competitive arrangement admins
tered by a distinguished committee Of
men interested in moral education in
this country. An American business
man. whose name is withheld, has Of
fered cash Prize of $4,000 to the writ
er of the best moral code for young
people between the ages OF and IL
years, for use In the schools or in the
home.
Under plans that have been worked
out, there is, to be one code writer
from each state and enough others
from the more populous states to
bring the aggregate number of writ
.ers up to seventy. The competition
will close some time next fall, proba-
bly, about December, 1916. Each code
is to lie limited to 5000 words and
the writer is to have entire liberty as

by an especial committee appointed
for this purpose, the names Of these

pected to send their advice and sug-
gestions to the code writer's of their re-
spective states us needless to say
that DR.. Belts will welcone all sug-
