Cobruml (n u.s.a. 0; Mn. Tobe: thaw, (on.of the words already given us by the poet, either in print or in manuscript. Before going more deeply into the matter let it be admitted at once that the great and lasting good achieved by the Festival movement is not the aggrandisement of any particular individual or group of individuals acclaimed as winner. Without doubt it is a fine thing to see one's name, or the name of a pupil, at the head of the list, but it is only a fine thing when it is clear that the general standard of endeavour is mounting ever higher and higher. Now, to the intelligent observer, there is no doubt that the great lowerer of standard is selfishness, or a short-sighted self-interest which exploits the wealth of the poet's gift for the sake of personal show. Perhaps this is putting the case too severely. This exploitation is rarely done consciously it arises almost always from want of thought, and it is just in the hope of eradicating the want of thought in the first instance that these pages have come to be written.

Excerpt from The Art of the Spoken Word, Vol. 12
"For me, though I cannot say that I am utterly untrained in those rules which best rhetoricians have given, or unacquainted with those examples which the prime authors of eloquence have written in any learned tongue, yet true eloquence I find to be none other than the serious and hearty love of truth, and whose mind so ever is filled with the fervent desire to know good things, and with the dearest charity to infuse the knowledge of them into others, when such a one would speak, his words, by what I can express, like so many nimble and airy servitors, trip about him at command, and in well ordered files, as he would wish, fall aptly into their own places." John Milton.
It is doubtful if one could find a better text for a short dissertation on the subject of Interpretative Speech; indeed, Milton's words seem to be sufficient in themselves for sermon as well as text. To the experienced artist, surveying his work by the light of many years of endeavour, no further word is necessary; but to the beginner and to the young teacher, certain of Milton's phrases might be presented in greater detail and with homely illustration in such a manner as might lead to their appreciation by all, instead of being the joy of the few only who are privileged to understand their true significance.
