HIGH SCHOOL CREDIT CONTEST.

First Prize-south High School, Minneapolis.
Second Prize-Oakes, N. D.
The second quarter of the High School Credit con-
test brings to South High School, Minneapolis
and to the high school of Cakes, N d. who receive first
and second prizes, respectively.
Hereafter, the two prizes will be pictures books,
casts, to the value of $40 each.
Winners OF the two prizes barred from the High
School Credit contests for the
year, altho their contributions will be printed.
These changes have been deemed advisable because
the first prize is generally by the margin Of
two credits only, and the difference between the two
seemed to bear rather hard upon school which
lost by but credit. ..- r.
