- 203: Languages In High School
- ... begin in elementary grades, children would have more years to practice and learn the language. It is ridiculous that teenagers are expected to speak a foreign language fluently after two to four years of high school language classes. More time is needed to comprehend and absorb a language to the point where it can be spoken fluently. Therefore, it is necessary for foreign language education to begin much earlier than in high school. Furthermore, foreign language education would be much more effective if were taught at elementary grade levels because children are more likely to practice the language. They are less likely to feel uncomfortable speaking in a ... ensue in an elementary language class.

- 206: Blind Idealism In Twain's "War Prayer" and Howell's "Editha"
- Blind Idealism In Twain's "War Prayer" and Howell's "Editha" Mark Twain and William Dean Howells are friends and contemporary authors of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century.

Twain and Howells uses this historical event as a source for their respective literary works, "War Prayer" and "Editha". The authors' common purpose in these stories is to critically expose the ideology encompassing America's self-proclaimed right of expansionism, and to awaken the idealists' understanding as to the global consequences of their actions. While both stories attempt to challenge the idealistic glory of war and realistically unmask the unavoidable devastation, suffering and death, each author adopts a distinctive literary approach. In "War Prayer", Mark Twain appeals to the moral and religious conscience of the nation, urging the populace to look deeply into the devastation of war. Twain uses a religious congregation to portray the idealistic populace. The ...

To make it possible to fulfil this obligation, all non-private education through secondary (or "high") school is publicly funded.
