JHKRK are few Institutions of
f learning In the state, or In the
VJ country for that matter, more
favorably spoken of than the
Wllllamsport Dickinson Semin
ary. Its graduates of whom there are
several In Scranton, cannot praise Its
system of instruction, Its high moral
training and home aspects too highly.
The Tribune was very much pleased
to be able to secure u scholarship In
the seminary, to be offered as a special
reward to the contestants In Its Kduoa
tlonal Contest, and this morning gives
a detailed description of the many ad
vantages of the institution. This de
scription will be of interest not only
to the contestants, but to all young gen
tlemen and ladles and their parents
who are contemplating advanced edu
cations. The opportunities offered through
The Tribune's great Educational Con
test for higher education are many,
and with thirty-three scholarships of
fered there is no excuse for any am
bitious young person going without a
valuable reward for the work, of a few
months. There are a number of Inac
tive contestants In the list, and a boy
or girl beginning today can easily se
cure a scholarship.
WILLI&MSPORT DICKIN
SON SEMINARY.
General Information.
THK Wllllamsport Dickinson Semin
ary Is an institution of high
grade, with ample facilities for
giving young ladies and gentlemen a
superior education. It Is organized
upon the plans which have been ap
proved by Jong experience and adopted
by the best schools In this country, em
bracing all modern appliances In
means and methods of instruction. It
was founded in 1848 and is regularly
chartered by the legislature of the
State of Pennsylvania, and authorized
to confer degrees upon those who com
plete the prescribed courses of study.
The Seminary Is under the patronage
of the Central Pennsylvania Confer
ence, being owned and practically man
aged by the Preachers' Aid Society.
As this Investment was rather to. pro
mote the Important work of higher
Christian education than to make
money, the paramount purpose is to
combine thorough instruction and care
ful moral training with the comforts
of a good home, at the lowest possible
rates.
The Location.
Wllllamsport Is one of the most beau
tiful and healthful places In the State.
It has never been subject to epidemics
of any kind. Many coming to the
school In poor health have returned
fully restored. The city is situated on
the west branch of the Susquehanna
river, has a population of 35,000, Is
widely known for Its intelligence, Its
enterprise, the taste displayed In the
character of Ita public buildings and
private residences and the moral np-
Ipllanccs with which It Is furnished.
In small towns and villages the foctll-
Ules for culture Intellectual as well as
esthetic and moral are generally llm-
led, rarely reaching beyond the Instl
iitlon Itself, and hence student life
riust become monotonous, lacking the
llVpiratlou which a larger place with
wler opportunities affords. Forty
(.lurches, an active temperance or
gauzatiuii, and branches of the Young
Mel's and Young Women's Christian
Associations, embracing muny of the
most earnest, Christians In the com
niunW, with a largo library, free to
all, aid accessible at all times, Indicate
somebf the social and religious ud
vantalnH accessible to the young peo
ple of wllllamsport.
The Buildings.

been taken for the health and con
venience of thu occupants.
Tho ladles' nparlmcnts are entirely
separate from the others, and there Is
no issoclntlou of the sexes hut In tho
presence of their Instructors. Tho
happy Influence, mutually exerted, In
their association In the recitation

exorcises In the chapel, Is to bo seen
In the cultivation of a cheeiful and ani
mated disposition, In tho formation of
good habits and manner!, In ardent
doAtlon to study and In the attain
ment of high moral character. These,
with many ntheV valuable results, have
established tin fact that the best plan
for a school is, according to the evi
dent design of Providence In the con
stitution of society, on the hauls of a
well-regulated Christian family.

Bradley Hall.
The new Music and Art building,
named for Hon. Thomas Bradley, of
Philadelphia, i,s an imposing structure
85 feet long, r,0 feet deep and four
stories high. In architectural design
and symbolic ornamentation it repre
sents a very high type of utility and
beauty.
This commodious building Is a part
of a long-cherished purpose lo provide
a. modern music and art conservatory
which. In equipment of space and ap
pliances, as well as in method of char
acter and work, shall meet tho increas
ing demands for wider opportunity and
broader culture in what iras come to
be esteemed an important factor in
higher education of young people. Tho
seminary offers advantages for the
study of music, vocal and instrumental,
which compare favorably with the best
music .schools In this country, with
the atmosphere of a high-toned liter
ary institution arrd the safeguard of a
refined Christian homo.
The directors and assistant te.iohciH
have studied abroad as well as in the I
best schools in this country, and arc i
thoroughly conversant with the latest
and best methods of Instruction.
AVhile chiefly devoted to the study of
music and art, provlt-lon Is made In

Mrs, Helen Fcrgumn Tustln, an
alumnao of the Institution, has erected
and furnished for tho use of the young
ladles a veiy Hun doublet bowling ulloy.
This generous recognition of the value
of exhilarating oxerclho Is highly ap
preciated, as It largely adds both to
health and enjoyment.
Physical Culture.
The vuliio of physical culture Is ioc
ogulzed. A large campus, with run
ning track, bll and lawn tennis
grounds for the gentlemen and lawn
tennis courts for the ladles, furnishes
stimulus and opportunity for outdoor
athletic sports, v

Notwithstanding tho fact that a num
ber of the leaders in The Tribune's Edu
cational Contest ' scored points yester
day, there was not a single change in
position. The nearest to It was In the
case of Charles W. Dorsey, who is tied
this morning with John Mackle, of
Providence, for twenty-fifth place,
Charles Burns is this morning 63
points ahead of A. J. Kcllerman for the
premiership of the entire column of en
ergetic young men and women.
William T. S. Rodriguez also gained
on Kellerman and is threatening the
lntter's bold on second place.
Herbert Thompson moved further
ahead of Fred Gunster, but holds fourth
place only by the grace of 5 points.
There arc no less than eight ties In
tho complete list of forty-three contest
ants who have thus far scored points.
On Monday morning the entire list will
be published, shojylng what has been
accomplished thus far by The Tribune's
staff of energetic, ambitious workers.
On Monday afternoon, June 30, nt 5
o'clock, the competition for the two
"Special Honor leewards" will close.
This competition has been open to each
contestant, regardless of when they be
gan work. It was to stimulate those
low down on the list that the "Special
Honor Rewards" were planned. Each
month of the Educational Contest a
minor contest is also conducted, com
mencing on the first day of the month
and closing on the last day of the
month. In this way a contestant who
has not been at work as long as the
rest, will be encouraged to put forth
his utmost exertions, so as to win a
special prize.
For the best work done during the
month of Alay a gold watch was offered
as arr Inducement and It was won by
Charles Burns, of Vandling. For the
month of June there are two special re
wards, tho first one to be $10 in gold
and tho second $3 In gold. In July an
entirely different prize will be given to
the contestant who brings In the largest
number of points during that month.
The nature of this special reward will
bo announced In next Tuesday's Tri
bune. Any one can enter and try tor
this prize, even if they have not yet
scored a point.
The entry list Is by no means full and
there is plenty of time for any one to
catch up with tho leadcts and win a
scholarship wortb hundreds of dollars
for a few months' work. A contestant
beginning today with five yearly sub
scribers, counting CO points, would be in
eleventh place and If the panic position
was maintained until the close of thn
contest would be entitled to a scholar
ship worth $400, having earned more
than $100 a mouth.
The following six young men have
scored the largest number of points bo
far In June:
