SPECIAL
REWARDS
IN
The Tribune's Educational Contest
HE SCRANTON TRIBUNE in inaugurating its second Educational' Contest has surpassed all
its previous offers in the rewards that have been chosen. The young man or woman who
succeeds in earning one of the scholarships offered this year will receive a greater reward
for the labor of a few weeks than it would be possible to secure in any other way. There are eight
scholarships and even if unsuccessful in securing one of them, 10 per cent, of all the money secured will
be returned. It is only those who get discouraged and lack ambition to continue, however, that fail in a
contest of this kind.
The Special Rewards,
Rules of the Contest
The special rewards will be given to the
persons securing the largest number of points.
Points will be credited to contestants
securing new subscribers to The Scranton
Tribune as follows :

Three Honths' Subscription 1.25 3
Six rionths' Subscription... . 2.50 6
One Year's Subscription 5.00 12
The contestant with the highest number
of points will be given a choice from the list
of special rewards; the contestant with the
second highest number of points will be given
a choice of the remaining rewards, and so on
through the list.
Each contestant failing to secure a special
reward, and also those who select the first
two scholarships, will be given ten per cent.
of all the money he or she turns in.
All subscriptions must be paid in advance.
Only new subscribers will be counted.
Renewals by persons whose names were
on our subscription list prior to May 13, will
not be credited. The Tribune will investigate
each subscription and if found irregular in
any way reserves the right to reject it.
No transfer can be made after credit has
once been given.
All subscriptions, and the cash to pay for
same, must be handed in at The Tribune
office within the week in which they are se
cured, so that papers may be sent to the
subscribers at once.

which can be secured at The Tribune office,
or will be sent by mail.

Each contestant failing to secure one of these special rewards
will be given ten (10) per cent of all the money he or she turns in.
N. B. The first two scholarships do not include meals, but the contestants secur
ing these will be given ten (10) per cent, of the money he or she turns in to The Tribune,
to assist in paying this expense.
Here is an opportunity for some ambitious young people to"
earn the best college education without a great amount of effort,
and it is an opportunity that may never be repeated. The Tribune
may find the returns much less than the expense and would then
be unable to again make such generous offers. Such a condition
will be The Tribune's loss and the contestants' gain.
There are many young men, and young women too, who
would be glad of an opportunity to "work their way through col
lege," in fact, the presidents of these institutions are almost
deluged with applications for chances of this kind. Here the work
for an entire course of four years can all be accomplished in three
short months, and an education that would cost in cash $1,000 is
assured without further outlay. Parents should urge their boys
and girls to enter the contest and work for one of the special
rewards. One of the eight is within the reach of everyone who
really tries.
Send a letter to The Tribune for full particulars, including handsomely illustrated booklet. Address,
