20 THE ACORN its probable cost, the necessary equipments; learn how badly we need it, and its benefits, etc. Make the school first in your heart and it will be first in the hearts of the people. Remember this: We have obtained everything we have obtained everything we have gone after and now a gymnasium is the goal. THE CHAMPIONSHIP At last one of our fond dreams has been realized the league championship is ours. In spite of the fact that we have no gymnasium Coach Harker has so ably trained our boys that they finally left behind them their last contestant. The series of victories with but two defeats has given the Academy just title to the championship of the north division of the state and probably to the state championship. After outclassing the school for the deaf in the Academy hall and suffering defeat in their hall, we met them on neutral ground at the Salt Lake Y. M. C. A. Saturday, March 19th. Almost from the first toss-up it was clear that the Academy had the upper hand. Our boys did some excellent team work and basket throwing, making a score of 26 to 5 at the end of the first half. During the second half the mutes took courage and brought their score up to 22. The rooters grew somewhat anxious, but the game ended with the Academy well in the lead, 36 to 22. THE ACORN 21 The Student Lantern, Saginaw High School, Saginaw, Mich., one of our new exchanges, is very interesting. You have a good supply of poems and your jokes are new, but we suggest a few more stories. The Kinnikinnik, Colorado Springs, Colo., is a very neat paper and the editors deserve a great deal of credit. The description in "A Moonlight on the Rockies" is especially good. Although it is confined to literary work, there is "something doing" there. The addition of a few cuts, however, would greatly improve it. We suggest that the Amydaloid, Houghton, Mich., get more cuts and that the Crimson, Logan, Utah, get new ones. The Artisan, Boston, Mass., is to be commended on its very original exchange department. Eagle, Mexico, Mo., with twenty-eight pages of ads, can't you afford more reading material and at least a few cuts? The Cascillian, Ithaca, N. Y., is one of our best exchanges, but we suggest that you do as you advise others to do put more cartoons or illustrations in your paper. The exchange department in the Garnet and White, West Chester, Pa., is poor. We agree with you that it is a great task to properly criticise many papers, but that is no excuse for not commenting on any. Begin with a few.
