Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

In the decade (1920-1930) that followed numerous textbooks as such appeared for the teacher of speech, and courses in public speaking were added to high school curriculums in many states.

In Kentucky, in 1929, the State Department of Public Education advised and urged the high schools to add this course to their curriculum and to encourage all students to take it.

Nearly all the Smith-Hughes High Schools, which were established in 1917, require training in public speaking.
