The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1902-05-17

The Tribune's great Educational Con-
test has been open Just two weeks, ana
vet the list of contestants is not full.
Thirty-three scholarships are offered.
ranging in value from $45 to $1,7OO, and
Ave of these are still without claim
ants.
It is not surprising that some of the
young people do not realize what Is
within their reach, as 1t is so easy to
say that an education covering four
years, and including not only tuition
but in some cases also board and room
is offered, but it is hard to grasp the
full Significance Of the assertion
Through The Tribune's Educational
Contest, not only one but several young
persons will obtain just such educa-
tions, and that for the work of but a
few short summer weeks. The contest
has but twenty-three weeks yet to run,
and at the end of that time the con-
testants who have scored the largest
numbers of points will have an oppor-
tunity to select any school or college in
the entire list offered by The Tribune,
and will be entitled to all the benefits
going with each, as has been so fully
described in these columns.
Ton Scholarships of Three Years or
More.
In order to secure one of these great
scholarships the contestant will not
necessarily have to finish at the top.
Anywhere within the first ten places
will ensure scholarship covering at
least three years, as among the scholar
ships there are four covering three
years, five covering four years. and one
covering five years. Several of these
also include board, room and other in-
cidental expenses.
Just imagine that for what canvass
ing you are able to do for The Tribune
between now and October 90, you may
receive educational advantages cover
ing from three to five years, as we'll as
your board and room! Surely there Is
no young man or woman In Northeast
ern Pennsylvania who does not believe
they can get among the first ten II
thev really try
Beside these ten there are scholar
rhips which are we'll worthy to head a
list as the remaining twenty-three are
worth nearly $500. There is one cover
ing tuition, board and room for two
years, and still others worth from 5000
down, SO that even the least ambitious
will have share in the good things.
Every Contestant Will Be Paid.
4 very important feature of the con-
Test Is that every young man or woman
who does any work at all for The Tri-
hume during this contest will be re-
warded for what they do. Thirty-three
scholarships Is very large number
but there will probably be more than
this number OF contestants. and those
who fail to get within the first thirty
three will receive back In cash ten per
cent. OF all the money they collect for
The Tribune.
The Tribune does not ask anyone to
work for nothing. 1t is perfectly will
ing to pay for all work done, SO that
whether you get a special reward or
not you can rest assured that you will
be winner"
Special Honor Rewards.
A feature of this years contest
which is evidently going to prove popu-
lar is the Offering of special honor
prizes to those who do the best work
each month. The first of these, which
10 to be given to the contestant who
secures the largest number Of points
during May, is handsome gold watch,
