Prompted by generous impulse to wards others who make their own way through school, either from choice or from necessity, Horaoe Wilson ha ad dressed a letter to The Journal concern ing the coming educational contest The letter is printed in full: "Portland. Or.. June 11. Journal Pub llshlng Company Gentlemen: Having read several letters of contestants in The Journal's first educational contest I wish to state some of my experiences , and benefits derived from it. I I did not always obtain a subscrip tion the first time I met a man or woman, but after telling them that It would help me to earn scholarship, very few would fail to give their sub scription to me. if they had not given or1 promised It to another contestant Some told me that they were holdlni their votes for the first boy or girl tha would ask for them, not knowing which one they wished to have them. I got votes from some who had already helped another.1 They said tbev had to have a paper and preferred The Journal, so it mads no difference to them if they did pay quite a way In advance. "A number of people 'phoned for ma to come and get their votes, while otners from distant parts mailed their sub scrlDtlons to me. "the contest was a great benefit to me. it caused me to nave more conn dence in myself, and besides, I won the second cash prise of 1200 and also se cured valuable "scholarship In the Portland academy. "Your contest of last year was Indeed an educational contest, for a boy or girl can gain much knowledge from meeting and talking to so many dilxerent people. even in so short a period as that of the contest . It is very oenenciat tor a man or woman in business to know how to approach another In a businesslike way. This will be learned to a great extent in canvasslnr for subscriptions for newspaper, A newspaper is something every person needs, and a man can pay for It in advance Just as easily as in arrears. "-n will find little difficulty in sell Ing a subscription for The Oregon Daily Journal, for it la the most popular paper of the Oregon country. n wish to atate further that any boy or girl wishing to earn their way through school or oollege cannot put their time to, better advantage than ta enter The Journal's contest tnis sum mer. Other contestants of last year's contest will say tne same.
