WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, MARCH 24, 1923 COLLEGE CAREER ISESSAY PRIZE High School Students To Be Contestants For the fourth successive year, high school students of the nation are to be given opportunity to win the largest single educational award of- fered in the United States, accord- ing to a statement by the Highway Education board at Washington this week. The award is the H. S. Firestone Four Years University Scholarship, providing not only tuition, but room, board, books and special fees for the student writing the best essay in the annual good roads essay contest. The assigned subject of the essays to be written is "The Influence of High- way Transport Upon the Religious Life of My Community." 700 Hundred Word Essays Announcement of the contest is be- ing made to superintendents oi schools, high school principals, and students as rapidly as possible, and all available literature is being listed and tabulated for the information of the prospective contestants. The board anounces its willingness to an- swer any inquiry students and.teach- ers may desire to make, it points out that all that is necessary in compli- ance with the simple rules of the con- test, and the preparation of a 700 word essay on the subject. Essays should be submitted to the high school principal by May 1. The contest, known to thousands of students throughout the United States and territorial possessions as the "an- nual good roads essay contest," is the most sustained competition of its kind. Inaugurated in 1920, it has pro- vided a college education for three students, one boy and two girls, and its maintenance from year to year is assured by the donor of the scho- larship, Harvey S. Firestone, Akron, Ohio. Unique Subject This year the subject is regarded as unique and unusual, bringing up for discussion the relation of im- proved transportation to the moral tone of the religious life of the com- munity. Leading churchmen have ex- pressed their approval of the discus- sion the essays are to bring about, while distinguished educators have given their approval to the contest itself. In past years the subjects have been broader, and more general, the subject for 1922 dealing with the im- proved transportation and the growth of the community as a whole. Previous winners have been Miss Katherine F. Butterfield, Weiser, Ida- |} ho, 1920; Miss Garland Johnson, Bridgeport, West Virginia, 1921, and in 1922, Karl G. Pearson, Washington, District of Columbia. Miss Butter- field is in college, but Miss Johnson and Mr. Pearson, not being seniors when the scholarship was awarded them, have remained in high school until their courses are completed. They both will enter college this year, Miss Johnson at the University of West Virginia, and Pearson at a uni- versity in Kansas, his home state. The best three essays: from each high school are to be submitted to state headquarters, where the best es- say from commonwealth will be chos- en. One essay from each state and territory will then come to the Board at Washington, D. C, there to be handed a national committee to be named by Dr. John J. Tigert, U. S. Commissioner of Education. The na- tional committee will award the scho- larship. Inquiries should be addressed to the Highway Education board, Willard Building, Washington, D. C. 1 3 DR. MELVIN B.
