The Judges have found all the cont~stants eager to submit evidence conSidered necessary for a decision, and univer~Uy . enth~siast!c in their rivalry, yet C!lnd1d m d1scussmg their local situatiOns. In no case has there been shown any desire to gain any unfair advantages or to sway the decision of the judges by belittling the claims of other contestants. The sportmanship of the contestants has been above reproach. Th~ judges have tried to apply their tests m such a way that every community in the campaign has had an equal opportunity to secure the award. This has been the most difficult problem the judges have met. In considering each of the first nine sections of the score sheet, due weight was given to several fundamental elements : Score Sheet Fu......ntals 1-Tise stage of dftlelopme·ll which each community 1tas reached at tlu present time. This gives due credit to these communities which by reason of age, wealth, or other peculiarly favorable circumstances have highly developed methods of dealing with problems of child life. 2-The rate of progress at which each community is !)oing ahead at the presmt ·time. This gives due credit to the less highly developed towns which are, however, vigorously and successfully attacking their problems. The period of time considered was the campaign year just closed. The judges considered, also, the probability of continued interest in and future success in dealing with unsolved problems of child welfare. The judges believe that the aim of child welfare organizations is the de, velopment and training of all the children of the community to meet actual conditions of modem, IO(ial and economic life into which they will be thrown when they attain their majority and are required to assume the respoilSibilities of citizenship. . · Some we1ght was g1ven to the r~sponse of ibe town to the a.tw £ad.

Not Jafallit.le The application of Dr. McKeever's standards in the measurement of each community is the sole responsibility of the committee of judges. The judges make no claims to infallibility. There are many legitimate reasons for honest difference of opinion.
