The dull pupil, to whom school prizes
have been only unattainable dreams,
has at last received some recognition.
A teacher in the Boys High School of
Brooklyn has initiated the plan OF Civ
ing prizes, not for eminence of attain
ment, but for general improvement.
This method. instead Of being based on
the pupils competition with his fell
lows, is grounded in his competition
with himself. 1t assumes that 1t is
more OF an honor to gain prize for
steady improvement, which means
faithful and persistent work, than to
gain one for high percentage of
scholarship, which may be the result
G? great natural ability. It Is hoped
that the encouragement may lessen the
number of pupils-nearly one-third-
who now drop out of the high schools
before the completion Of the course.
