true American ideal" he sums it up,
in concluding his paper. Let us new

State. For the contest convinced US
that the young people of the nation
are fully aware of the Importance Of
constitutional government. The evi-
dence of thought and understanding
which came to us through the es-
says confirms our belief that youth
will not depart from the traditional
idealism of their fOrefathers.
THE young people Of Delaware
have not abandoned the principles
Of the nations greatness. Signposts
pointing to mysterious and theoret-
ical highways of government are at
every hand, but if a representative
cross-sectiOn of high school students
is any criterion of the future, the
well-traveled and dependable roads
we have known and trOd will con-
tinue to be favored.
"The League feels that the contest
has served a two-fold purpose: a
gauge of public opinion and a cam
paign of education in the fundamen-
tai principles of American govern
ment. The issue is a timely one, for
the time is approaching when the
people Of the United States, and es-
pecially the young people, will have
to reach a decision as to whether
our government shall survive in its
time-honOred form"
Identities We're Masked
The League contest began early
last June, and entries were received
from virtually every section of the
State. A system of numbered cards
was used, insuring complete anO-
nymity among contestants until all
papers we're judged.
Under the rules adopted, students
we're permitted to discuss any phase
of the subject they chose, and a wide
latitude was allowed in any view the
writer might care to express. In ad-
dition to the scholarship winners,
number of cash awards were made
in each district. Sectional winners
received $3.50 checks for their col
lege expenses. the choice Of school
