Monthly Periodical?

Should the High School Support a
Monthly Periodical?
In the opinion of many, what We now
need in our high school is monthly
news review. At present we have as
much room as we can use in the Ar
gus, and We usually fill from one and
half to two columns. This is one
step towards a paper of our own, for
we are receiving here much valuable
practice. 1t would not be difficult
to support such a paper. The Lewis
town people are generous patrons OF
our school, and not only would the
subscription list be large, but the adj
vertising would go far towards defray-
ing expenses, AS for material could
We not as easily write for monthly
paper as for weekly? Would it not
in fact, be economy OF time and effort
to concentrate all our energy upon
a monthly publication instead Of hav-
ing the ever present weekly bulletin
before us? People would be interest
Ell in reading such magazine, for it
would contain, besides school notes,
interesting stories, poems, up-to-date
articles and editorials 1t would also
be an effective means of advertising all
public games, and it would show peO-
pie that the Fergus County High
School was a live institution, here to
stay and bound TO make itself known.
The pupils would also become still
more interested in their writing. try
ing to make all their composition of
the best. for only the best would be
published. 1t is said that wishing sell
dom does good, but We shall keep on
wishing and hoping that in short time
we may be able to have a Monthly
High School Review.
