Passage 1

By far the most horrible example of the social malaise of the 1920s was the revival of Ku Klux Klan. Like the predecessor of the Reconstruction days, the new Klan began as an instrument for repressing southern blacks. In the reactionary postwar period many white southerners set out to undo the gains blacks had made during the war years. Lynching increased in number; race riot broke out in a dozen cities in the summer and fall of 1919. The new Klan, founded in 1915 by William J. Simmons, a preacher, expanded rapidly in this atmosphere. From the start the Klan admitted only native born, white protestants to membership. The distrust of foreigners, Catholics, and Jews, implicit in the regulation burst into the open in the social climate that also spawned religious fundamentalism, immigration restriction, and prohibition. By 1923 it claimed the astonishing total of 5 million members.
The Klan had relatively little appeal in the Northeast or in metropolitan centers in other parts of the country, but it found many members in the middle-sized cities as well as in the small towns and villages of middle western and western states like Indiana, Ohio and Oregon. The scapegoats in such regions were immigrants, Jews, and especially Catholics. The rationale was an urge to get back to an older, supposedly finer America and a desperate desire in stamp out all varieties of non conformity. Posing as guardians on public and private morally, Klansmen prosecuted gamblers, loose women, violators of the prohibiting laws and respectable persons who happened to differ from them on religious questions or who belonged to a foreign race.

Passage 2

The outbreak of World War II thrust the Unites States into a worldwide conflict, heightening the need for Americans to become orally proficient in the languages of both allies and their enemies. The time was ripe for a language-teaching revolution. The U.S. military provided the impetus with funding for special, intensive language courses that focused the aural/oral skills; these courses came to be known as the Army Specialized Training Program (ASTP), or, more colloquially, the “Army Method.” Characteristics of these courses were a great deal of oral activity – pronunciation and pattern drills and conversation practice – with virtually none of the grammar and translation found in traditional classes. It was ironic that numerous foundation stones of the now somewhat unpopular Direct Method were borrowed and injected into this new approach. Soon, the success of the Army Method and the revived national interest in foreign languages spurred educational institutions to adopt the new methodology. In all its variations and adaptations, the Army Method came to be known in the 1950s as the Audiolingual Method (ALM).
