THE SUNDAY STAR WASHINGTO MAY 11, 1930—PART ONE. [T S ————y i ot . SN . S Conveniet Defred Peymed nniversar CHANGE PRASED " Extemporaneous Speaking| Seen Help to Quick, Logical Thinking. National Oratorical heldqallmrl here says it has been deluged’ for several vweeks with communieations from all por- twns of the country expressing gratifi- cation at the change in the contest pro- cedure effected by its extemporaneous feature inaugurated this year. Heretofore the competition has been principally based on diction, enuncia- tion, voice and eloquent delivery to- gether with facility of composition and expression after long and deliberate thought.

Topics for Speeches. Mr. Leigh has been careful to provide such toples for extemporaneous speeches throughout the seven zones of the con- ‘Thus, it will be probable that these who survive the preliminary stages ani come to Washington for the na- tional finals May 24 will have prepared speeches that are clear and historically accurate as well as eloguent. ‘The majority of the subjects assigned the zone finals have been taken ily from the contestants’ orations when possible embody statements in vague and general terms.
