Perhaps something of this kind was in the mind of

the anonymous head of an English school who has been offer- ing a prize of £100 for the best " lesson " in the form of an essay explaining the peace principles of Sir Norman Angell. The judges are to be Professor Gilbert Murray, the Headmaster of Rugby, Sir Philip Gibbs and Sir Norman himself. It is a pity that there is not as much peace propaganda in other countries as in this. Why are no prizes offered to students in German, French and Italian schools for essays on " The Great Illusion " ?
