ST. JOHN'S FINE MAGAZINE

We have just had the pleasure OF
looking over the professional Num-
ber" of the WINDMILL, monthly
magazine issued by the celebrated st.
Johns School, Manlius N. Y. This
beautiful copy is printed on enamel
book paper with cover design IN
colors by Harrison Fisher, and filled
with cartoon drawings and sketches
by So of the most renowned artists
and cartoonists in the United States,
al of which were drawn especially
for and presented TO the Windmill.
A school capable of receiving such
complimentary evidences of appre-
ciation and esteem from this distin-
guished array of talent, must be most
meritorious. ST. Johns ranks first
on the list of honor schools with the
War Department having held this po-
sition for some five years past.
Cadet John H. Wagner has been at
tending this school for the past year
and now entering on his second year
there, asserts most emphatically that
