A study of these lists shows that there are a total of 97 difFerent periodicals subscribed for by the parents 'of the high school students and that the total number of subscriptions 'numbers only 393. j Deducting the sectarian, fraternal and those which might be classed as vocational and professional, the list shrinks to only twenty-two and the number of subscriptions to 98. A number of these are of doubtful value, while some of the better class have but very few subscribers. For example, the Saturday Evening Post has 6 subscribers, the Country Gentleman, B; the LiteraiVDigest, 5; the Youths' Companion, 5?^ the American, 3; the Review of Reviews, 2; Harper's, 1, and Leslie's, 3, while there are no subscriptions for the Independent, the Outlook, the World's Work, the Forum. the Mentor, the Century, Atlantic, Collier's, Scribner's and a lot of others that might be mentioned.
