Pupils attending the Henry-Polk group school wil] be well represented among the contestants in The Star's $1,000 prise essay contest on the sub- ject, “The Arms Conference and Its Signifcance,” according to H. W. Draper, principal. If some of the puplls do not win a few of the eighty- eight cash prizes, in the opinion of Principal Draper, it will not be for the lack of instruction on. the develop- ments of the historical arms confer- ence. Mr. Draper said that Henry-Polk puplis in the seventh and eighth grades have devoted much time to an intensive study of the arms con- ference proceedings under the direc- tion of Miss Rose A. Dugan, English teacher, and” he believes they are thoroughly familiar with all the im- portant Phn!sl of the epoch-making event. Miss Dugan is Bupervising the writing of essays. With only two days remaining for the contestants to submit their es- says to the contgst editor, reports to school authorities show that hundreds of children are busy writing composi- | tions which they hope will win one of | the numerous cash awards. The essay contest _editor is literally being swamped with essays from puplls in | private and parochial schools as well as those in the public institutions. All essays must be in the hands of the contest editor by midnight to- morrow night. If they are placed in the mails they must be postmarked midnight or earlier. As soon as the contest closes 'the esshys will be turned over to the judges, who will determine the eighty- eight most meritorious. After the judges have carefully examined the compositions and arranged them in the order of merit, the names of the winners will be announced. The date on_which the names of the winners will be announced later, as it will de- pend entirely on the length of time it takes the judges to examine the es- says.
