SCHOOL PRIZES. No doubt any special school may he drilled hv an enthusiastic head mistress or headmaster into a contempt for prizes, yet tilts apparent manifestation of liigh-mindedness does not eliminate the individualism that desires to assort, itself by victory. Man is a competitive creature, and the school should face realities and make sure that the competitive instinct proceeds on such lines that the- securing of a prize by one makes it certain that all are in the running, that all are up to the standard of the prize. This raises the real issue of the prize. From the point of view of the school the thing that matters is the responsibility involved in prize-winning. The material prize pleases the hoy or girl and the parents and satisfies the sense of individual capacity. But the matter docs not stand there. The prize is not or should not, be an ephermcrnl thing. It marks not only a triumph but a standard and from that standard tjie winner, the class, the school dare not decline.” “Times Educational Supplement.”
