educational contest la worth conaldera-

,"I am' very "much In faTor . of , aueh

Bptgrasa Zaaplrma;
' Henrietta . Holmea-Flandera . of the
Holmea-rianders private school of Port,
land has written two aentenoes which
will five encouragement to young people-
who long - for an t education. It
would be weU if teachers and educators
generally would keep thisv in mind and
some parents who nag and discourage
their--children would be benefited to
adopt this saying, aa a motto: ..- -
leaa until ha gives himself up. After
that ha la beyond hope." . - . y
- rame e Ooaeeas. ' v ' -'
The fame of The Journal's educational
- contest and . the names and ambitions
of the contestants have gone beyond the
confines of Oregon. Over in Washing
ton state the contestants are being
watched.' " -. '
. The Journal's ambitious boys and girls
find that they are in demand. It la a
credit to them to try to work out their
next yaar's tuition during the present
vacation by. soliciting for. subscribers
to The Journal. . The colleges every
where want the kind of stuff that news
paper contestants are made of. - It Is
considered aa honor to a college to be
chosen by a wide-awake and enterpris
ing boy or girl who baa attained wide
publicity by going through the strenu
ous struggle of gathering subscription
VOtea. , . , ,
' The Quality Wla. V
' .Winning contestants become winning
students. School life Is a contest. The
student who has no pride In reciting
better than his fellows never amounts
to anything In school or In after life.
In school It Is a strugglo to keep near
the head of the eUsses; In business It
Is a strife for position and wealth; In
politics It Is a light for power; la the
contest It Is a scramble for subscrip
tion votes. - '
' The whole fabric of - elrcuUtlon Is
spun' upon 'contest. The turning of
every wheel begets competition. - And
The Journal's boys and girls who are
seeking scholarships through the com
petitive system are learning the great
practical lessons of Ufa. ' "' " ,
Kelp and Baawanca. ' .
The grown ups can help and encourage
'the young people striving for scholar
ships In such a way aa to fill them
with hope and courage.
A good start la Important In every
venture. It la especially neceesary to
a boy or girl. Sometimes to a child the
tart la everything.
. ' Yotantee the Subaortptloa. ' .
- When the patron of The Journal reads
about a contestant who la worthy of
encouragement the subscription should
be volunteered. It must be paid some
time, anyway. Why not send the money
to The Journal asking that the votes
be credited, at the same time dropping
a. card to notify the contestant That
will aava the contestant one trip and
encourage him or her to look for others.
Every subscriber to a paper wanta .to
see bis paper widely read. He is x a
stockholder In Its good-will and In Ha
tore of knowledge and he wanta to aee
the corporation of subscribers extended.
Hera Is the opportunity to help the
contestants to get new subscribers. The
oldjubscribergmvjay their subatirlp'
tlons in advanoe to the contestants and
that will give the boys and girls more
time to look for new subscribers.
: " Qoatistants Are Hones. ; '.'
The eontestanta are relUble and they
can be trusted with the money. Boys
and girls are honest in business. It .la
not until paat the age of 18 that people
spend money that does not belong to
them.. ,i . .
'- No boy or girl seeking aa education
Was ever known to betray a trust of
funds. Subscribers are safe In remitting
direct to the contestants, or they may
end the money to The Journal offloe,

Stephen B. I Penrose, the able and
energetle president cf Whitman college.
Walla Walla, has written letters to all
The Journal's contestants. Inviting them
to consider the great Whitman school.
The college at Walla Walla la . not

This, enterprising stroke on the part
of President Penrose Is an Illustration
of the vigor, with which the name and
fame of. Whitman la heralded through
out the land.
.' Sotteta f os Bvery One. .'
Master of the epistolary art well
a eloquent on the platform. President
Penrose has written a letter to ault
every one of The Journal's eontestanta.
To several of the contestants he has
addressed two letters. This Is the open

T aee by the Portland Journal that
you are anxious to secure a college edu
cation, and ara competitor In the
scholarship contest which The Journal
haa established. - I call your attention
to tne opportunities which are offered
here at Whitman college for an educa
tlon of the highest grade, I think that
no other college la the ' northwest is
recognised by the eastern colleges to
the extent that Whitman Is. Our stu
dents transfer to colleges of New Eng
land with equal standing. -.
President Penrose went on to enumer
ate the advantages of Whitman college.

Mildred L. Clemens, "the little Mark
Twain" of the contest, he makes some
comparisons which may provoke discus

"Miss Mildred U Clemens. University

Clemens: - Your letter of July II haa
just been received. , I am much Inter
ested In what you say about yourself,
and give you my best wishes for suo-

bition and energy, "you ought to win.
"When you do go to college, X do not
see why you should not come to Whit
man, because there are a great many
more opportunities for a girl to. make
her way here than there would be at
Eugene. Walla Walla Is a town of !.
00 people, who are very glad to' en
courage atudents by giving them oppor
tunities to work. 'W make a special
point of finding suitable work for' stu
dents, and no one who Is willing and
faithttil need ever give' up a college
education. I can find you a comfort
able home, where In return for helping
with the housework you will receive
your room and board, the chief expense

are making their way in that manner.
It Is no -reproach here to be earning
your way; and, moreover, half of our
students are doing It We also have
work for a number of students In the
dormitories. I have been told that there
are more chances for a student to make
her way here than at any other college;
town In the northwest. .
I hope that you will keep Whitman
college In mind, and remember not only
the chances for work, but also the par
tlcuUrly high standards of scholarship.
We do not hesitate to claim the- high
est Standards in the northwest Work
here is recognised by the New England
colleges as of the came quality aa their
own, and a. student can paaa from one
of our classes to a corresponding class

remarkable decrease In the amount of

who la president of the Independent Tel
ephone Operators' association, haa as
serted that the rule. "No swearing over
the telephone," haa caused the decrease
In profanity, and that thla Influence

nounced the telephone was Immediately
consulted, and thla was the conversation:.

"I don't -want a number. I -want te

"Well. I am here to tell you they do,"
said central. "All telephone girls get It
every day, and they are not allowed to
talk back."
"What do they say to yeuT"
"Oh. I would not repeat the things
they say. Sometimes they talk some
thing fierce." -. '"
"But what do you do, just grin and

"No, I don't When a man swears at

what be says, and he can cuss into his

"What do they swear for T" t
"Oh. almost anything. When ' a man
