List Not Yet Complete.

Contest is not yet complete, enough
progress has been made to enable us to
lnounce the fact that there will be a
contest this year, and that it Will be
more than twice as large an undertake
ing as last years, both in the number
of scholarships to be offered and in the
value of the special rewards to be given
contestants. Contracts, representing
nearly $1,000, have already been made,
and this amount will doubtless be
largely increased before the contest
formally opens.
II has been decided TO begin this
years contest earlier than the two pre-
cedilg ones, for the reason that the
young students to whom the contests
especially appeal, will not be in the
midst of examinations at the time of
the opening, and can devote much of
their spare time to becoming acquaint-
ed with the features of the contest,
getting into the routine of the work,
and becoming greatly interested before
vacation time comes around.
