This can only be at- tained through the careful study of the social sciences. American' Government, being introduced at Nlenard this year, offers an opportunity to obtain knowledge of our countryis inner func- tions. lf we do not know about our nation, how can we make use of our rights and privileges? Worlfi History and American History also are offered as means of securing iiformation about the past and present. Through these, pupils attain an advanced view of not only our government but all governments. To associate Menardians more closely with the actual workings of a democratic people, a course is offered in Civics. This gives stu- dents an opportunity to investigate all branches in our system of government.
