The Seafarers Educational Service, which lias already provided a few scholarships nut of its own funds, sent out details of these extra scholarships and prize competitions to all training ships, seamen's institutes, and the mercantile marine departments of the Board of Trade in every port throughout the country. All the ">SO ships that carry the S.E.S. seamen's libraries have also l>een circularised, and it is expected that there will be a hiy response by the seafaring 'irds to these offers.
