others interested attend the meeting
most convenient as scheduled, so that

miles at speed-above two miles a min
ute,” asys Eaaterby Motor Company
of Laurens, local Dodge Brothers
dealers, “should devote much atten
tion to the mechanical condition of his
mount. Back of that he is interested
in the ability of the axles, steering
knuckles, steering connections and
other vital parts to endure the severe
strains set up by the terrific speeds.
“Harry Hartz, who finished second
in a'J&iller eight cylinder car in f*?
250 mile Labor Day race, on the Loard
oval at Altona, Penn., bought a Dodge
Brothers special business coupe the
day before the big event. When he
drove' this attractive new car to the
track his friends began to ask bin.
where he got it> why he bought it and
what he was goipg to do with it after
the racei Hartz explained, *1 intend
to drive it instead of taking the .train
to the rest of the speedway races here
in the East and then drive back to
, California/ When asked why he
and j bought the car he replied, 'Because
there is no doubt as to its absolute
dependability—the all-steel body is
safer than any wood framed bod/--
and it has all the power and more
speed than I need on th$ highway/ i
“That Hartz knows motors and mo
tor performance and knows the im
portance of alloy steel in making >•
car safe is-assured,” Easterby Motor
Company continued, “by the experi
ence he secured with Fred Duesenberg
as mechanic and as driver. Harry
and Jimmie Murphy, in fact, took the
sixteen cylinder Duesenberg to Flori
da and groomed and tuned it up for
the establishment of the records which
still stand for the kilometer and the
subjects. The county farm agents and the distances up to ten miles.
throughout the State will attend and
the meetings are expected to form a
basis fv the first steps toward a bet
ter farming program for 1926.

wards must follow effort enters with
a wrong ideal., The whole mitter of
awarding medala and prilfes, as gen
erally noticed, is objectionable, where
there can be but one successful win
ner in a given class or group htedals
and prizes are particularly objection
able.” '
“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 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 ? The pupil hfrho enters
life with the notion that rjiaterial re-,
