Birmingham, Ala., the on school in the United States to w representation in the national finals oy the oratorical contest two years i1 successfon, has, at the request of the national director, outlined the factor: which he belleves c ; _responsible j for this remarkable record. In his letter he stresses the impor tance of the literary clubs and the cumulative value of having th speeches delivered before the studen body and copies of the speeches di: tributed among pupils. Incidental he points to the modest and manl: spirit of the national champlon las year, Robert Sessions, and emphasizes the value ot the contest for his entir school. The 18tter, which should prove help- ful to teachers and principals | schools throughout the United State in promoting the contest among thei own puplls, follows: Causes of Success. “It should go without saying that Phillips High School s proud of the fact that during the first two years of the National Oratorical Contes: & student from this school has repre- sented the South in the Washington finals. No single reason can be glven for the -:pxendld achievement of these two v men, Jack Turner and umm( Scasions The causes for the of each are numerous. The cellent instruction received in his. tory, the high school course, the training secured In oratory and debate in the literary societles, the assistance re- cefved in the expression classes di- rected by Miss Lella May Smith, the earnest conscfentious effort exerted by the young men themselves, and last, but far from least. the fine inter- est and encouragement shown by the home; all these were factors in bring- ing about the success attained. “For years Phillips High School has sponsored many literary clubs within the school. Through this means un- usual interest has been maintained in the study of the problems of the day. Puplls have had an opportunity to express their thoughts, and have been encouraged to speak freely and ear- nestly. Thus the discovery of hidden power is made easy and the club #pon- have an opportunity to as. '( in levelopment. T attribute mu of the school's success to the club Ille within its walls. Conducting of Contest. “T suppose our plan of conducting the contest is essentially the same as that used In many other high schools. The coniest was outlined before the entire school and those de- representing the school where asked to register with the teacher of expres- sion. After the orations were writ- ten each contestant was given all the individual attention that the teacher in public speaking could afford. The finalists within the school on ,the date scheduled gave their orations hefore the entire student body, about 2,000. A profound impression was undoubtedly made upon the audi- ence. The speeches provoked helpful thought anA discussion. The oration of the winner was printed and copies distributed to the students. “Robert Sessions will be graduated this June. .Permit me to say here that the frank, modest, manly spirit of this youth will long be remembered in this school and held as one of its finest aseets. “The results of the national ora- torical contest in this school have most assuredly created a greater love for country and a higher respect for law and governmen TRAFFIC CASES INCREASE.
