A BRIGHT YOUNG RIVAL.
Interesting Features of the High
School REGISTER for ptember.

School Register Tor September.
The BEE is in receipt of the September
issue of its very charming contemporary the
High School Register. 1t is neatly printed
in magazine form with cover of artistic de-
sign. Although neither large nor preten-
tious it has the full equipment OF a metropol
ltan journal. Indeed in the matter of man.
aging editors it goes its metropolitan rivals
one better, having two incumbents of that
reponsible position--Mr. f. b. Harris and
MIR. G. b. Haynes, both of the class of go.
Miss Etbelwynne Kennedy occupies the
chair of associate editor, while Carlisle Row.
ley presides at the news EDITORS desk and
Wallace Taylor looks after the department Of
sports. The Register doesn't declare its po-
sition in set words, but it is reasonable to in
fer from the honest and ingenious tone which
characterizes its utterances on other sub
jects that such sports as it patronizes must
be legitimate and that nippodromes and
fakes don't ''go."
Realizing the necessity Of a large and sub.
stanta. circulation in establishing a success.
full journal the Register gets to business at
once in the following style:
'If you like the Register, show your appre-
cation by subscribing Immediately. With
the subscription list the publishers now lave,
Although we have not had time to work on
subscription, and although many will come
in during the year, we are in need OF q great
many new ones right off. We are trying to
give you good paper, but we can't run it on
wind. We will be in the ninth, tenth and
eleventh grades soliciting this week, so make
up your minds to subscribe, and we will see
that you get all you pay for"
Naturally many of the editorials are Of a
didactic nature. For instance:
"You can either decide to get your lessons
at all hazards and stick to it, or you may
agree to let her glide and trust 10 the gods
and luck to get through"
''By all means, study page 81 OF your alge-
bra as though your deliverance from hades
depended upon it-ior itdoes. Miss page 81,
and you will some day be banlshed to that
modern hades, the seventh hour, to atone
for your negligence"
"Remember you are High Schooler, and
no longer kid"
To the Philistine "the seventh hour'' con-
veys little meaning, but to the initiated ITS
terrors doubtless justify the strong simile
employed
AT the risk of violating the copyright law,
which the reader is duly notified protects the
following pertinent bits of advice, THE BEE
reprints them:
Don't be sponge and soak all the news
from your neighbours Register
Don't sit IN your seat and say that our
news is all stale Go to work ana write
something spicy and hand it to one of the
editors
Don't forget to hand in your subscription
just because your paper is continued on your
promise. A paper cannot be run without
money!
The department Of the boom editor is well
looked after Here are some specimens of
his handiwork:
