The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1901-05-21

The results Of yesterday in The Trib-
une's Educational Contest show no
change in the relative positions Of the
first four contestants from yesterday
morning. Meyer Lewis, of Scranton,
gained six points on August Drummer,
OF Carbondale, and is now but one
point behind him for second place.
Frank kemmerer. OF Factoryville.
brought in three points and retained
his position by so doing. w. II. Har-
ris, of Hyde Park, made his first re-
port, turning in eleven points and dis
placing II. Leo Huber, who drops down
to sixth.
new contestant, Horace a. Lyons,
OF IIonesdale, entered yesterday.
Since the contest began a goodly
number of names have been enrolled
and the number is being added to daily,
but the roll is not as large as it should
be. There is plenty of room for all
who desire to enlist in this work Of
ambition and advancement. The best
time to start is now. when the contest
is young and there is no great number
of points scored by any of those who
have already started. 1t is an offer
that can he taken advantage OF by
both the employed and unemployed
youth of this section. Sex is no bar
rier, as arrangements have been fully
made to provide for either young men
or women who win. The eight special
rewards offered are all strictly educa-
tional ones, SO there will be the fullest
chance of future uplifting of all who
manage to be in the ranks of the eight
winners. TO those who fall below
eighth place Il cash commission of ten
per cent will be given on all money
they turn in in accordance with the
terms of the contest.
If the older readers of The Tribune.
for whom these special rewards would
nave no allurement, will send us the
names of their sons and daughters,
nephews and nieces or young friends
between the ages of fifteen and twenty
five, we will forward to those named q

with its rules and instructions and an
illustrated pamphlet describing the
special rewards and the educational in
StitutiOns that have been selected for
this years contest
Every day there are more names en-
rolled. as the young people of this sec
tion become convinced that they should
take advantage of this great opportun-
ity. Nearly every young man and wo-
man has an aspiration for college or
Normal school education, and the ma =
jority are forced TO relinquish their
hopes as they grow toward manhood
or womanhood because they cannot af-
ford either the time or the money to
realize theAr cherished ambitions. In
The Tribune's Educational Contest,
however there has been a way opened
and although all cannot win the first
second or third special reward, all can
try for 1t, at least, and each one has
as good a chance to land at the top Of
the list as every other contestant, and
even if he or she should fail to be
among the leaders, they can at least
earn Il substantial sum of money which
may so "a long way toward paying for
what they desire, il they are but will
ing to work for it.
That is all that is necessary to win
success in this, as in every branch Of
busineSs-Work. The contestant who
does the most systematic work. no
matter if he started last week or be-
