T h is is quite a respectable age for a school pu b licatio n and in that period T h e A m erican has noted m any changes in and out of the service. Some of these changes have had a direct te a rin g upon th is p u b licatio n , th e resu lt of o u r own in itiatio n , w hile o th er changes have been w ro u g h t in spite of us. W h eth er all of these changes have had the desired effect we will not say. but th is we do affirm: T h a t in every event th ere has been in evi dence an earn est desire to do w hat was best. T he A m erican com es o u t th is issue as a w eekly. It is deem ed foi the best interests of the stu d en t body and those connected w ith th esch o o l th at c u rre n t events at Chem aw a be published at sh o rter intervals th an is afforded by a m o n th ly pu b licatio n . T h e m agazine, as published d u rin g the past four years, proved m ost in terestin g and m ain tain ed a h igh standard for the school. W e do not in ten d to abandon our m agazine and every effort will be m ade to con tin u e the p u b lica tion, but it will be issued at less freq u en t in terv als and perhaps should be considered a q u arte rly . It is our aim to have th e first issue out about C hristm as. W e feel certain th a t th is arran g em en t will be the most satisfactory for our readers and ourselves th a t has yet been adopted at th is school so far as its paper and m agazine are concerned.
