MANY ESSAYS ON
SUFFERING ARMENIA
Over Two Hundred and Fifty
Have Been Received by
Committee

! over Two nuhured ana IlIIy eSSd u
on Armenia had been submitted by
the school children of Salem and Ma
riOn county up to this morning to the
committee having charge of the con-
test. The largest number comes from
the pupils in the junior grades con-
sisting of the 7th, 8th and 9th grades.
The Salem high school has the next
largest representation.
The work of examination of this
mass of literature has only Just begun,
and judges who will pass finally upon
the merits of the individual essays
will be announced later Some have to
be excluded at once, by reason of fail
ure to give the name of the writer, or
the address or the school he studied all
of which was a condition of entry.
An accumulation of misspelled words
also acts against some papers. One or
two might be disregarded in the award
ing of the prize, but where they are
too frequent, the essay can hardly be
considered a prize winner. Continued
faulty construction Of course operates
to the same effect as misspellings.
The following pupils have sent in
essays:
