Misses Carey and Curran in
the Lead Once More.
Six Weeks From Today the TIVE
Successful Candidates


The TRIBUNE Office Is becoming quite
a stamping ground for the school children
these days, and judging by the bright and
eager countenances of the youngsters who
make daily visits with their contributions
those teachers who are entered in the con-
test have faithful champions in some OF
the children under their charge.
AS the contest progresses the interest il
becoming more intense, and before many
days the fight will be a merry one.
Miss Carey still leads in the Pawtucket
column, but Miss Martin an Miss Fair
brother are not far behind. The contest
is young yet, and besides, most the can
didates are holding back their votes until
the last day. Orders are being received
daily for 25, 80 and 100 extra copies of the
TRIBUNE from friends of the various can
didates, and this fact shows the interest
being taken In the contest.
In Central Falls Miss Curran seems to
be the popular teacher thus far, although
Miss Easton is holding her own, but any
evenings issue may bring one of the other
candidates to the front.
Votes for three new candidates were re-
ceived at the office today, but under the
rule their names will not be published un-
til tomorrow evening.
