THE INTEREST aroused by the first
announcements of The Tribune's
Educational Contest is still very
lively. and not a day passes but there
are entries. The feature of the contest

These are more especially from out
side the city, and The Tribune is
pleased to extend a cordial welcome to
these workers, for they are particular
ly desirable for this kind of effort, and
when they do start in on an ambitious
project they take hold with a vim ana
earncstness which their brothers would
do well to emulate.
Opportunity Still Open.
The opportunity to enlist in the army
of progress and education is not yet

ones who have been hesitating to come

The Special Rewards.
The Tribune's Educational Contest
has excited great interest all through
this section of Pennsylvania, because
of the extremely liberal nature of the
special rewards offered in connection
with it. The educational rewards have
been dwelt upon more than any of the
others, because they will appeal more
to the class of young men and womcn
who are ambitious, for they present to
them an opportunity to endOw them
selves with facilities for higher edu-
cation. But the other rewards aside
from those of a scholastic nature, pre-
sent inducements for all to come into
this competition, irrespective Of age or
sex, or condition. Especially desirable
in its value and attractiveness Is the
special reward No. 3, the Sohmer plano.
Sohmer Piano.
This special reward Is one Of great
beauty, and is in itself an incentive for
the greatest amount Of labor, and COM
bined with it are a silkcn scarf and
