Say That It Stimulates a Desire for Advancement and the Opportuni ties Offered Should Find Plenty of Young People Eager to Grasp ThemWhile the Object Is a Busi ness One, It Is Eminently Prac tical and Helpful One Clergyman Who Has Had Experience with n Tribune Scholarship A Detailed List of Rewards Advantages of Enrolling Now. The Tribune's third Educational Con test Is rapidly nearlng the date of its formal opening. Only a little inoro than three weeks are now left before the first day. On Monday morning-, May B, It Is houcd that a number of zealous, ambitious young1 workers, of both sexes, will paler upon the con genial work of striving to win a foot hold upon the ladder of success. Those who enter this contest will find the work not only dignified, but pleas ant uiul easy, for, to paraphrase a well known saying, nil the world loves an ambitious young person who is eager to rise on his or hpr own merits, and the contestants will find hundreds only too glad to lend a hand in helping them to achieve their worthy desire for better education and the success which that means. At the same time It will test the mettle of those who enter the race and assure the selection of onlv the worthiest for' the honors that are to ue won. How Clergymen Regard It. Stimulated bv a desire to find out what the opinions of the leading clergy men of this city were In regard to the Educational Contest, a Tribune reporter yesterday Interviewed a number of them, without respect to their denomi national preferences. Of the clergymen seen there was not one but thought that The Tribune was doing a good thing for the community and that Its suc cesses in the past years in the contests had done much to elevate the literary aspirations of the young men and women, and even influence some who had not taken an active part as con testants by reason of the example set by those who hud. A few of the state ments made by the clergymen are ap pended. Heartiest Commendation. Rev. R. F. Y. Pierce, D. D., pastor of Penn Avenue Baptist church, spoke as follows concerning the lOducattoual Contest: "My attention has been frequently directed to the Educational Contest as planned by the Suranton Tribune, and If I understand the purposes of the con test and the methods employed, I de sire to give my heartiest commendation to the enterprise and my best wishes to the contestants. "The contest proposed is not simply a struggle for ambitious excellence in securing a larger number of subscribers for The Tribune than one's competitors, but it is a struggle for a prize honor an education, "A most commendable feature of this enterprise, and one which gives It added strength In the minds of all sen sible people, is thnt all who may secure subscriptions to the puper are paid fop their labors, a cash bonus on each sub scription. Those who excel receive the -greater reward, the scholarship in some well-known Musical, Commercial, Nor mal, or other educational institution. "No more practical or praiseworthy method could be devised by the man agement of our dally papers to Increase the popularity of their several journals and enlarge their subscription lists, than the profit-sharing and honor bearing plan of the Educational Con test. "The plan is mutually helpful; it is an educational impulse to place a clean daily paper In the homes of the people (and our Scranton dallies arc excep tionally free from scandals, retailed vice, and general "yellow journalism"). It affords any enterprising and ener getic person an opportunity to win a chance to gain one of tho highest earthly prizes an education. "I congratulate Mr. Byxbee, the busi ness nianuger of the paper, for the ex cellence of the plan which he has de vised; the fairness of the methods em ployed; the valuable prizes which he lias offered, and the business acumen In promoting such an enterprise, I trust there will be many young people who will strive to secure these choice gifts." Expensive, but Beneficial, Rev. Charles M, OKIln, pastor of the Elm Parle church, said: "While I am not entirely familiar with tho features of The Tribune's Edu cational Contest, still I feel that It can-, not but bo beneficial to the community hi Inspiring its younger members with u desire for higher education and fur nishing them n means to gratify the ambition. "While I cannot see how Tho Tribune can afford to enter Into these contests from a business standpoint, owing to the expense Involved, yet aside fiom that the project cannot fall to help tho paper and the young people who take advantage of it. The Idea has my hearty approval and I trust that It will be entirely successful," Enterprise Is Praiseworthy. Rev, James MeLeod, D, D pastor of the First Presbyterian church, on Wash ington avenue, when asked if, In his opinion, the Educational Contest con ducted by The Tribune, were conduc ive of good results to the community, said: 'you may quote me as saying that I think tho enterprise of The Tribune Is praiseworthy, Tho fact that it can find young people to take up this work shows two tilings: First, that those who take part In tho contests nre desir ous of obtaining a higher education; and, second, that they are willing to devote several months of their time In attaining that object, showing an am bition that Is to be praised, While tho object of The Tribune Is first a busi ness one, yet it takes a form that Is eminently practical and helpful, u s a legitimate help to youth, and as such the young men and the maidens who take advantage of It have nothing to lose and everything to gain, as Is shown by the results of your two previous contests, when a. distinct benellt was confeired on some of the young people of this city, The Idea has my warm approval." Speaks from Experience. Rev. Harris Lewis, the rabbi of the Renal Abraham and Jacob synagogue, on Penn avenue, near Mulberry street, was enthusiastic in his endorsement of The Tribune's Educational1 Contest. In part, he said; "I regard tho Tribune's Educational Contest as being of great benellt to the young people. Last yenr my son, Meyer, won a scholarship through your Educational Contest In tho East StroUdsburg Stiito Normal school, and he Is delighted with tho school and Its Instructors. He was homo last week to spend the Easter holidays, and so keen was his Interest In thevstudlcs he Is pursuing there that ho was In haste for the week to get over so that he 'might go back. Everything that The Tribune promised him has been given, and now for n. few months work he Is assured of a thorough education. I can commend Tho Tribune's enter prise as one entirely worthy, and T would not hesitate to urge any one of the younger members of my congre gation to take advantage of this year's offer. 1 will willingly testify to the beneficial nature of these contests to any one who, Is Interested." Simply Rewarding Industry. Rev. Luther Hess Waring, pastor of the Grace Lutheran Evangelical church, corner of Penn avenue and Mulberry street, said: "The Tribune's Educational Contest Is a most admirable scheme. Anything that elevates the literary standard of the community is to be commended, and this, from what I know of It, assuredly does elevate the minds and nsplrntlons of the young people. Tho principal feature of The Tribune's contests that pleases mo Is that one wherein while you are placing educational advantages In the younger people's way It Is In no sense an act of charity; but whatever advantages they derive from the con test, they have to work for. The Indus try you stimulate Is good for them physically as well as mentally, and you are giving tho young people an oppor tunity to develop their energies and resources. It Is, In my opinion, a high ly commendable enterprise, and one which I wish to heartily endorse. I am pleased to know that The Tribune has made a success of the former contests! and It has my hearty good wishes for the present one." Petersburg Should Be Represented. Rev. John Randolph, pastor of St. Peter's German Evangelical church, on Ash street and Prescott avenue, said: "I 'am gratified at tho fact that the young men and women of this city and surrounding towns are enabled to get a higher education in this way. The young people should avail themselves of this opportunity to equip themselves for the future. The excellent manage ment of these contests In the past Is a guarantee that this year's will be a success. It Is a highly laudable en terprise, and as such, the teachers In our schools should co-operate with you to make it a satisfactory test of the ambitions of their pupils. I should think that some of the young people of the Petersburg section of Scranton might try to benefit themselves through your contest." In No Sense a Charity. Rev. M. L. FIror, pastor of the Cal vary Reformed church, Monroe avenue, corner of Gibson street, said: "As far as I understand your Educa tional Contest, it is a good thing, and I believe that the young people who participate in it will benefit thereby. I think the idea of striving for an edu cation Is a fine thing; much finer than working for a mere money considera tion. The benellt that will undoubted ly come to those who are sent away to school through The Tribune can, of course, be obtained in no other way, and were I a young man, ambitious of obtaining a higher education, and with no other way In my power to gratify that ambition, I should halt the opportunity to earn my way through an enterprise like this. It is in no sense a charitable enterprise, as all who win their way must earn their way. I regret the fact that there are so few young persons in my church who are of an age to take advantage of this opportunity, and I sincerely wish that you will have the utmost success in your laudable undertaking." What the Scholarships Are. As It is possible that there are some readers of The Tribune who do not know what Is comprised in these offers, the complete list of scholarships, with their cash values, is ptintcd'thls morn ing. A number of them provide tui tion, board, furnished room, washtng, and other incidentals, while some pro vide for tuition alone.

The Twenty-one Republican Common Councllmen Will Run the Next Meeting of That Branch. It was slated yesterday that when the common council of the city of Scranton meets again to transact business the twenty-one Republican members will not allow a repetition of the opera bouffe performance which was witness ed on Thursday night when two chair men and two clerks acting at the same At the next meeting E. E. Itobathan, the regularly elected Republican chalr mann, will take the chair and If P. F. Calpln starts In to act as chairman he will be called to order. If he refuses to submit to Chairman Robathan he will be removed from the chairman's platform. The same will be pursued In regard to W. A. Lynott, who claims to be the clerk. As one of the Republican councllmen put it yesterday: "The situation is just thK We are twenty-one in number and we don't propose to let a minority of seventeen over-ride us and run things as they want them." It is intended to make Mr. Calpln take the initiative in bringing the mat ter to the attention of the court. Mr. Robathan said last night that he regretted as much as any person the trouble of Thursday night. "It was no fault of mine," he continued. "I called the meeting to order at the time specifi ed in the rules as was my duty as chairman of the body. It is the duty of Mr. Calpln to bring proceedings to prove his right to the chairmanship if he thinks he has any. It's certainly not my duty for my election was clear ly the only regular one that took place last Monday." $3,305 WAS REALIZED, Recent Charity Ball for Benefit of St. Joseph's Foundling Home Was a Big Financial Success.
