15. THE ECHO The Tiger, San Francisco, Cal.: Yours is a fine paper. “Which One,” “John Locke,’ and your other stories are interesting. The articles of your Technical department are fine. Exchange and Joke departments are worthy of special mention. The Normal Record, Chico, Cal.: Your material is not of the best. Your arrangement is not of the best. Your material is good. For a quarterly you have a small but excellent exchange department. ‘Pohob, Elko Nevada: Several criticisms are due you, Pohob. Change the type of your story headings, drop out the division lines, place your jokes under one. department, and add a few cuts. You must have a new editor; your paper seems to have more spirit behind it. Criticisms such as you refer to in your editorials should never be repeated nor noticed. The Red and Black, Tampa, Fla. (December:) Too often your adver- tisements either exceed or equal your Literary department. Try and avoid such arrangement; it will increase your value as an exchange and to your school. Your material is good. The Toltec, Durango, Coloroda: You are a good paper, Toltec. “Much Ado About Nothing” is interesting, as is “My Christmas in Alaska.” Your locals are good, but your Exchange department is rather weak. Your edi- torials are interesting. You are welcomed, as usual, Owl, Fresno, Cal. Your Exchange depart- ment is a novel idea; more editors like yours with a few ideas would greatly improve the Exchange departments. Your Literary department is good. The Far Darter, St. Helena, Cal.: You issue a well-arranged journal. A new feature which is quite noticeable is the grouping of scholars under cer- tain headings. Your school spirit could be stronger. The Cardinal, Portland, Ore.: Your staff is out of place. Why not have it precede your editorials on page twenty-nine? You have a number of good Christmas stories. “The Advantage of Travel” is a fine article. From what source did it come? Original ‘funny stuff’ seems to be lacking. Why do you continue stories, Wheat, Ritzville, Washington? We do not consider our exchanges as jokes, but by your Exchange department arrange- ment we are led to think that you do. Place your criticism before the ex- change jokes; it will greatly improve that department. Your stories, El Gabilan, Salinas City, Cal., are short but good. The editorial is interesting, as is your Smile column. The Searchlight, San Rafael, Cal.: What an excellent semi-annual you issue, but really you should come quarterly if not monthly. The idea ex- pressed by your Exchange department is one that ev ery school paper should carry out. Your stories are all good. Your covers are always good. Mercury, Milwaukee, Wis.: The editorials are excellent. Your stories are good. What is the matter with your Exchange department? It is too short. The Academy, Milwaukee, Wis. (December): Where is your table of contents? Your material is arranced too choppily. Try and improve in your next issue. =.

This department has been crowded with journals to be ,criticised in this issue, and should any be neglected, do not get angry, for yours will appear in the next issue. Just criticism will be dealt to all exchanges during the semester. Argus, Tulare, Cal.: Your journal gives you great credit as a school. “The Price of Fame” is an excellent story. “Why Domestic Science Should Be Taught in the Schools” is a good article. Your cuts are also good. The Wilmerding Life, San Francisco, Cal.: You are an excellent produc- tion of a school paper. Few exchanges can be read from cover to cover as was vour Christmas issue. “The Sin of Pegralcinus” is good, as are “W hile Phantoms Glide,” and “The Heart of a Dog.” “Lumber from Forest to Fac- tory” is an excellent article. You have a “crackerjack” to write your editor- ials. You have a good Exchange department. You should have a few more jokes. Tattler, Milwaukee, Wis.: Your arrangement is not of the best. “The Tale of Regiment 44” is a good story. “The Experiences of an Advertising Agent” is too true to print. “A Tandem Adventure in Montana” is good, but why continue stories? Give your exchange department more space. Olla Podrida, Berkeley, Cal.: Where is your table of contents? You cer- tainly show football spirit, as well as athletics in general. Your exchange department is well written. Your josh department is large, but are they all original ? The Bulletin, Steubenville, Ohio (November and December): You seem to have grown since your last issues. Your stories are good. The Racquet, Portland, Me.: Your literary section could be improved. You seem to lack school spirit along that line. A contest in that line some- times promotes interest. You have many exchanges, but criticise only five. Your other departments are good. The Prospector, Wardmer, Idaho (November and December): You show some improvement in both your issues, but your arrangement can still be improved. Your cover series should be of interest to all; they are surely proving interesting to date. Where is your table of contents? We thank you for your compliment given up in your December number and hope we will be able to return it.

——= THE ECHO. 19 From Dayton, Washington, comes Nesika Wawa (December). Yours is a new paper to us. You are young and have much room for improvement. A separate page for contents and more defined departments would improve you. “Betsy” is an interesting story. Come again. The Blue Owl, Attleborough, Mass. (December): Why consider or let your advertisers consider that the advertisements are donations? Do you not have circulation large enough to insure results? Your stories are good, but your editorials should not precede them. A few more department head- ings would improve you. You are new to us, so be sure and come again. You have an excellent paper, Kodak, Everett, Washington, (December. ) How do you finance your paper without carrying advertisements? Your Lit- erary department is good. The Joke section is weak. We would be glad to receive one of your regttlar monthly issues. The Clarion, Appleton, Wis. (December): You have a good journal. Some of your departments need more backing. A few small cuts would liven your appearance. From Bakersfield comes The Oracle. Don’t forget your town, Oracle. You do not state how often you publish your journal. As a whole you have an excellent paper. = . Governing Board A special meeting was held December 8.
