One feature of the contest that is particularly noticeable is the spirit of “stay-with-it” exhibited by all the contestants. Each candidate realizes she has as much chance as any other, and each is convinced' that no matter what her standing may be now, that she will ultimately buckle down to work and win the piano. Usually in a contest of this character there are one or two, sometimes more, who are faint-hearted and unlesi they make a fine showing right at the start, get discouraged and want to quit, but not in this contest. Each individual candidate wants to win and is going to try. And if each one works her best, many changes will be made in the line-up before the winner is announced.
