Those we have, have been readvwith in- terest and we shall expect them to come again. We wish to congratulate Aroostook Central Insti- tute onthe Aroostookan. It is 'a bright and en- tertaining paper,iand contains some excellent ideas. Thef'Northern Light from Fort Fairfield High School, is a welcome paper. It has some interesting short stories, and also a fine article on shorthand. The Mirror from Patten Academy contains a good historical sketch of Patten. A The '4Pinnacle Erskinei Academy, South China, Maine, is a well-written' paper, but we are sorry to note the absence of an exchange column. Two good articles on composition Writing are found in the ?fBul1etin'lfrom Ashland High School. We see by the Alumni column in the '4Norm,ll that Presque Isle High School has kept Well in touch With its Alumni. A We have enjoyed reading HOak Leaves, published by the students of Oak Grove Seminary, Vassalboro, Maine. Its neat and attractive cover may be con- sidered a fair sample of the contents. The exchange editor may use his pen Till the ends of his fingers are sore, Yet some one is always sure to remark, HHOW stale! Welve heard that beforef'--EX. ,gmc S
