EDITOR'S TABLE.

"Turn about is fair play"—

In looking over the "News" for January the Saint finds many things to criticise.

If he were to pass a general criticism he would say that the "News" was not in danger of being struck by the moon. Indeed, he could wish that there was a little better chance of this happening. The contributors show a most scrupulous disregard for anything either interesting or modern, and are as careful in avoiding new titles for their articles as they are in avoiding new subjects. In short, the Saint is strongly tempted to call them "hide-bound." In the matter of proportion they also seem wofully lacking—such a subject as the "Lit. Essay" going in as a "log," while the American School at Athens or the Teachers Convention is deemed worthy of two columns and a double headline. However, this last may not be entirely the fault of the contributors, for such work of the editors as the public is allowed to see is not above criticism.

In the first place, in speaking to the august body of editors, the Saint would suggest that they follow the very excellent example set by the editors of the LIT. in regard to editorials—namely, that they do not write one when they have nothing to say. Again, that when they write an editorial calling particular attention to a piece of news "printed in another column," they see that that column gets in. This is, of course, a minor point, but when the "News" promises to print a complete list of the contributions to the LIT. from 1900, the editors of the latter paper wish that it would print it, as they find it no small bother to make out that list for themselves. The Saint would also suggest that an editorial on such a vital matter as giving the "Y" to the golf team should be written by a man who, after having stated all the arguments for and against it, could express his own opinion on the matter. However, this doubtless only shows the remarkable self-restraint of the editors, and, after all, another editorial on the same subject a few days later made the matter all right.

In conclusion, the Saint has the following suggestions: that the contributors read the old volumes of the "News" less, and watch what goes on in the college more; and that the editors put the "Yale Log" on the front page and fill the rest of the paper with "ads"-it will make quite as valuable a newspaper and will give the editors more pocket money.
