(_WITH A VIEW TO CARRYING OUT THE SUGGESTION OF THE INSTITUTE OF
JOURNALISTS._)

1. What are the principal duties of an Editor? State what you would do
if you were visited by bores of the following kinds:--(1), a friend;
(2), an enemy; (3), a proprietor.

2. Show how a political article may be written, saying as little as
possible in the greatest amount of space? Give specimens of "writing
round a subject" without offending susceptibilities.

3. What are the duties of a Dramatic Critic? Show, by a specimen
article, how a critique of a bad play, indifferently performed, can
yet be made to give satisfaction to the Author, the Manager, the
Company, and the Public?

4. What are the duties of a Special Correspondent at a Seat of War?
Give a short descriptive article of a battle written in such a manner
that the readers of your paper may learn everything without your
getting shot as a spy, or drummed out of camp as an informer.

5. What are the duties of a Reviewer? Describe the process of
log-rolling, and give specimen of notices of books:--(1), when the
Author is your friend, but you object to the Publisher; (2), when you
hate the writer, but must not offend the gentleman whose name appears
as the distributor, and (3), when you know nothing of the volume
and its producer, but suspect that the Author reviews for another
periodical, and that you may possibly get an order from his literary
introducer.
