lonors of the world are not to be de-
sired above the rich reward of ones
own conscience, and then In our
schools post a prize that gives the lie
o every principle Of living we teach.
No makeshift to stimulate industry
an ever take the place OF pride in the
excellence of performance, OF JOY in
achievement for the works own sake.
School is preparation for after life,
and habits of thought and the view
OF life one acquires in the school
room are apt to remain with one,
more or less modified, until death.
All credit is due to those, who see
ing the pfize, worked for 1t honestly
and diligently. They will be reward
ed finally, not In accordance with the
grade they made, but in proportion to
he effort they put forth. And those
who plucked the honors richly de-
serve the pleasure 1t gives them; but
the real benefit will be measured to
them as it is measured TO those who
strove and failed.

The indications seem now to point
to Taft's nomination on the first bal
lot; it is possible the roll call will
never be completed. But what is OF
more interest, the indications also
point to his nomination on some
other ballot, II not on the first. Here
tofore it has been widely asserted that
IL Taft failed on the first ballot his
cause would be lost. But now il be-
gins to appear that he will be In a
position to gain votes If the balloting
is protracted. each Of the opposing
candidates being supported by delega-
tons more or less weak kneed, and
no other candidate having anything to
speak of but local strength.-Omaha
World-HeraId (Dem).
The results of recent Republican
conventions in a number of states
offer nothing but encouragement to
the candidacy of Secretary Taft for
the presidential nomination, and he
now seems assured of receiving the
honor on an early ballot. 1t was con-
ceded from the time Secretary Taft
said "hands off" to his friends in
."favorite sons" states that such states
would declare for their own candi-
dates, but they have all done so in
such a way as to show that the secre-
tary has strong friends on their dele

THE REAL REWARD

Taking no side in the question of
awarding honors to the High school
graduates of '0S, The Sun is inclined
to consider the system as rather per-
hicious in its tendency, even though
honestly carried out. The only merit
in 1t is the idea of stimulating pupils
TO friendly rivalry in their studies,
and yet, so far as we know the only
pupils in this class of ~ who strove
for the honors were the three on
whom the honors were conferred. II
that is so, not only does the honor
system fail in its very object. but it
must have deleterious effect on some
pupils. who might reason that as far
as honors are concerned. they will
receive no more credit than the back
ward pupil, who barely escapes
"funking"
Necessarily the three winners must
be among the brightest pupils in the
class. There may be some Just as
keen of intellect, who don't take an
interest in the honors, or who through
sickness or some other cause were
prevented from competing; but the
dullard cannot possibly have a show.
Herein, the system fails, because the
dull pupil is the one that needs the
education and training most, and that
most should be stimulated to exert
his utmost effort. Yet he, work as he
may, sees the prize in school going to
someone, who works no harder. but
is more highly endowed, and right in
the beginning of life he Is brought to
realization that the conspicuous
honors go to the brighter minds. and
he may be discouraged and ruined
for usefulness in after life.
Pupils in the public school should
BE taught to strive after excellence
dn work, not for material rewards,
but for the satisfaction the work itself
brings. Under the honor system two
or three are encouraged to strive in
bitterness of heart for the glory of
name. There is then nothing left with
which to stimulate the other pupils.
The faculty has offered the three
honors as the rewards of diligence.
The honors naturally are accepted by
the pupils as the ultimate object OF
their work In school, and failing to
secure them they are to be pardoned
for regarding their school work as
failure.
We constantly endeavor to incul-
cate In children the idea that material
