EARLHAM CONTEST ARRANGED FOR ALL SCHOOL CHILDREN Blanks were distributed this week to all schools of Wayne county, to be given out by the various teachers to all children desiring to enter the essay contest which is being held a3 a part of the big Earlham endowment campaign which is now being carried on. These blanks will give the pupils absolute fairness in the decision, as he will receive two blanks, both numbered. On one blank will be written the name of the contestant and his address, and on the other will be printed merely the number. The part with the name will be filed in the office of the managers of the Earlham Endowment campaign, and the blank with the number only will be pasted on the pupils essay. The Judges in the contest will not know the names of the writers as they decide on the winning ones. Only after the decision is made by the Judges, will the other set of blanks be Investigated, to find the names of the successful contestants. As Earlham is the only institution of its kind in the county and, indeed, in many counties, the possibilities for its enlarging its influence very, very much in this county as well as many, many counties and states outside, are great. The question upon which the boys and girls in the grammar schools of this county will write is, "Why I am for Earlham." The subject of the High school essays is, "What Earlham College Means to Wayne County." The prizes to be awarded in this contest amount to $380 in gold. Already many pupils are beginning to plan their essays. The question is an interesting one and of great importance to Earlham and Richmond and the entire county. Why are you for Earlham? Look over Earlham College if you live near enough, read about it, ask old Students and alumni about it and write an essay that will be a Vinner." This contest ends on Oct. 2.
