SINGING TOO YOUNG
GIRLS IN COMPETITIONS REMARKS MADE BY JUDGE "Actual harm is being done by allowing a girl of this age to sing publicly," said Mr. Ernest Jenner at the Christchurch competitions, when commenting on the class for girls between the ages of 12 and 14 years. "I feel I must recommend to the committee the dangerous possibilities in permitting a girl to use her voice at such a critical stage," said Mr. Jenner. "It would be far better to delete such sections from the programme altogether." He added that of the 20 who had sung before luni at the preliminary, only two had properly-produced voices. The other IS should never have entered.
