Social Studies and Geography These two subjects are so directly related that they go hand and hand to form almost the same field for specializa- tion on the part of Secondary students. They furnish a rich background of the world, its places and people together with the record of the past which makes us intelligent interpreters of the happenings of the present here or abroad. Social Studies which usually includes Geography are required in all public schools therefore the Elementary, Business Education and Secondary Departments include the work of these broad fields. 26
