THE COMPETITION
The Editor offers a prize of £5 for a suggestion for a new . competition.
THERE is one thing in particular on which we should like to know our readers' opinion. We have tried in the past to give
as varied competitions as possible. One time we have set a literary " competition; demanding some exercise of creative talent ; another time we have set a competition which offers
scope rather to selective or critical ability. We hope that the result of the present competition will allow us to gauge what kind of competition readers of the Spectator prefer on the whole. This does not mean that we intend to limit ourselves to any one type ; obviously we must try to appeal to all interests and qualities of mind. But it will be very useful to know whet the staple of our competition should be.
