" Prize Competitions The Prize in the October Competition is awarded to Torelore," proxime accessit, "Seacoal." The Winner in the September Competition was Mr. R. C. Knight, Oriel College, Oxford. The Winner in the August Competition was Mr. G. H. Hammond, 62 Park Road, Lytham, Lancs. "H.S.W.," who won the July Prize, was Mr. H. Swinburn Ward, 29 Dalesbury Road, Wandsworth Common, S.W. 17. We request competitors to note the regulation which requires that all versions shall be sent under a nom de guerre or initials, and only the prize-winner, or the proxime accessit, if necessary, shall send their names and addresses. When entries are accompanied by name and address, we cannot undertake to keep a record in case they may take first place. We classify the twenty-three versions received as follows: Mientras los hombres, individual o socialmente, se sienten fuertes y tienen fe en sí mismos, no se preguntan cómo son ni qué pueden hacer. Hacen, y eso les basta. Las horas de inquietud vienen con la decadencia, con el abandono en la confianza del propio esfuerzo. Cuando, ya decadentes, conservábamos la fe en nosotros mismos, eran los extranjeros quienes nos hacían el análisis y nos acusaban las faltas. Luego, nos dedicamos a analizarnos y acusarnos nosotros mismos; y también del extranjero llegaron las voces de consuelo y de ánimo. Por fin, ha sobrevenido la reacción, contra cuyos excesos, naturalmente, hay que vivir prevenidos, sobre todo en lo que puede afectar a la conducta presente. No se han borrado, sin embargo, en absoluto nuestro excepticismo respecto de todo lo pasado y nuestra propia espontánea hispanofobia que no es, a veces (justo es reconocerlo), sino el grito que levanta en las almas patriotas, deseosas del mayor bien y la mayor perfección posible, la comprobación de faltas, vacíos, inercias y errores pasados y presentes, y también el desaliento inicial del pecador que teme carecer de fuerzas para corregirse. TRANSLATED BY "TORELORE." As long as men, individually or collectively, feel themselves strong and have faith in themselves, they do not inquire what they are or what they can do. They do, and that is enough. The hours of disquiet come with decadence and with the loss of confidence in their powers. While, though already decadent, we retained our faith in ourselves, it was left to foreigners to analyse us and arraign our faults. Later, when we turned to analyse and accuse ourselves, it was from foreigners also that came the voice of consolation and encouragement. And now we are in the midst of the reaction, against the excesses of which we must of course be on our guard, especially in all that can affect our present conduct. But we have not entirely lost our scepticism regarding all our past history, and our spontaneous tendency to side against Spain, which, it is but fair to recognize, is in many cases only the outcome of the indignation aroused in patriotic minds, aspiring towards the highest good and the greatest degree of perfection, by the contemplation of past and present faults, deficiencies, indolence, and errors, and is due, perhaps, also to the initial discouragement of the sinner who fears that he has not the strength to reform. There were no poor versions this month; competitors in Class I ran each other very close; those in Class II went down from "A. J. O's" three mistakes to "L. E. C. M's" five and a half. " Embusqué" should have been in a class by himself, with seven mistakes, but we did not wish him to feel lonely. A little more study of Spanish will bring this reader nearer to the position he gained in the last French (Continued on page 824) REWARD BOOKS AT ESAVIAN HOUSE the E.S.A. has set apart a Bookroom which is quiet and comfortably furnished.
