Prize Essayists.
PORTRAITS OF THE WINNERS.
General Interest Manifested in School
Circles Throughout the State by

The CALL is now ready to announce the
result of the San Francisco school-essay

ject Of The Discovery of America by Co.
lumbus"
The San Francisco contest closed on the
1st inst, and essays arriving after date had
to be rejected. The fact that many such
did arrive spoke volumes for the interest
felt in these literary competitions among
the schools.
In fact San Francisco may we'll be proud
Of her girl and boy essayists.
An Unexpectedly large number of ESSAYS
were received. and although they varied
widely in merit the general standard at
Lained was so high as to deserve emphatic
cOmmendation. English composition is by
no means neglected in the city schools, and
teachers may be proud of the fruitfulness
Of their efforts in this direction,
But good teaching Is useless without good
material to work upon. The ground must
be rich before it will csuse the seed 10 ger
inmate, and ground, seed and sewers being
au ready II silll needs the presentation of an
incentive to produce the highest results
Such an incentive The CALL is providing
IN these essay contests. The CALLS offer
OF money prize for the best essays by
school-ehildren of the various cities of the
State was just tue impetus needed to de-
velOp latent literary effort.
The actual coin in itself was not necessa-
rlly regarded, but each prize represented so
much real tangible reward and evidence Of
merit As one of San Jose's priZe essay
writer's in an interview given hereafter ex-
pressed it:
Il think TIE CALLS cffer splendid one,
not because l won one of the prizes, but be-
eanse 1t was great benefit to all of us.
gu see you can't help but work harder
when there is an incentive, such as prlze."
Such is the general experience of human
nature. TOO, and The CALL is pleased to
note that its efforts to stimulate literary
ambition is receiving the cordial indoIse-
ment OF parents and teachers throughout
the State.
Besides the announcement of the San Fran
cisco prize essayists to be found hereafter,
evidences will also be observed of the inter-
est taken IN the prior contest in San Jose.
Excellent portraits of the prize winners are
also presented, and it is proposed TO follow
the same course in future issues with the
winners in other cities
