Is Baden-Powell's Name Correctly Pronounced?
To the Editor. Sir,-I note in the current number of the "Radio Record" that a correspondent styling himself "Oxford," in referring to what he calls "swank" -from 2YA’s an-
a nouncer, says that he is not certain about the correct pronunciation of BadenPowell. May I be permitted to remark that Lord Baden-Powell pronounces his name as "Baden-Poel," and not as the average person would pronounce it, i.e., "BaidenPowel." I noticed this in the course of one of the Chief Scout’s speeches, in which he referred to "Lady Baden-Powell and myself."-I am, ete.,
Wellington.
