ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Next Saturday evening at o'clock
the most interesting and successful
newspaper contest in Southern Cali
fornia history will draw to a close,
and fifty-nine valuable premiums will
be awarded the successful contestants
who have been industriously at work
securing subscriptions for The Herald
for the past seven weeks.
Forty-one of these premiums will
be awarded contestants in contest No.
/ for young women of Southern Cali
fornia. Sixteen premiums will be
awarded contest No. 8, for young men
and boys, and two premiums go to
contest No. 2, for fraternal orders.
The extra premium offer which closed
last night at 10 o'clock was a grand
success. OF course the returns have
not all been received yet, for con-
testants living outside the city of Los
Angeles have the privilege OF posing
their letters in their respective post
offices up to 10 o'clock. In that way
having an equal time TO WORK as the
contestants close in.
The winners of these extra premiums
will be announced next Saturday night
after the contest is closed, but before
the final count has begun. There has
been some surprises in this contest,
and other surprises will likely follow
during this week.

senting the city of Los Angeles, have

nounced in the contest columns of The

Norman Nathan Smith. the Mon
rovia hustler, first came to the front
on his fathers Duarte ranch. For the
last two years he has been attending
the MonroVia grammar school, from
which he graduates this term. He has
not allowed his canvassing to interfere
with his studies, but is sending in
subscribers at the rate that shows he
will have to be reckoned with at the
end. The boy of IA who downs him
will have to work.
A scholarship has been secured for
some lucky young woman in the Cum
mock School of Expression.
Cumnock school has grown with the
city, until it's friends are legion. Mr.
and Mrs. Merrill M. Grigg. manager
and director of the school, give 1t their
personal supervision. They stand at
its head with wise and kindly counsel
together with splendid faculty.
Situated in the heart of the city
fashioned after Shakespeare birth
place at Stratford- on Avon, Vine-cov-
cred surrounded by green lawn, with
a glimpse of tropical garden through
the rose-grown lattice, it is no wonder
pedestrians linger and passersby feel
an uplift in looking on the "Shakes-
peare home" as 1 have heard tourists
name It,
SO if the exterior can delight the eye
and charm the mind, how much more
can students count those hours within
as precious
Los Angeles is fortunate in having
Cumnock, where there is time for Gull
tural development of each tsudent, as
well as individual training in the usual
courses of study.
Dramatic expression is in no wise
intended primarily for stage work, eX-
cepting as we consider "All the worlds
a STAGE" and that the "men and wo-
men must make their exits and their
entrances in the most graceful and
happy manner possible. For, by learn
ing to appreciate art, literature and
right thinking, all nature indeed has
a voice in us.
The two departments of the school,
the expression and academic, are pre-
sided over by careful instructors of
reputation. Individual attention is
given to all regular students, while
special pupils can select studies de-
sired. The academic course corresponds
with the high school, and includes
practical OPPRESSION work. To be sure
of ones self. inspires faith and
strengthens others. The department
of epression graduates students in
three years who have previously fin
ished a high school course.
The new dormitory, in the garden,
provides an ideal home where there is
an atmosphere of refinement and we'll
bred amusement. Nowhere could a girl
bloom more gracefully into woman
hood. or be fitted better TO occupy her
