WANT TO Be A REPORTER?
SCHOOLBOYS, HERE'S CHANCE
TO GET A START IN LIFE
THE EVENING STAR Will Give Good Positions on Its Staff to
the Five Boys Who Show Greatest Proficiency as
Newsgatherers and Writer'S for lis Columns.

STTHE EVENING STAR is going to make every schoolboy in
Newark a reporter for its columns. AT the end of the school
year some of these boys are going to be given a chance to enter
the newspaper profession as reporters under a salary. Here is how
this novel plan which will mean so much in education and experience
is going to be worked out
Most every boy sees some incident or incidents in his daily life
which, if written in newspaper style, and sent in to THE EVENING
STAR, would be interesting to thousands of its readers. THE
EVENING STAR proposes to give the schoo1boys of Newark and its
surrounding cities and towns an opportunity to see what material they
are made of. 1t purposes to bring about a Battle of Wits among these
boys. 1t purposes to make a friendly rivalry among them that shall
be as intense as the struggle they all make to win at the games they
play. And i'll the end the five boys who make the best showing will
be rewarded with positions in which they can start the more serious
duties of life with promises of better things before them for the early
future.
Iii hard to define what is a newspaper story in a few words, but
it lis usually any happening that is rare, queer or unusual, II an event
which interests a group of persons. To the boys who show the clear
est perception and the best knowledge of composition and general news
value of the story the prize will go.
Every schodboy in Essex County is invited TO enter this contest
today. The first news item you see, boys, write it out on paper and
mail it to City Editor, THE EVENING STAR, Newark, N. ].
In writing boys must use one side of the paper only. Words
should be properly spelled and sentences correctly punctuated. Names
and addresses should be given in full, and care should be taken to make
every statement accurate. Just a plain story of what happens, with
out coorng or comment, is wanted. Boys should read THE
STAR carefully and note the style Of the paper and how
news articles are written. Each boy should give his name and address
in full. From time to time the pictures of the boys who distinguish
themselves in the contest will be printed in this column.

The young maidens of Dodd street,
East Orange, near the Watsessing sta
ton of the Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western Railroad had decided to trap
the young men by giving a dance in
their honor, to be held in the Royal
Arcanum Hall February 20. Realizing
chat on account of hard times the
young men desired to enjoy single
-blcsscdness FOR another four years Mt
least, they had the tickets printed and
made all necessary arrangements Just
at the beginning of the new year.
Miss Il. S. c., the belle of Dodd street,
took the initiative and set the game
in motion by inviting a very eligible
young man of Newark. She is a
charming and beautiful young lady OF
the younger set, and has held sway
in Dodd street society ever, since she
has attended the East Orange High
School, where she has a host OF ad-
mirers. 1t is needless to say tina she
was most confident of success. But
alas! The sensible Mr.. H. S. would not
even be tempted by the Belle of Dodd
street. He sent at once a peremptory
refusal, and Miss e. S, G. has been in
a state of b8wilderment ever since
owing to the shock h experienced
How did it happen? Miss e. S. G,
will now plead sickness as the OF
her non-attendance. The other young
ladies' seem to be IN the same predica-
ment. Some have tried to trap as
many as three young men, but there
was nothing doing" The best that
they could get for their trouble was
three refusals. They are now disposed
to ask almos. anything in the shape o
a man, paying all expenses. and fur.

jolly good qilne. If the young men ds
