during June there were many changes.
That there should be changes simply
shows that some contestants have
worked a great deal harder than 9TH
ers. If all had met with the same sue
cess. all would simply have advanced
| their scores, but would not have
changed positions. Some Of the con-
| testants did their hardest work in May,
and were content to make only fair
showing during June, while others. who
| did not have their interest awakened
during the first month. started In In
June with q strong determination and
! advanced rapidly up the list.

but at the close of the second week he
had regained the lost ground, at the
end of the third was in fourth place,
dropping to fifth the following day,

however, and was obliged to drop back
to fifth place. With the opening of a

Miss Beatrice Harpur, of Thompson,
scored II points and went up four
places, While Miss Harpur's returns
