TIE TEACHERS CONTEST
Miss Hamill Still In the Lead
Miss MeNamara's Big
Vote.

The Teachers Popularity Contest is going
to prove one of the most successful contests
ever held in this city 1t viii, = present
signs are to be taken for anything, be far
ahead of the three previous contests of THE
NEWS. There is hardly a family in this city
and Hoboken who is not interested more or
less in some fair contestant. OF course, the
large circulation of The NEWS in the two
cities is responsible for this great interest.
The readers are interested in their favorite
paper, and having friend who is a school
teacher, will naturally cut the coupon for
her.
That teachers are popular with their pu-
pills is evident from the great number OF let
ters daily rec eived with the coupons. Every
teacher in the contest is a popular teacher in
her class room, and old pupils have remem-
bered acts of kindness by casting votes for
their favorite.
Soby this, it may be said, that THE NEWS
list of contestants is a teachers roll OF honor.
1t matters not whether the teacher is credited
with one vote or hundred, the fact re-
mains that it was cast by pupil who loved
the teacher for her kindness. 1t is wonder
full how pupils learn to appreciate kind
teacher. Words of kindness are never lost.
The pupil will some day show his or her
appreciation.
A PLEASING INCIDENT.
There is one instance OF this in this very
contest. The first votes cast for Miss Mary
Lawler of No. School, Hoboken, were cast
by gentleman whom she taught some
twelve or thirteen years ago. The writer
does not know whether this gentleman
thought Miss Lawler would win, but he did
believe that if those whom she taught would
cast each two or three votes she would De
very near the lead, If not ahead, at the
close.
Miss Han,ill Of No. II School, this city, is
in the lead again today with 23S votes Miss
O'Toole of Aoboken strengthens her posi-
tion in second place, having 100 votes. Miss
Weymer of No. l, this city, holds third
A new contestant today is Miss M. McNa-
mara of No. 2, this city. She jumps into
new contestant to join the leaders is Miss L..
Frazee of No. 5 School, this city, who takes
ninth place with 80 votes to her credit. An
other new contestant today is Miss Clara
Post of Nc. 22 with 10 votes.
