ODAY, because of present time conditions, a well-rounded background and knowledge of history is essential. Right now events are constantly occurring which will be recorded in the history books of tomorrow. Vxfhile this is happening, our efficient staff of instructors help us to learn and to understand the facts upon which our historical knowledge is founded. It is believed by the de- partment that a greater knowledge of our past will give us a greater understanding of the future. The department offers courses in Ancient, Medi- eval, and Modern History in addition to American History, a year's study of which is required for graduation. The lessons taught by the periods here represented should be of great aid in building a better world after the war. Economics and Social Problems are also offered by the department. These subjects help students to a better understanding of the conditions and problems of our time. In recent years the department under the able direction of Mr. Paul Nash has sponsored a special trip by four deserving and worthy Heights students to the National Institute at Washington, D. C. This practice, however, has been suspended for the dura- tion of the war. 16
