Known as Writer Among
Pupils i'm Holland.

Henri Van Hoof. the smiling young
Dutchman, who last night took the
world oratorical championship from the
United States to Holland, is a writer
as well as speechmaker, in his school.
at Overveen, near HARLEM, in the lano
of dykes.
A student at The Roman Catholic
Lyceum, Henri is one of the most pro-
life writer's in that institution. He has
produced voluminous essays, and papers
on various topics, running the gamut
of school life from athletic field to
scientific subjects. AS matter of
fact, Henri is determined to become a
journalist and he is directing his studies
at the Lyceum toward that goal. He Is
particularly proficient in history and
ciyics and these have furnished mate
rial for many of his writings.
Young Van Hoof has the distinction
of being the first contestant in the in
ternational oratory finals from Holland.
Whereas, Germany, France, England
and Ireland have regularly sent their
best high-school speechmakers to Wash
ington to seek world honors, Holland
decided to enter the forensic fray for
the first time this year.
When he returns to his homeland the
young Dutchman will take with him
not only the silver trophy, which was
presented last night, but the champion
ship, which last year was won by Ed
mund Gullion, Western High Schoo.

him and to have him autograph pro-
grams for his excited admirers. As a
matter Of fact, fully 80 minutes elapsed
before the champion could be dragged
from the stage in Constitution Hall to
an anteroom where photographers were
waiting to make his picture with the
German Ambassador, FRIEDRICH Won
Prittwitz und Gaffron.
When finally the. boy was thrust
through the mob into the arms of the
photographers he was given hearty
slap on the back by the German diplo-
mat, who had waited patiently for him,
while some che: else thrust q six-inch
Turkish cigarette into his grasping. I'm
gers.
The young Dutchman pulled like a
veteran on the smartly shaped flag and
would relinquiSh it to a reporter only
long enough for camera shutters to
click. When the picture-taking was over
Van Hook seized his cigarette and
smoked 1t calmly, while he prepared to
face his admirers in the corridor out
side Another hour elapsed before the
champion, bedraggled but happy, was
allowed to leave the hall.

enthusis sticalfy by the people. In re-
turn. she has shown great love and
sorrows have been her sorrows, their
joys her joys. On her birthday, when
She passes through the streets. every one
wears an orange decoration and cheers
her, not only as the queen, but as
true daughter Of our own House OF
Orange.
Then every Netherlander glows with
pride and each breathes in his heart
the prayer: so may 1t ever be; Orange
and Holland, together" They watch
the queen ride past with joy; they love
her for her simplicity. In the Neither
lands, the constitutional monarchy
moderates the passionate partisan strife
that so often flercely RACES in other
lands. Despite themselves, each party
regards it as a symbol Of solidarity and
loyalty. Holland has found the tran
quillity afforded by freedom under the
rule of these two queens. Ali our hopes
for the future are fixed upon the young
est scion of the House of Orange
Princess Juliana. Some day she will
be obliged to take over her mothers
task.
These three women have won the
hearts of the Dutch. Because it Is a
woman who reigns, the duty Of pro-
tecting her Is especially sacred to the
men of Holland 1t is our duty to act
like men of Orange, and that means
that we must be willing to tight, at the
cost CT our lives If need be, for the
freedom and prosperity Of our dear
kingdom.
