Abstract
This thesis undertakes to establish that drama has an educational value. This educational value of drama lies in its subtle power to influence man morally, mentally, and socially, Morally, by its appeal to the emotions, which predispose the will to act; mentally, by its appeal to his intellectual perception; and socially, by presenting pictures of human life and conduct of man in relation to his fellow. Drama is a powerful instrument which may be made to work for both good and evil in the education of the people. For this reason the realization of its power as an educational factor is highly important to all people; but, above all, It is of the utmost importance to educators and to social leaders.
