TWO SCRANTON Tit I HUN' 10 will
Inaugurate Its second annual
Kl'aiul IOduriitlntinl Ponlrst In it
few days, which, like the lirMt,
will be cipen to every ambitious
person, not only in Srruuton, but
throughout Liickiiwnnnii anil other
counties In Northeastern Pennsyl
vania. This nl ueatlonal Contest will
be even greater In magnitude than Its
predecessor, embracing special rewards
of the very highest eljitrncter. It will
be carried out in strict accordance
with the rules of fairness and justice.
The first contest, which occupied the
attention of our rendes from July to
October of last year, met with such
riieourngcnimit and was so successful
In every way that It has been decided
to repeat it. The Tribune will there
fore once more lay before the ambi
tious and thoughtful young men and
women of tills city and vicinity a pro
ject by which they can realize their
desires to attain a first-class education
In institutions that are among the
foremost lu their several branches of
Instruction.
All the Rewards Are Scholarships.
.Stimulated by the great success of
Its initial Kdiicntionnl Contest and be
lieving that there tire many who real
ized its great advantages when it was
too late, hi addition to a large number
of new members of the community
who would eagerly take hold of the
project now. The Tribune, in a few
days, will begin another contest, In
accord with the progressive spirit of
the Twentieth Century, holding out for
an incentive special rewards of an
even higher grade than were offered
last year. These rewards will all bo
scholarships In the very best educa
tional Institutions in the state.
Pnlikc all other plans that have been
furthered by newspapers in order to
increase their circulation, there will
be, as was the case last year, a com
pensation for eaeli participant, and
those who are not successrul In getting
one of the great special rewards will
he suitably remunerated for their in
terest and endeavor to help themselves
In a manner that cannot fail to prove
satisfactory in fact, it lias stood the
test of a trial.
Truly an ''Educational" Contest.
There will be two collegiate, one
normal school, three business college
and two musical conservatory rewards
to choose from, thus making the title
if the undertaking, "lOduciitinniil Con
test" valid In every sense, Lnut year
the rewards were divided, five being
scholarships and live selected from the
stocks of Scranton merchants. At the
close of the contest each of the llrst
ten .successful participants evinced
such a decided preference for n schol
arship, and regarded the other rewards
with so much less favor, that It was
then decided that If another con'est
was held all the rewards should bo of
an educational nature.
Last year's Kducatlonal Contest was
liegin without any prefatory an
nouncements, and It wrr several weeks
before the general public realized fully
the nnture and scope of the undertak
ing. Many schemes and ideas for in
creasing circulation hail previously
been used by Scruuton newspapers,
and The Tribune's Kducatlonal Con
test was" at llrst erroneously confound
ed wltli them. As soon, however, its .
was perceived that the Educational
Contest was something new, and was a
liberal, legitimate business proposi
tion, without any lottery features, In
dependent of favoritism in any way
and Incapable of being distorted Into a
mere scranibla for coupons cut from
the paper, that portion of the public
for whom the proposition was intended
took hold of It in grim earnest, and the
success of the llrst Educational Con
test was assured.
All Promises Kept.
The Educational Contest soon to be
gin will depend upon the oarnest, am
bitious, nsplting young men and
women of Lackawanna and surround
ing counties for Its success. There nro
enough of these in this section to In
sure the success of a project much less
helpful than this contest will be, With
tho indorsement of last year's Buccess
Btlll fresh lu the minds of The
Tribune's patrons and with the pleas
ant memory of huvlnjr kept ull its
promises and in no way disappointed
any one of the young workers who
participated In It, Tho Tribune may
look forward to as great a success, at
least, as was ealned then.
The rewards for this year's contest
have nil been selected, contracts with
the Institutions signed, and everything
Is nearly in readiness to begin. The
dates that have been chosen for com
mencing and closing thu contest will
bo announced shortly.
Two College Courses.
There will be two rewards this year
that are equally entitled to be classed
"llrst," as they are each of the same
value $1,000 Lafayette college and
Swarthmore college. Magnificent In
centives for three months' work, in
deed! Each Is world renowned us
ranking among tho highest instltu. J
tlons of learning lu the country.
Lnst year the first prise wits u four
years' scholarship at Wyoming .Semi
nary, It wits won by ChaVlcs Itod
rlguca, a Scrnnton boy. The second
prize was n three years' scholarship lu
the Bloomsburg Normal School, which
was secured by Arthur Kemmcrcr of
Knctoryvllle.
IJesldos these two great college
scholarships, there will be offered a
three-year course in the Stroudsburg
Normal School, with all expenses pnld;
three scholarships In the Scranton
Iiuslness College, the winners to have
the choice of'clther the commercial or
stenographic courses, tho scholarships
being unlimited (good until proficiency
is attained): and two scholarships In
the Scrnnton Conservatory of Music
making a list of eight special rewards
of n total cash value of over three
thousand dollars.
"A Fair Field and No Favor."
As was the case last year, no restric
tions whatever will be placed In the
way of any contestant who tries to ob
tain one of these scholarships, except
ing, of course, that the printed rules
of the contest must be lived up to by
till. "A fair field and no favor" will bo
tho motto of the enterprise from be
ginning to end.
Any inquiries lu regard to this con
test must bo sent by mail, until uftcr
Its opening, In order to avoid confu
sion. Full detnlls, with the rules of
the contest, will bo given in a few
days.
The object of The Tribune In pro
moting this enterprise for a second
time Is three-fold. First, It alms to
largely increase its circulation during
the next few months In the city of
Scranton and also in the surrounding
boroughs and townships, especially In
Northeastern Pennsylvania, which it
regards as its Held for future effort, In
view of Scranton being the metropolis
and business centre of a territory
many miles in radius. Its second ob
ject Is the meritorious one of placing
within the reach of ambitious young
men and women a thorough and prac
tical education. Thirdly, there are
many bright, sturdy workers in this
section of the state who regret keenly
their failure to take hold of the oppor
tunity last year, and who, we feel sure,
would lejoice at another chance to
demonstrate that they are willing to
work for their own material advance
ment. Eight Scholarships.
To fully cover all three of these
points it has been decided to givo
scholarships in the best colleges in the
state, covering classical, commercial
and musical instruction, and with that
end In view The Tribune has made
contracts with Swarthmore College,
Lafayette College, Stroudsburg Nor
mal School, the Scranton Conservatory
of Music and the Scrnnton Business
College for full scholarships, as enum
erated below. It has been decided to
dispense with the other special re
wards, such as were offered last year
and enter exclusively to those who de
sire to improve their Intellects and
prepare to take their places In the fore
front of the world's battle lines.
There will be eight scholarships
placed within the reach of aspiring
young manhood and womanhood by
this means. These eight scholarships
cover a wide range of instruction,
from the classical curriculum of the
colleges to the commercial or stenog
raphic departments of the business
college and to the perfecting of bud
ding gonitis in harmony, melody and
music.
In addition to those eight great spe
cial rewards which will go to the eight
most successful contestants, every oth
er person who aspires to tUem, but
fails to be one of the eight fortunate
ones, will bo suitably rewarded for his
or her trouble in a manner explained
further on.
The Offer and the Object.
As stated above. The Tribune aims
to still further increase its already
large circulation during the next few
months. It Is the best and cleanest
paper published in Northeastern Penn
sylvania, and when It once finds Its
way Into a family Its merits will en
able It to remain permanently. In or
der to Introduce it we seek the co
operation of ambitious, Intelligent
young men and women, and to gain
their help will for a second time put
Into execution a plan that is bound to
appeal to this class of workers.
We nro going to give these eight
scholarships to the eight persons wlto
shall prove to be the most successful
in attaining points in our second Edu
cational Contest, lly scholarships we
mean a full course of study, paying
the tuition charges In each and In tho
case of the three leading scholarships,
Tho Tribune will not only pay all tui
tion charges, but will ulso pay the room
rent, light, heat, and all other college
charges, except that the llrst two do
not Include meals.
The Special Rewards.
1 A full scholarship nt Swarthmore
College, Swarthmore, Ia consisting of
n. four years' course in either Letters,
Science, Engineering ur Art, with tui
tion fees and all other expenses ex
copt meals absolutely free to the stu
dent during his term of attendance
nt the school. This college was
founded In 1S61 through the efforts
of members of tho religious society of
Friends for the purpose of securing to
tho young people of the society the op
portunlty for higher education under
the guarded care- of their own religious
faith. Others are admitted upon the
sumo terms ns Friends and nothing of
a sectarian nature uppears In the In
struction or In the management. The
Intention of tho founders, however, to
make the promotion of Christian char
acter tho first consideration, while at
the samo tlmo providing opportunities
for liberal culture and maintaining a
high standard of scholarship, has been
steadily kept In view, it has a large
and Increasing faculty, and Its lectur
era are from the best college and busi
ness Institutions In tho United States.
The value of this reward Is 11,000.
2 A scholarship In Lafayetto Col
lege, at Easton, I'a under tho samo
conditions as above. This college Is
well and favorably known all over
the United States, and It has gradu
ated many foreign students who
have come to this country to finish
their education. It would bo super
fluous to add words of prulue In de
scribing Its standing In the rank of
educational Institutions. The student
who goes there as u result of his suc
cess in working for The Tribune will
have an opportunity that Is not likely
to occur again In a life-time. Tn

bel French, of Boston, a pianist of ex
ceptional ability and a member of the
Faelten Pianoforte School of .Boston,
who gave such great satisfaction last
year, will again be a member of the
faculty. If the winner of this scholar
ship should not be sttfllclently advanced
to tako this particular course, arrange
ment have been made whereby Instruc
tion to the value of ?7i" can be taken In
some othor course. Value of this
scholarship, $7,.
5 A full year's course In the Scran
ton Conservatory of Music, with the
same privileges and benefits as schol
arship No. 4.
fi A full scholarship in the Scran
ton Business college either tho com
mercial or shorthand courses. This
scholarship Is for unlimited time'
and Is identical with special reward
No. 5 of lust year, which was won by
Eugene Behind, of Dunmore, who Is
now a student at the business college.

time and the winner may continue his

manship, practical grammer, capital

spondence, filing letters, spelling and
press copying. This course is the same

which was won by Oliver Callahan, of
415 Vine street, Scranton, who is now
a student at the Business college. The
value of this scholarship is $60.
7 and S These rewards are the same
as the one last described, the winners
having the choice of either commercial
or shorthand courses.
Every Contestant to Be Paid.
Tn addition to the above eight schol
arships and in order to compensate all
who may enter upon this work and not
be successful in obtaining one of the
first eight special rewards. The Trib
une will pay every one who succeeds
In obtaining subscribers under the con
dition of this Educational Contest ton
(10) per cent, of all the money from
subscriptions they may succeed in ob
taining for it. This extra inducement
Is intended to satisfy and pay all who
work for us. as The Tribune does not
expect nny one to work for its benefit
without remuneration. We feel confi
dent that this will meet the views of
all fair-minded persons and each con
testant will in this way come in for a
share of the benefits, even if not in the
list of the llrst eight workers.
Not a Gift Enterprise.
The Tribune wishes to emphasize
the fact that this Is In no sense a gift
enterprise or a scheme to swell its
circulation list nt the expense of out
siders. Tills was fully demonstrated
last year, when at the close of the
first educational contest every prom
ise that had been made was fully kept,
and every special reward was deliv
ered to the one who bad won It with
in a few days after the close of
the contest. Those who did not fin
ish better than eleventh received
cheeks for ten per cent, of the total
amount of subscriptions they had ob
tained within the same tlmo. This
year we make the same bonatlde busi
ness proposition. It Is conceived in a.
spirit of fairness and it will be cur
ried out with equity and Justce to all.
Every young man and woman who
participates will receive a share, of tho
proceeds, even If successful only to
the extent of securing but one sub
scription. The Tribune takes this way of secur
ing new subscribers lu lieu of the old
fashioned way of employing regular
canvassers and solicitors. Neither the
quality of the paper nor Its price has
been cheapened In any way. We will
continue to chnrge the same rate for
subscriptions during the course of this
Educational Contest as wo have In tho
past. The special rewards will repre
sent compensation for services per
formed and those who can show the
best results for their work will, of
course, be entitled to the most pay.
An Unusual Opportunity.
This will be a grand opportunity for
aspiring young men and womon who
are ambitious to he bettor equipped
to light life's battles, it was with tho
laudable aim In view of encouraging
this sturdy class of American youth
that the eight great scholarships huvo
been selected, covering, us they do,
tho widest rnngo of study and appeal
ing, us they must, to the very desir
able and conscientious student wo
mean to Interest In this worthy pro
ject. There Is not the slightest ques
tion of tho great possibilities that tho
future may have In store for the suc
cessful ones in this campaign. Dur
ing tho summer vacation this will bo
an opportunity for these students to
earn a right to nn advantage they
would not otherwise secure, and tho
benefits which the successful competi
tors will receive are beyond calcula
tion or enumeration,
No Coupon Scheme.
There Is no voting for the most pop
ular teacher or scholar or any other
person. No coupons will bo printed
lu The Tribune for contestants or their
friends to cull from waste heaps or to
givo rise to suspicious of exjra edi
tions to be bought up at the last min
ute by a contestant with a larger
amount of money than others. The
Educational Contest will start fair and
will remain fair until It Is over. It
will be a Just and generous rewurd
of merit for those who bestir them
selves, and tho ones who strlvo with
the greatest ardor will be the ones to
reap the greatest good.

Concentration of Effort
That's what has made our Ready-to-Wear clothes
system appreciated by men who always had their
clothes made to order. The distinctive style is but one
item that helps to maintain this thriving business. We see
that the cutting is right up to the standard of the latest fash
ion plate, and much thought is given to the tailoring so that the
constitution of every garment will withstand, that which is ex
pected. Such is not the case with most clothing whether it is
ready-made or made-to-order.
Boys' Novelties
Boys' Blouse or

certainly the popular
style for the little
fellows this season.
We are showing a

Every garment

on our part that gives
you clothes that are

rewards for tho eight highest com
petitors three are in institutions out
side of Scranton and live In our local
college and conservatory. The regret
mnnlfested by the contestants last
year that there were not more schol
arships offered led The Tribune to
make contracts this year for an addi
tional scholarship in the Scrnnton
Business college and also one more In
the Scranton Conservatory of Music.
There are three therefore offered tills
year in the Ilusiness college, mid the
winners of each of them will have it
choice of cither the commercial or
stenographic courses. There are two
scholarships In the Scranton Conser
vatory of Music, equal in value, and
each covering the same course of in
struction In piano playing, or Us
equivalent In value.
Valuable Rewards Selected.
Tho aim lias been steadily kept In
view to give good rewards that will he
of lasting benefit. They are all of an
educational nature, and the young man
or woman who is successful In earning
any one of the night scholarships will
have just cause for elation, for inde
pendent of thu feeling of victory worth
ily engaged In by those who prove to
be the winners in a competition so
great and so widely and favorably
known ns the Scranton Tribune's Edu
cation Contents are now, the substan
tial fruits of tho victors will !.- well
worth garnering.
The results of these few months of
earnest effort will bo life-long, and
any one nf the eight scholarship re
wards will confer upon Its winner an
advantage that possibly would not oth
erwise he within nls reach.
The date f.ot for the formal opening
of The Tribune's second Kducatlonal
Contest will De announced within a
