Cooperating with the extension service of Clemson College in conduct ing these fertilizer “schools” will be the soil improvements committee of the National Fertilizer Association, and two parties of sneakers formed so that meetings may be "carried on at different places on the same dates. Included among the workers will be Prpf. T. S. Buie, acting agronomist; R. WjrHamilton, extension agrono mist; J. C. Pridmore, director of soil itnprovement committee, and W.

They were so bent on winning that they were willing to do anything 'to win. “Parents, friends and even teachers have more than occasionally been known to lend questionable if not un scrupulous aid to their favorites in a heated contest,” Mr. Hand says. The section of the report having to do with the award of prizes follows: « “The young, tactless mother is re puted to offer her child a. slice of angel cake to be good while the min ister is Aaking his pastoral call. The tactless 4chooL Jeacher used to offer a prize to theV^pil who would stand oftenest at the head of the line in the Friday afternoon spelling bees. This latter performance has been laughed out of court but, like the demons of holy writ, it has returned with seven other demons in the shape ol medals and prizes for every subject. In many schools the bestowal of' medals and prizes has become not only a nuisance but a source of evil. 7 • “Prizes are supposed to be incentive to effort. School prizes are supposed to stimulate pupils to effort.! Are prizes incentives ? If so, are they natural or artificial, wholesome or un wholesome? Of a class of 30 pupils, how many may be expected to be steadily stimulated through a whole year or even a half year by the offer of a prize? Experience has proved that rarely ever more than 10 per cent, of any class or group are seri ously influenced for any length of time by the offer of any kind of prize. However, the 10 per cent, who are stimulated are the very pupils who kafct need'any stimulation. The boy or girl of capacity and willingness to work needs no artificial stimulation. On the other hand those who are sup posed to he benefited by such incen tives as medals—the slow, the indif ferent, the dull—are never touched by the offer of medals and prizes. ^ The pupil of inferior capacity, limited opportunities, but willing to work stands no chance to win a prize in a contest where there can be but one winner. In fact, I believe that it could be shown that prizes react un favorably upon those who most need stimulation and who are supposed to be stimulated. For in the very face of inevitable failure to win in compe tition with known superiority the in different pupil becomes more so and the weak pupil becomes discouraged. “In the next place the winning of prizes in close contests has been the beginning cf the downfall of not a few pupils. The urge to win was so great in the experience of many that they threw honesty and integrity to the wind. They were so bent on win ning that they were willing to do any thing to win. Parents, friends and even teachers have more than occa sionally been known to lend question able, if not unscrupulous, aid to their favorites in a heated contest. For more than 20 years I have been wit nessing all manner of school contests for medals and prizes. Many has been the time that 1 have sat and lis tened to a prize essay or a written and memorized debate, when every intelli gent mfn and woman in the audience knew that perhaps not a contestant was capable of the thought or the composition rendered or of the re search involved in the preparation of some of the productions. “A few years ago by mere acci dent I stumbled in upon a high school “commencement.” Somebody was of fering a medal for the best essay on compulsory education. There * were three contestants, I was told. “The winner was a girl. In filmy frills and flounces she minced her way to the platform. Her eyes announced victory. In her hand she held one of the most elaborately beribboned quires of tinted paper I had seen in a long time.f She began to read. The first few sentences were rather flat but shortly she rose to a higher plane of i thinking and of composition; we all began to take notice; she soon had her audience and they began to cheer as she went from paragrapjr'fo para graph. ^ “I was particularly well pleased; her arguments just suited me; I thought that her points were well made; I enjoyed her essay, for—she was reading verbatim an address I had made two years before in Nash ville, Tenn. I was 40 flattered by the compliment she had paid me by selecting my production and in being willing to mother it as her own that I opened not my mouth save in con gratulating Bier. “Do teachers, school authorities and over-zealous friends stop to consider how little benefit their medals and prizes render to the schools and in the heat of contest how great temptations they place, before pupils ? Moreover, these contests are often held in order to further some undertaking not di rectly connected with school work at all. Is education so material a thing and are boys and girls to be bribed, as it were, into making an el fort to get an education ?
