These courses include dramatics, public speaking, argumentation, and radio speech. Dramatics is the study of the theater, the history of drama, and the principles of act- ing. Part of the course is a play tournament in which all students take part in the production of one-act plays. The argumentation and public speaking courses include the study of parliamentary procedure, the principles of debating, and public discussion. Radio speech is the study of the vocational possibilities of radio, radio production, scripts, and the public Speech finder get logetloer to di.s'm.r.r 14'0rla' ajffairf.

Reid teaches public speaking and radio speech and has charge of the junior Class Play, Miss Cecil Stark, who has charge of the Senior Class Play, teaches dramatics. The speech clinic, which has recently been set up in Proviso under the supervision of the Illinois Department of Handicapped Children, is for the correction of speech defects. C. E. A. Moore, who is in charge of this clinic, has handled several hundred major and minor cases this year. Since poise and clear speech are so necessary, this de- partment, under the direction of M. W. Immel, fills an important need in education. Puffin the jifzger 011 em, 110 dank!! M. W. Immel, Min Reid, C . E. A. Moore, and Milf Smrk dirczfifr Jpeefb de,Im1'f191e17f lflroblemf. Page 24

Creative and newswriting courses give training of value for work on publications, secretarial English emphasizes the skills of writing necessary in the business world. Classroom libraries of books for study and leisure read- ing, current magazines, and dictionaries broaden the scope of knowedge in all classes. Through the use of the radio. phonograph, motion picture, and newspapers, the classroom becomes a laboratory, not only for speech and composition, but also for an interpretation of personal and social prob- lems of today.
