NO PRIZES FOR GUARD WORK.
FRIENDS OF THE CLUB: What do you think OF
the prize idea? Are tender Juveniles attending
school. that need TO be spurred to honorable
diligence and perseverance,?
Would this not breed and develop the spirit OF
inordinate rivalry and jealousy, rather than friend
ship and loyalty? If won prize l might nat
uraly feel That deserved it. but brother or sister
In New England, Pennsylvania Ohio Missouri or
California might conscientousiy be OF the opinion
that least deserved IT.
In my opinion prize giving would ne seriously
detrimental in various ways in vast learned
and progressive club as the G. c. Guards. For
me pledge more unswersing loyalty under the old
regime than the proposed new. Our fidelity to our
pledges should not become matter of pecuniary
Inducements.
Would you not a hundredfold rather have tho
quiet uuannoyBg approval of your fellows for your
nieritorious work than alfthe pearls or rubies THE
NATIONAL TRIBUNE can hestow?
We're yon TO receive the prize, would you be
assuming enough to think that it were because of
your superior merits and loyalty instead OF the
misfortune Of others, aud ,..fhaps more compe-
tent than you TO give III Il time to writing half
original essays, cooking and love recipes, etc, be-
they had To- battle for food, raiment and edu-
cation? don't think ons G. c. Guard is so pinch
eddy minded. Thens what is the object i'll Offering
prizes fit for Juveniles than the loyal thinking
men aud women tina, constitute the Guards
Let Us have late, original. meaty, Interesting
letters from all but less contributions OF useless
wordy chestnuis. 1sef
Further let us leave the matter of selection
wholly to our good and tried Editor who alone
is Ia position to do the greatest good for the
greatest number Do your duty, reject ali manner
OF prizes with patriotic pride, and be bIest. Yours,
