[A Popular Schoolgirl by Angela Brazil]@TWC D-Link bookA Popular Schoolgirl CHAPTER XI 21/23
The test of a school is not how many show pupils it has turned out, but how _all_ its pupils are prepared to face the world.
I think we can only do this by sticking together and trying to help each other.
In every community, however, there must be leaders. An army would soon go to pieces without its officers! The prefects and wardens have been chosen as leaders, and it ought to be a point of honor with you to uphold their authority.
I assure you they don't work for their own good, but for the good of the school.
I hear it is a grievance with the juniors that they mayn't elect wardens for the Council. Well--they shall do that when they're older; it will be something for them to look forward to! There's a privilege, though, that we can and will give them.
