Original and Adapted Mr. Searcy—What made you late today, Ruth? Ruth Johnson—W ell, — school started before I got here, that’s all. Freshie (getting ready for school) —Don’t you wash my face; I won't have it! Grandma (patiently)—That’s bad; when I was young, I always wash- ed my face. I'reshie—Yes, and look at it! If the moon had a baby, would the sky-rocket ? A Freshie handed this to Mr. Searcy: ‘Please excuse Arthur for being absent last week; he had the measles to oblige his mother.” Miss Wylie (Hist. I.)—Who were the Pharisees? Gladys P.—A party of Jews; they were hypocrites just like the Demo- crats! Chancey P. (Com. Geog.)—The Dutch East Indies produce spices. such as coffee and raw sugar. Miss Smith (after some moments of impatient explanation) — Nor- man, whatever in this world do you think your head was made for? Norman McPeak (thoughtfully) —I don’t know unless maybe it’s to keep my collar on. Esther G.—Well, I guess if wo- men voted you wouldn’t see them going around selling their votes for a dollar. Ruth I —No. that’s right; they’d probably ask only 98 cents. Mr. Steele (Com. Geog.) —What can you tell me about New England textiles? Roy S.—New England textiles are extremely dult, no noteworthy operations having been reported from that quarter since the famous cotton mather was woven into prints. Margaret H.—I got a set of furs for Christmas. Miss Wirt—And what poor ani- mal suffered in order that you might have them?

——= 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.

THE Weston—No, I was not always this way; I did not always ride in an auto of my own: when I started in life I had to walk. Al. H.—You were lucky. When I first started I had to crawl. It took me a long time to learn to walk. Helen F.—It’s beginning to rain; you had better stay for dinner. Chas. R.—Oh, dear, no! It’s not raining so badly as all that. L. S—Great guns, old man! How did you get all those scratches on your face? A. S.—Was playing with a cat, and she scratched me. L. S——And the bump on your forehead? A. S. She threw a flat-iron at me. Vernon King—Of course, women should vote. Their minds are much purer and cleaner. Barbara D.—Cleaner? Of course, they are; ever so much cleaner. But how did you know that? V. K.—Because they change them much oftener. Helen F.—They say there are germs in kisses. Now, what do you suppose a girl could catch that way? Harry T.—A hushand! Mildred baby looks into my face it smiles. W.—Every time the Mary T.—Well, it may not be ex- actly polite, but he shows he has a sense of humor. First Girl—I got a pearl from an oyster. Second Girl—That’s nothing, my sister got a diamond from a lobster. — Hx, ECHO 2t Forrest O.—How long can a per- son live without brains? Arthur E.—I don’t know; how old are you? Miss Crane (to Chemistry class) —It will not be necessary for you to learn the table of atomic weights. No one but a fanatic could do it. EK. G—Do you know it? The census embraces seventeen million women. How would you like to be the census ?—Ex. Ex. Boy—You would be a good dan- cer except for two things. Girl—What are they? Boy—Your feet. —Ex. GOOD FORESIGHT We were all surprised at the great foresight of the faculty by putting the boys on the opposite side of the study hall. Some of the boys were becoming physically misshaped by turning their heads to the right. Now, that they are on the opposite side of the room, they will have a chance to straighten them. This will be quickly done. Mr. Steele—Mr. Sullivan, what is a pillory? Leo N.—A what? Mr. Steele—A pillory. Leo—W hy—er—let me see; sure, that’s a jocular term applied to a drug store. Freshie—May I go to play now, ma? Mother—What, with those holes in your trousers? I-reshie—No, with the boy next door.
