AS OTHERS SEE US The Golden Rod— Your poets are certainly wide awake and on the job. Your cuts make the paper very attractive and interesting.— The Echo—November. The Golden Rod— You have a very interesting paper, but why wouldn't a Table of Contents help: —The Classical Gazette. The Golden Rod— A fine paper. You have plenty of good stories and your poetry is excellent. Your cuts are good, too. Your Alumni columns are the most complete we have seen. The football squad certainly looks husky. Come again. AS WE SEE OTHERS The Radiator—Somerville. Mass.— A well planned magazine. Your joke column is good, but wouldn't a few origi- nal jokes make it better.1 Oak Leaves—Oak Grove Seminary— In our estimation the best number we have received. It shows just what a hard working staff can accomplish. The Eltrurian—Haverhill, Mass.— “The Teacher’s Viewpoint of her Fifth Period Math. Class” is esecially well writ- ten. Why not compile your joke column: The Gleaner—Pawtucket, R. I.— We think your advertising manager is a live wire. The jokes are good and the Literary Department excellent. Where is your Alumni column? Argus—Gardner, Mass.— Editorials very good. Why not extend the Exchange column? Lazvrence High School Bulletin— A very dignified publication. The Edi- torials are very good. Why not extend your Exchange Department? The Jabberzvock—Boston, Mass.— A few more jokes would add greatly to your magazine, also the further exten- sion of the Alumnae Department. The Abhis—Abington, Mass.— A neat and attractive magazine. We like your style. Spaulding Sentinel—Barre, t.— Your cuts are especially good. We would suggest that you extend your Ex- change column. The Classical Gazette—Lynn, Mass.— Your Literary Department is worthy of commendation. Your cartoons cer- tainly talk. The ft ampatuck—Braintree, Mass.— Your magazine is good, but why not make more of your Alumni and Exchange columns by giving them a proper head- ing? The Graphic—Amherst, Mass.— “In Our Study Rooms” is fine. Your •cuts are very unique and interesting. The Scholar gram—Allegan, Mich.— A very good weekly. You must have a live staff. The Lewis and Clark Journal—Spokane, Washington— A husky basketball team. A fine weekly. Where are your Exchanges? It is the hope of the Golden-Rod Staff that readers of this magazine will substantially patronize advertizers who have so willingly contributed to its support. Buy from merchants who advertise in the Golden-Rod.
