Report of Bupt fl H ?dmunde to
Board of Education
1 reopectfully recommend n tempo
rery suspension off ihn rolle of
honor Thin matter it one tbnt
has oaoeed mnoh thought; for there
ie mnoh to be aaid on each aide.
We have bad the system ever einoe
the eoboole were eetobltobed and I
have therefore bad an opportunity of
taking oarefol notion of its operation.
1 ahall briefly eel forth my reaeooa for
making this recommendation The
honor roll system doee not accomplish
what it ie intended to do Ita par
poee Ie to incite the papila to a higher
effort to oaose them to be more faith?
ful in doing their doty. The troth
ie, however, that it aota ae an incen?
tive to few, a discouragement to
seany Iq determining whether a
paptl'e name ie to have a plaoe on
the roll of honor we have to he gov?
erned by reeolta. nod thia frequently
werke a hardship to tboae whoee
effort though faithful doea not eooom
ptioh enough to entitle them to a
plaoe upon the roll of honor. Thoae
p+eile wboae oamee oocnr upon the
roll of honor from quarter to quarter
and from year to year would be very
likely lo work juet aa hard, were there
no roll of honor, and If they do not
it will reveal the fact that their seal
thsw been iaepired not by a trie cense
of duty hot by an unnatural and un
whplaaqmi deeire for a reward
While wa emphaaiae aa mnoh ae
we ceo the mentel training of oar
Bwptte. still we roelrae, I iWsk, that
eaaraoter building should be oar
chief aim To thia end we attempt
aoeliawmate thoae tbiaga that prevent
the development of thoae character,
ietioe that are the marks of a beaut i
fhl obareoter. Thia it oar end; to
aay that we had attained it would be
fwfcfog par ideal very low. In our
effort howerer to reach thia we wich
taw papila to rid themselves of thoae
peaty jeeiooeiee that belittle aod mar
owa'w character la the honor rolh
ayetem I em afraid that this jealousy
may be ofteo found among the pupils,
thie envy of which the papila them.
oaay wot be coneoions, bat
which nevertheleee leevee a blight
apon the oherecter. Another meoaoe
to ober acter developmeat ie the eelf
oomplaoeccy that the regular attain
meat of the honor roll ie likely to
engender No special example in
oar school suggests Iteelf to my mind;
bat eaob ie the effect to be leered?
iUaetrated by that college graduate of
onoof the higher inetitntionc of learn?
ing in England who when eakad open i
hie graduation what he intended to ,
do replied that aa he had received
the big heat honors of hie institution ,
that ha foil that little elee waa left i
to be doee. Oar effort ie to impreee
apon oar popiie when they complete
lew cooree of our eobool that they ,
kave really oaly juet begun their ,
?ducation. Any system, therefore, ,
that would leeeeo thie impreeeion (
would not an obstacle in the wey of ,
sot endeavor to prepare oor pupite |
for real life
It the system of the honor roll a ,
peptl tc likely to tbiak so mach of tbs (
BOtor roll itsslf as to lose sight of tbs
?bttgattoes that rest op n him to do bis
laty (or duty's sake. Of coarse we do
act oineet tbs little papila to bate a
proper oooeep'ioo of do'y'; bat in this
rsspsct as ie all others the child's life ie
of development and if we begin right
the probabilities arc that by a gradual
proeeee of evolution these abstrset qnea
tions of duty end rigbr will be tuure then
likely to ssttle themselves prop rly It
would eeem from this that I do oot
fseor rewards Soob. howevor, is oot
the ceee ; for tbey oao be made helpful
and iospiriog ; but tbey must be
oataral aod be given upon tbe basis of
ao rqaal obaooe. Ooe who works
faithfully aod accomplishes little ie
entitled to a greater reward tbao ooe
who does mach with little effort, eod yet
the system most have a etaodard aod
tbe ooly steodard that ie practicable is
ooe of reealte. 1 favor ao equitable
distribution of rewards; ooe that is ao
ioeptratioo to many, a discouragement
to aooe. In order to attaio thie just
diatriootioo one's attention is to be
directed to the iodividoal Ooe gentle
man has promised $1 to hie eon every
time he reaehee tbe roll of honor This
dollar oould be given upon the preeonta
tioo >f ao excellent report from bis
teacher. Thus tbe boy would be eo
oouragei and hie good fortune oould pro
duoo oo heartaehe in another little
fellow equally faithful, but oot so apt.
In this way a teacher knowiog the
abtlitiee of the different pupils may
advise rewords at homo for effort rather
for attainment. It will also briag tbe
pareot nearer tbe aehool, eod hie judg
moot will be eieroieed in determining
whether bis child oegbt to be rowardsd
by him io aoy way or not.
Another consideration is one of
health 8o oervouo and wrought up
I do obildreu become?eapeoially tbe
girls?ovsr tbe qceetion whether they
may or may not attain the roll of honor
that their health appears to suffer
therefrom
While I realise that this is a big
qoeatioo aod ooe ooooeroicg wbieb
muob oao be eaii oo eaob aide, 1 am
yet eooatreiocd by a aeoae of i uty to
rcqaeat that tbe ayatem bo euspaodud
for at least ooe yeer until wo oao give
the other sids a fair teat

I think the honor roM system a good
one, in that it awakses interest, pro?
motes ambition and kasps alive a
healthy rivalry. Ooe disadvantage is*
however, that it is discouraging to some
pepils eho oao nover roaeb tbe required

Advantages?They aot as incentives

Pupils do not work from highest mo

duty is oot quickened. Tbsy should
be trained to do right for right's sake.

I do eot tbiek it perfectly just be?

degree of sxoollsose.

That it has material advaetagaa is, I
believe, a feet. . From a moral stand?
point, however, it it, I believe, more
ibao equally disadvantageous, for shiU
