Well said, Professor Escoffery of the University of the West Indies Department of Pathology. There is much to be desired as one listens to public speakers each day.

Just a few days ago, there was a suggestion of forming a school of journalism with Mutty Perkins as its head. It would suit Jamaica and Jamaicans well to learn a few things from this brilliant and well spoken individual. Put aside the criticism, cynicism and let us be schooled in a proper way. A few other hands that would be good on the table are persons such as Ronnie Thwaites, Sir Howard Cooke, and P.J. Patterson, among others. These individuals have set the trend in speaking and communicating thought, feelings, ideas in the most diplomatic and correct ways.

Certainly, it is going to take some good lecturers, teachers and masters of the English language that will bring back decency to the universal language. Jamaica would do well with grammar and grammarians.

I am, etc.,
