Total Abstinence Teaching in Recitation and Story
Description
Billed as “stories for the adult to tell and the child to recite,” these selections were approved for the WCTU’s junior speech contests, which were intended for children aged nine to eleven years old. The booklet contains a list of rules for communities seeking to organize contests. For the convenience of readers seeking an appropriate selection, stories are organized in the table of contents according to their suitability for different contest levels. This collection demonstrates the evolution of elocution into children’s storytelling during the twentieth century.
