, but more jokes would make the magazine livelier. “The Abhis,” Abington, Mass.—Your jokes are very original, and are enjoyed. “The Tattler,” Nashua, N. H.—The cuts at the heads of the departments are fine, and your “Personals” are certainly good. “The Argus,” Gardner, Mass.—-The number of your advertisements shows a great amount of work. We found “The Argus” very interesting. “The Spaulding Sentinel” Barre, Vt.— Your editorials and school notes are espe- cially good, but what has happened to your Exchange Column? “The Mirror,” Waltham, Mass.—You have good material, but don’t you think it spoils the appearance of the magazine to have advertisements on every page? Emily Stewart, Exchange Editor. JOKES Mr. Wilson: Why do they have black notes on the piano? Smith: So you can see them. Miss Galleher: Did you have a good lesson while I was away? Ford: Oh, Oui! Tres bum (bonne). Coombs: What was the cause of the Irish famine? Nelson: Why, the potatoes froze and the Irish died. Collins: What was the established Church of Ireland?
