WHAT ELOCUTION MEANS

COMPETITION JUDGE ON THE AIR “I am pleased to be back in these scenes of pleasant memories, for it was in Auckland that I received my first lesson in elocution,” said Mr. Harry Borradale in a lecturette on the competition movement as an education factor, delivered from IYA last evening. Mr. Borradale, announcer for the Brisbane station 4QG, who is a wellknown elocutionist, is to adjudicate at the Auckland Competitions Society’s festival at the Town Hall next week. To many, elocution means mere reciting, stated Mr. Borradale, whereas it actually includes voice culture and the acquiring of confidence in public appearances. Affectation, which is encouraged by many teachers, should be avoided. Competitions are beneficial in that they introduce good literature and music to the children and through them to the public, continued the lecturer. They induce a liking for study and an incentive to work, while the competitive spirit develops character. Mr. Borradale held,that the Auckland Competitions Society has done good work in this direction.
