editors are colls idered , it is remarkable that they bave attained so fair a degree of success. No less noticeable is the rapidity with whicb the fever bas spread. They have sprung up like mushrooms in every State from Maine to California. until hardly n high school can be mentioned that does not bonst of its paper. The life of many of them, it is true, may be likened to that of the variety which springs up, flourishes and dies in a single day, and the value of SOUle that endure is hardly equal to that of a first rate puff-ball , and yet we will venture to say of such esses,

THE W T 1.

that the difficulty lies in the lili lure of their conductors to :tppreci:ttc the principles which lie nt the foundation of c \'cry college journal. To keep :l good scrap-book whose contents shull be limited to matters relating directly or indirectly to the co llege wOI'ld is :lpp:lrcnUy the so le rcason fo r the existence of the schoo l pnpc r. Nor arc we prepared to s.... y lhut , c \'cn if this we.re its o nly npology. it could not be proved sufficient, for nil coll ege institutions that 801''0'0 to bren k the monot.onolls routino of the class room arc \'alUtllJlc, and o f these it is mro that the pa pe r is uot co unted :llliong th e first. Aside from the principles of education, th e (bily life of tho student has for the limo be ing but little in common with the world ttt l:l f'1"~c. F or him ll111ny (IUcstions have Ii g rout importance and certnin matters nro of :\bsorbing interest with regard t.o whieh he seeks in vltin for real appreciation unless he fin ds it in the colleg e journal. In that the {IUestionH will he cliscusscd :Inti the 1U:ltW I'ij commented upo n by those who vie w thom from the same stand po int, and ns be rends his sense of isolntion is removed and a new force lont to lJt!'cubrthen the reaLity of life. Espccinlly in schoo ls and coll eges where tho compnrntivcly small num ber of students, 01' the amount of work required renders it impossible to curry on successfully many of the institution s whi ch RfO possible to Yale or U ll rvard, is the work of a journal in uniting the school vnlualJle. :For, whntcvcl' may he suid to the contmry, unity of work and of feeling cnn not be attained t hrough the influence of a learned fae-

ulty and n good curri culum alone. However deeply impressed we In"'y be with the thought that tbe first work must be in prepuralion for the future. we find o ur:;el"cs fa cc to fnec with today und must necessarily be actively engnged in its interests. In insuring thnt ull of these shall have :L defini te relat ion to the work for the future, t he Athlet ic Ilod the T ennis associations, th e foot-bull "ele ven " and the " nine" :trc doing :l good work , and to sustnin :lod emphas ize these l'e lntions , fOl1n s n legitimate field for the college paper . But behind these v:lri olls fun ctions. supporting them and in suring the ir fulfilm ent, there is the nohl er thought that n well conducted journal helps in It modest way to dhmove r the evils and t.o pl'otect nll thn! is excell ent in the pre..... vniling systems of cd ucntion , The school-Illnstcr of Dickens has lost his means of support nnd there hllve ari sen in his place men so truly lea rned as to appreciate their own limitntious 3.ud to recognize what expe rience Ims taug ht , thnt. to govern succcssfully e ither Illcn or boys you must give them a voice in aU matters directly concerning them, nod nt lenst lead them to believe they have some influence. The bond of union between the student and the professor often loses the clnss distinctions Imd appears in its true foml to unite two workers for :t common rosult--the experi enced and thc inexpel'ienced. But between the F aculty n.s a whole Imel Ole students aA a body there is alwllYs much difference of opinion and much mutunl misunderstanding . because of the iguornnce of one or of both parties of the renl motive that influences

THB W T I. tbe other. Does this not open nn important fiold for some power that can COUCelltmte the thought of ftt least ono of these patties Ilnd thus provent tho possibility of :l mistake nnd the too oflon di 8:\strous (:o nsequenccs? Is this not :~ mORt Illiluml fun ction of college jOlll"llaiislll ? Controlled n.'J n I'lI le so le ly lJy the ~tll颅 dents we e;m not pe rhaps argue thut the co llege p:lpOl' holds the sumo relative position in the school u.s the press occupies in the world at large, but it is slirely :l. step in the right direction unJ as 8U('h Illay hope to ,'ccc ive the approval ovon of thoire who muke the g l'Ciltcst sport of the ~ p:'''llIodi c cft(lItB of t.h e coll ege editor.
