Many of the lists of Utah's, factories submitted by students during Utah Products Prod-ucts week were so complete that it has taken the committee an exceptionally long time to check them and decide'upon winners win-ners of the capital prizes. Nearly 10,000 students participated in the contest and Immediately after Utah Products week 264 minor prizes were awarded to pupils in sixty -six schools, but more than 100 lists were sent to the Manufacturers' association as-sociation to compete for the capital prizes. Tiie largest list submitted contained 1S20 names, the second largest 1505 and the third largest 1477. Many of the lists contained between 500 and 10'10 names. All the lists have been checked and the names of firms not actually engngeJ in man u fact uring eliminated. The first prize of $17.50 was awarded to Grace Jones of the J,. D. S. high school, the second prize of 512.50 to Evelyn Eve-lyn lions of the St. Mary's academy, third prizes of $10 earh went to Read Cajinon of the Washington school mid to Miriam Woodbury of the Dee Junior hish school. Ogden, and the fourth prize was awarded to Arnold Burns of the fifth grade of the Oquirrh school. The contest was by far the most site-, cessful ever conducted hy the Manufacturers' Manufac-turers' association for students, according to B. AY. Mendenhall. chairman of the school committee. He said that his committee com-mittee had been commended upon every hand for the lair nnd impartial manner in which the contest was carried out and many leading educators have expressed themselves that they consider such movements move-ments as excellent for the purpose of arousing an interest among young people In the resources and industries of the : state. ! The large number of students who shared in the prizes given and the num- 1 ber of schools represented among the winners win-ners made a special appeal to both teachers teach-ers and students. Next year arrangements arrange-ments will probably be made to distribute the prizes even more widely than they were distributed this year and schools in every part of tiie state will receive recognition recog-nition for their efforts. The committee in cliarce of the contest con-test and the officers of th Manufacturers' Manufactur-ers' association were greatlv pleased with the manner and neatness with which most of the lists were submitted. They indicate indi-cate that efficient work of a hitrli order Is being done in our schools and the young people are receiving a training which . will qualify them to enter the business ; world.
