Description: 108THE NORMAL ADVANCEfriendly enemies across the way, the Rose Poly¬
technic students. The Technic is a well or¬
ganized paper, representative of the school, both
in its work and in its play. Perhaps it would not
appeal to the average reader, because of its purely
technical nature, but we take it that a student
publication is intended primarily to meet the
needs of the student body and this we feel sure
the Technic does.We are glad to see that out over the state of
Indiana our juniors are doing excellent work.
There come to our desk six magazines, represent¬
ing six of our Hoosier high schools—the X-Ray,
from Anderson High School
the Press, from
Clinton
the Lincolnite, from the Lincoln High
School of Princeton
the Purple and Gold, from
Sullivan
the Survey, from Marion, and the
Informer, from the Geneva High School. We
are glad to express our heartiest approbation of
the things which these papers express, of the spirit
which they reveal. We need feel not fear but that
these young people who are to take up our work
when we must leave it, will be able to carry it on
successfully.From Indianapolis comes the Indianapolis
Medical Journal, containing a wealth of worth¬
while information on subjects of vital interest to
all who follow the development of the human
mind in the field of science. Especially interest¬
ing to us, as present and future teachers, is the
Teachers Journal, published at Marion. It is
best described in the words of its own sub-title, a
practical educational periodical for progressive
teachers. Our brothers at Danville send us the
Central Normal College Booster with graphic
and interesting accounts of their social and intel¬
lectual activities.But we need not remain in the confines of our
own state. From the south comes the Student
of the Eastern Kentucky State Normal, an en¬thusiastic, alive paper, affording both interesting
and profitable reading. To the north we find other
friends. In Holland, Michigan, the students of
Hope College are giving vent to their literary gen¬
ius in the Anchor, which is among the most in¬
teresting of our exchanges. The State Normal at
LaCrosse, Wisconsin, puts out a paper, the Rac¬
quet, which gives us a glimpse of life in other
state normals than our own. From Wisconsin, too,
comes another paper which is of especial interest
to our German students, the M. H. Aerolith,
published by the Mission House College at Sheboy¬
gan. We would do well to follow its excellent ex¬
ample in German composition.Three states of the great West must be in¬
cluded in our list. Frorm Siloam Springs, Ar¬
kansas, we receive College Echoes, a little paper
but an interesting one, published by the students
of the Arkansas Conference College. The State
Normal School at Wayne, Nebraska, sends us the
Goldenrod, which gives us an excellent idea of
their school life, but would perhaps better repre¬
sent them if it were a little more literary. The
Lead High School of Lead, South Dakota, sends
the Nugget, which is truly a nugget, not of
lead but of gold, for it is an excellent paper.Last, but far from least, there comes to us
across the western seas, from that wonder world
which the Germans call the morning land, the
St. Johns Echo, published by the students of
St. Johns University, Shanghai, China. It is
one of our best and certainly one of our most in¬
teresting exchanges. We are glad to clasp hands
across the seas with these, our comrades in the
land of the rising sun.We have completed the circle, and are home
again, tired, perhaps, but certainly broadened by
this contact with the wide-awake young people of
the country. To all we offer our heartiest thanks
and our sincerest wishes for a prosperous year.
