There was no justification for New Zealanders getting the inferiority complex, remarked Mr. B. Brown when returning thanks for his Election as president of the Wellington Competitions Society. The Wellington competitions, he said, were the most important in the world. Their number of entries, 3099, was the highest number in the world Ballarat’s highest number had been 2504. He also said that the standard of work in the elocutionary classes was as high as any in the world, and he spoke as one who had heard competitions in all parts of the world. The prize-winners he had heard in English competitions would never get a second look-in in New Zealand competitions.
