DELIGHTFUL SPEECH
Praise for Queenslanders Archbishop Mannix, of Melbourne, addressing school children, parents and clergy in Brisbane recently, referred to the delightful inode of speech in Queensland. "You have something,” he said, “which the children and people of Victoria and New South Wales do not possess. You have a softness in your pronouncement which is perfectly delightful. .“.In Sydney and Melbourne we are getting something like the wretched epekney accent. Queensland people have had their vocal organs shaped in a better mould. I hope they always keep that soft sound and modulation. If they do, whether Queensland becomes the premier State or not, they will have something to boast of.”
