Next Week’s Competition

Next week’s competition is to be a story and illustration one. You may write about anything you like, but let it be something you really understand; and try, too, to give your story a New Zealand background. The illustration may also be of anything you please; but if you can combine the story and the illustration it will be best of all. Star points will be given for the best story and drawing, or for the best combination of story and drawing. Then, on May 8, we are going to have a Coronation Page, and I want you all to try very hard to think up stories for it: These stories can be quite, quite imaginary—in fact, the more you use your imaginations the better it will be. Don’t write just about the present King and Queen and what is happening in England now, but make everything just as different as you can —tell me what your ideas of coronations are and what you think coronations are like, in fairyland as well as in foreign countries. - This is where your imagination can be such a big help to you, and —oh, if you are celebrating at school in any special manner, write a paragraph about that, too. Put your thinking-caps on right away, everybody. This is to be an extraspeclally special page. KIWI.
