young people who are struggling to
gain the means TO obtain good educa-
ton than ever before extended TO them
by any prize competition. Instead OF
competing for free scholarships which
might not be of any benefit TO them
after they are won, The Call gives
young people who are struggling to
educate themselves the opportunity to

money TO pay for an entire college

or anything else the winner may desire.
The educational feature of the gold
prize contest is. in fact, one Of the
things pertaining TO it that are most
commendable Not only are ambitious
young people given the opportunity to
earn the means to educate themselves,
but the contest work gives them bust
ness experience that is equivalent to
a good. practical education in Itself.

A number of bright young people who
are endeavoring to educate themselves
are trying TO win some of the big
purses which The Cal is offering as an
aid TO students and others who need
the money. Among the latest to enter
the lists in order TO win money for
educational purposes is Miss Emile 4
Hayward of Martinez. one of the most /
popular. as well as most energetic. /
young ladies of Contra Costa County.
PROBABLE PACE-sETTER
Miss Hayward is likely to set a lively I
pace for the other contestants, owing 1
TO her untiring energy, business tact /
and experience in contest work. She
was q leading candidate in a scholar
ship contest conducted by a San Fran
cisco newspaper within the present 1
year. Just as victory was about with
IN her grasp. after she had worked hard
and long to win scholarship in an art
school, the fire of April Is put a pre-
mature stop TO the contest, and it was
never resumed, nor has she ever re-
ceived and remuneration for the work
she performed in that contest.
Miss Hayward has very marked tai
IS much older (she is not yet out of
her "teens'D she hopes to be an ac-
complished illustrator and cartoonist.
Her art education has been delayed
through her failure to get the scholar
ship for which she labored so indus
triously, but she is not discouraged,
and having assurance that she will
receive the reward she earns by par
ticipating in The Calls gold prize con-
test she has set herself resolutely to
work to secure enough cash subscrib- |
ers TO The Call to win all the money
she will need to complete her educa-
ton.
Although a resident Of Martinez Miss
Hayward has many friends in San
Francisco, Oakland and Berkeley. She
is q musician Of more than average
ability and has taken part in many
public entertainments in the cities
across the bay. In addition TO her
varied accomplishments she has a
charming personality which makes her
prime favorite in social circles. Miss
Hayward never does anything by
halves. Whatever task she undertakes
she devotes herself to. heart and soul,
disposition.
