These were built primarily around episodes of a patriotic nature in American history and dramatic phases of the current struggle for democracy.-H. T. Cox, Principal.16. In keeping with the war effort, the purpose of the English-speech class in the high school in Asheville, North Carolina is to impress upon seniors their obligations as citizens of a democracy. Pupils are made conscious of democratic procedures. Also, they are made appreciative of their heritage through a study of the American constitution and the meaning of the American freedoms. This study culminated with several speech activities. Some pupils wrote orations on the constitution and others made extemporaneous speeches on various phases of democratic principles.
