[To the Editor of THE SPECTATOR.] SIR, — As it is quite
obvious to all that there are good and bad., wise and foolish, intelligent and stupid amongst those both- under and over thirty, it is difficult to see what possible interest the articles entitled " The Voice of Under Thirty can be to readers of The Spectator, or that any useful object can be attained by publishing them. The officious and arrogant young gentleman who contributed the first of this series of articles should realise that his views and opinions represent nothing more than what he himself thinks about any particular subject, and are no indication whatever of the general outlook of those under thirty, as there is no such thing as a general or typical outlook of those under or over thirty. Each man's • opinions are his own, and he has no right to suppose that they represent those of others of his own age. I hope that you will see your way to publish these few remarks.—Yours, &c.,
