Fifteen Weeks More Before the Close Room for a Few More Ac tive Workers Four Yearly Sub scribers, Counting 48 Points, Will Place a Beginner in Line for a Scholarship Valued at $200 or More. 5P"HIS morning The Tribune gives M a description of one ot the most 6j attractive scholarships among the thirty-three offcietl in Its Educational Contest. The New ton Collegiate Institute and Military Academy is one of the old and reliable educational Institutions of this part of the country, its history dating back nearly fifty years. The scholarship which The Tribune offers here is the only one In a military academy, and Is particularly attractive on that account. While it covers but two years of the course, as described in more detail be low, yet these two years will probably be all that any young man in The Tri bune's contest will require, as nearly if not all those who are working in the contest are qualified to enter the junior classes. Workers in The Tribune's contest should not lose sight of the fact that many of the scholarships offered in clude not only tuition, but also board, room, and all other charges of import ance. Advertisements offciing scholar ships are frequently seen, and scholar ships aro offered by nearly all of the large Institutions and to graduates of high schools, but these never cover more than the tuition, and frequently those offered In the higher Institutions of learning do not entirely cover that. And yet they are called scholarships. Men of means found "scholarships" ot $50 and $100 in Institutions whore the tuition charges alone may amount to $200 or more. The tuition charge is only one item of expense, and fre quently the smaller half of the cost. Offer Will Never Be Duplicated. Six of The Tribune's scholai ships, and those In the most desirable Insti tutions, include not only tuition, hut board, room, heat, light and washing, and several of the others cover addi tional Items beyond the cost of tuition. It is safe to say that fetich an offer was never before made, and The Tribune does not expect to ever again dupli cate it. It Is prepared to carry out the obligation it has made to the letter, but it Is evident from the scoies of some of the contestants that many of the valu able scholarships will go very cheaply. The contest has still fifteen weeks to run, and during that time any ically ambitious young person, boy or girl, has an opportunity to secuio an ad vanced education that will never come to them again. To Illustrate what Is within the reach of a contestant begin ning today, It may be stated that lour new subscribers, each agreeing to take The Tribune for a year, and paying the contestant $3, would count forty-eight points. These points would place a be Binner today in fourteenth place and in line for a seholnishlp valued at $:'00 or more. A few points more added each day and a contestant would gradually climb townid the top, whcio a first choice of the entire list would bo had.

NEWTON COLLEGIATE INSTITUTE AND MILITARY ACADEMY Newton, N. J, Location. Sussex and Warren counties, New Jersey, of which Nowton Is tho centre, comprising 900 square miles of terri tory, contain more natural beauty than Is usually given to half a dozen states, within (heir bounds they harbor an even half hundred 'lakes, from the glim mering surface of which Is rcllccted the beauty of surrounding mountains and woodlands. Together they have over itOO.000 acres ot virgin forests, top ping mountain ranges with an average elevation of more than n thousand feet. Many beautiful lakes characterize It as tho "Luke Country." In Sussex county alone He forty ot these charming bodies of water, among which are Swnrtswood, Culvers, Morris, Grlnncll, nnd Lake Hopoteong; nil of these nre near by nnd add to the beauty of tho scenery nnd source" of enjoyment. Sussex county Is a region ot virgin forest and mountain; nearly one-thlid of It Is In woodland Just as the Creator planned It. To the north and west lie the Hlue Uldge Mountains and to the south nnd east the Allamtichy and Sparta Mountains. These ranges vary In height from one thousand 'to two thousand feet. The railroad enters Newton by a heavy up-grade of several miles. From the depot to the village the ascent Is continuous, and on a high eminence overlooking the village nnd command ing a beautiful view of many miles of distant country, stands the Newton Col legiate Institute nnd Military Academy. Very few schools can compare with this In point of healthfulncss and natural beauty of location. The elevation Is over 800 feet above the level ot the sea and is eptclally fice from nil forms of maluria or pulmonary diseases. The location of the school grounds Is upon a beautiful plateau, comprising fifteen acres, giving ample room for recreation and enjoyment. Beautiful elms nnd maples add to tho natural bea'uty and charm of the surroundings. History. The school, known as the Newton Collegiate Institute, was organized In 18r4 and is now nonrlng the half-cen tury mark of successful operation. Its first name wus the Newton Fresbytcrlul Academy, but in 1S50 its name was changed by an act of the legislature to the name It now bears. Duilng these years it has devoted It self to the education of boys and young men, its i nil of graduates might well bo considered an enviable one, as many of them flguie prominently In society, in the field of Christian work. In the learned professions, and in public life. Design. The object is to provide a first-class school at moderate cost, where parents may feel safe In leaving their sons com mitted to Its care. It is not so largo but that each boy may leceive that personal supervision and care neces sary to the proper development, moral ly, mentally and physically. To that end, It Is under military organization, believing that it is the best means of Inculcating habits of attention, obedi ence and a correct and manly hearing. Tho formation of character, cultiva tion of truth and honor aie regarded as oven more Important than what may be learned from books. Whatever would tend to pioduce n broad, Intelli gent mind is here placed within reach, careful oversight in regard to physical culture, conscientious training In moi als and manners, as Roll as a thoiough drill in all tho details of u. finished aca demic education. The Preparatory Com so fits for all colleges and universities. The Business Course gives a thor ough training for active entrance In business life. The Junior Department covers pri mary and grammar grades and Is in tended to lay a thorough foundation for tho higher courses. Athletics, base ball, font ball, tennis and gymnasium work lecclvu their duo attention. Buildings. There aic three spacious and well constructed buildings connected with tho school, consisting of the school home the recitation hull, gymnasium and bowling alleys. There arc no doimltorles: pupils oc cupy single or double rooms, as may best suit their needs. Kaeh division is furnished with bath rooms, hot and cold water, and every necessary convenience to promote health and comfort. All rooms nnd halls are steam-heated new apparatus having been recently introduced. All boys occupy single beds, supplied with the best hair mattresses. Dennis Library and Reading Room. These are in the village and only a few minutes' walk from the Institute. The library contains several thousand volumes of choice books. The reading room Is furnished with the city and other dally papers, together with weeklies and the lending periodicals. Tho leading room is free to all and tho use of the library may bo obtained for a small sum. One important advantage to tho Institute Is that free tickets to this library aro given to those students who distinguish themselves for scholar ship, conect deportment or for excel lent attainment in any branch of study., it nlfords abundant study, free ot ex-' pense, and at the same time stimulates all to compote for this privilege. Study. All school work and study are per formed under tho watchful euro of teachers. On Saturday there Is no school work, Unless pupils have been deficient dining tho week. In this case Saturday, to such, as far as need be, Is devoted to school work. In the even ing pupils nssemblc to prepare their lessons for the next day. A teacher Is always In charge to assist when occa sion requires. Discipline. The discipline Is kind but firm. Tho aim Is not large In numbers, but care ful In composition, The clone contuet of teachers with pupils makes possible a careful oversight of both manucis and morals, truthfulness, a right sense ot honor, and nn Interest In the purity of the moral atmosphere of the school. Students whose Influence Is felt to bo Injurious to good scholarship or good morals will be removed from the school. Tobacco In any form Is absolutely prohibited, and neither teachers nor pupils engage In this harmful practice. Care of Rooms and Orderly Habits. It Is icgarded as a mntter ot prime Importance thut boys have Inculcated In them correct habits, and to this end special personal attention Is given. All nre required to keep themselves tidy and to have their rooms at all times In order. Kacli morning rooms are In spected by a teacher, In addition to a personal Inspection of each student bc foie breakfast. Moral and Religious Life. The contact of teacher and pupil Is so Intimate and constant that their weak as well as strong qualities aie easily ascertained. It is tho earnest effort of the school ilo develop nnd strengthen the character of tho boys committed to Its care. The school la non-sectniian, the re ligious aim being to maintain at least the ordinary moral and religious oul tuie of a Christian home. All boys at tend church with tho faculty In tho morning. In the afternoon they nil at tend Sunday school at such church as may be designated. The teachers nre all thoroughly Christian, who seek in every way to exercise an Influence for good over tho boys. Care of Health, Table, Etc. It is believed that the health of every student Is of prime Importance, and svWrvl$&K3Hiltw '.&&' v -r9p&ar: ??. .:f ' .tt. r;-v;:. . . ,:-s-..-:'m&ijSi:'""v???-Tz-i' the old motto, "Mens satin In corpoie sane" Is constantly bcfoic them. To this end rcgulaiity of habits, cleanli ness and neatness In personal appe.ir aiiic aie most strongly insisted upon. During the past year there was not a single case of sickness sufficient to lcqulrc the services of a physician. The table is supplied with the bust that the markets afford. The school has its own gardens, from which nre supplied all vegetables used for the table. Special attention Is paid to the man ners of the boys In the dining room. They aro seated at small tables, and a teacher is in charge of each table, who sees that gentlemanly conduct and car riage arc maintained, at the same time allowing tho utmost freedom In conver sation consistent with good bleeding. Water Supply and Drainage. The water supply comes from a spiiug-fed mountain lake, and for Its purity and wholesomeness is admitted to be the beat In tho state. Tho supply Is unlimited and is used for all pui posos. The plumbing nnd drainage are per fect; no malignant disease ca"n bo con tiactcd from defect In this respect.

None of these (athletic) exercises or sports is, however, a substitute for military drill; and some of them create a now need for it. A military drill develops the whole man, head, chest, arms and legs, proportionately; and so promotes symmetry and corrects the excesses of other forms of exercise. It teaches quickness of eye and car, hand and toot; qunllfies men to step and act in unison; teaches subordination, and, btst of all. qualifies a man to serve his country.
