Prizes to Children
Sir. —That a prize or prizes should be given for the best, most antique and grotesque fancy dress at a children's bail should be abolished; rather give each child a sweet or a balloon or nothing. The children are disappointed who do not get a prize for their make-up, and what child does not think he or she is tiie best. Prize giving makes the children greedy, selfish and “me first” and gloat over their supposed victory. The judges should absolutely be strangers or outsiders. Yours, etc., "MOTHER JANE”.
