Sir, —With the annual school breaking ups at hand I am sure all pupils (and adults, too) have the heartfelt thanks of the head boy in the institution who protested against long speeches, and also the Press who backed him up. Speeches at functions are a “necessary evil,” and for that reason should be as brief as possible. Nothing is more boring to pupils than to have to sit while speakers ramble on well knowing that the only listeners are the “press.” “20TH. CENTURY.” It is incorrect to assert that any head boy protested against long speeches. The head boy made a good speech which was the best protest.—Editor, 1 ‘ ('hroniclc. ” (Further Correspondence on Page 11.)
