“The House That Quality Euilt”
SOUTHEASTERN ALASKA
RHETORICA LCONTEST
By Jonathan H. Wagner
Editorial note.—Jonathan H.
Wagner is the Chief of the Alas
ka Division of the Bureau of
Education and the above is a
part of a monthly bulletin sent
out from the Seattle office of
the Division.
-o
During the school year of
1927-28 notice was given to all
principal teachers in Southeast
ern Alaska to stress oral English
in their classes. They were ask
ed to hold a local elimination
rhetorical contest at the close
of school last April. All teach
ers complied. The local cham
pion was to represent his school
at the District Contest to be
held at the time of the Annual
Brotherhood Convention. The
reason Sitka was chosen for the
contest was that the pupils se
lected to represent their schools
would have free transportation
to the Convention with the de
legates of the Brotherhood and
Sisterhood. In former years,
District Contests, of whatever
nature, have been most difficult
to hold because of the difficulty
in transporting the contestants
to some central meeting place,
but now, since each village has
its local Brotherhood and Sis
terhood Camps, the problem is
solved.
The Brotherhood has taken a
real Interest in promoting local
contests. Some of them have
offered prizes for the best local
speaker at the end of the school
year. The results have shown
a great improvement in the
clear and correct English used
in and about the schools. This
is the goal desired.
Ten schools sent delegates to
Sitka to contest for the District
prizes. They were as follows:
Haines, Elsie Perrin, Hoonah,
Haines, Elsie Perrin;
Hoonah, Vivian Shakely.
Hydaburg, Daisy Skillie.
Juneau, Frank See.
Kake, Samuel K. Grant.
Klawock, Charles Demmert, Jr.
Klukwan, Eva Hotch
Metlakatla, Bertrand Leask.
Petersburg, Helen Marks.
Sitka, George A. Lewis.
The Grand camp of the Alas
ka Native Brotherhood selected
the judges, who were Dr. James
H. Conditt, Rev. Webster, both
of Sitka and Mrs. William L.
Paul, Ketchikan. These judges
were directed to consider three
points only, which were based
on the International Oratoric
al Contest Rules: First, the per
sonal appearance and com
manding platform presence of
speaker; second, the correct
enunciation and expression of
the English Language; and
third, the moving power or|
“thrill” produced by the speak
er.
The first prize was awarded
to George A. Lewis of Sitka who
delivered “Liberty” by Rogers,
second place was awarded Chas.
Demmert of Klawock who gave
“The Plaint of the Camel” by
Carryl; and the third prize was
awarded to Frank See of Ju
neau who delivered “Hats Off,
the Flag is Passing By.”
The Sitka Camp of the Alas
The second prize went to Chas.
ka Native Brotherhood has erect
ed a new hall. It is the largest
and the finest hall in the city of
Sitka. Into it some eight hun
dred people were crowded for
the Rhetorical Contest. Chil
dren from the city school were
present, also pupils from the
Sheldon Jackson School as well
as all from the Bureau of Edu
cation School. All these as
well as the delegates and visit
ors from the seventeen cities
and towns of Southeastern Alas
ka, listened with rapt atten
tion to each representative
speaker. Nothing before of this
nature had ever been tried. Ev
ery one was delighted with the
clear and forceful delivery of
the selections, and all were in
complete agreement with the
decision of the judges.
It is the plan to continue the
Am n u a 1 Rhetorical Contests.
Teachers will have more incen
tive to secure accurate and free
use of the English language in
each daily class period. They
will also have an incentive for
the closing exercises of the
school year with an exhibition
of pupils in oral delivery who
.have made definite progress
! during the school year.
IS IT GOOD BYE?
Bartley Howard, the poor tool
of the plunderbund crowd of
tommy cats, is reported as going
south to take care of some plac
er interests in Canada.
Bartley kept faith with the
Juneau political crooks expect
ing t6 be well paid, politically.
Like many others he got the
leavings which was worse than
nothing.
