SUGGESTS committee
ON USAGE OF WORDS
G. W. Professor Advocates U. S
Broadcasting Stations Follow
Lead of British.

American radio listeners might be
spared the 'simpering" and semi
ilhterate" pronunciationS which alto
gether too many announcers now in
fiict upon them" if broadcasting COM
panies in the United States would fol-
low the lead of the British in establish
ing an Advisory Committee on Spoken
English.
So thinks Prof. Harold F. Harding of
the department of public speaking OF
George Washington University. In an
address broadcast Thursday night Prof.
Harding suggested formation of such a
committee, composed of the editor OF
the great American dictionary now in
the making at the University of Chi
cago. Sir William Craigie, and a group
of distinguished speakers and scholars.
Prof Harding, who spent last sum
mer in England where he observed the
activities of the Advisory Committee on
Spoken English of the British Broad
casting Co., described the work of the
committee in setting forth for the use
of announcers the best usage with re-
spect to words of doubt pronunciation.
Phonograph recordings Of the voice
of Prof. Lloyd James. eminent British
phonetician, were interpolated in the
radio address to illustrate striking dif-
ferences in the British and American
pronunciation of certain words.
