THE ENTOMOLOGIST’S WEEKLY INTELLIGENCER. 
rule I consider it advisable, in all 
cases of competition, that there should 
he several small prizes in addition to 
any that may he offered for the few 
likely to stand foremost. It brings 
many more candidates into the field, 
who would otherwise hang back under 
the conviction that they had no chance, 
hut who would he pleased with the 
idea of their possibly carrying off a 
prize however small. Of course there 
should he a minimum degree of merit 
to he attained, or no prize should be 
awarded. * * * * * I have no 
doubt that small prizes of hooks or 
apparatus, for all who attain definite 
numbers of merit-marks at botanical 
examinations in schools, would elicit 
much work out of many who would 
not think of contending for one or two 
chief prizes.”
