Peace Prize Contest
NEWS AND COMMENT.
Two sets of prizes, to be known as the Seabury Prizes, are offered by the American School Peace League for the best essays on one of the following subjects:
1. The Opportunity and Duty of the Schools in the International Peace Movement. (Open to Seniors in the Normal Schools.)
2. The Influence of the United States in Advancing the Cause of International Peace. (Open to Seniors in the Secondary Schools.) Three prizes of seventy-five, fifty and twenty-five dollars will be given for the best essays in both sets. The competition is open to pupils of all countries, and closes March 1, 1916. The conditions are as follows:
Essays must not exceed 5000 words (a length of 3000 words is suggested as desirable), and must be written, preferably in typewriting, on one side only of paper, 8 x 10 inches, with a margin of at least \ inches. Manuscripts not easily legible will not be considered.
The name of the writer must not appear on the essay, which should be accompanied by a letter giving the writer’s name, school, and home address, and sent to Mrs. Fannie Fern Andrews, Secretary, American School Peace League, 405 Marlborough Street, Boston, Mass., not later than March 1, 1916. Essays should be mailed flat (not rolled).
The award of the prizes will be made at the Annual Meeting of the League in July, 1916. Information concerning literature on the subject may be obtained from the Secretary. In addition to the cash prizes, Doubleday Page and Company will send a copy of “War and Waste,” by David Starr Jordan, to the three successful contestants and to the four receiving honorable mention in each set.
