, .Wm Kaya -ec ,tt r f Ecluootlon ot Normandy The business of any school is to provide for general liberal education, This pur- pose includes instruction which acciuaints a student with the facts and modes of thought in the chief fields of intellectual endeavor, wholesome physical recreation and exercise, an atmosphere conducive to industry, initiative and development of moral character. lt is its purpose to cultivate the mind and its powers, not merely to store it with facts, With this general aim in mind the administration leaders of Normandy l-ligh School have divided the courses into five curriculums, academic, for those students preparing for college work in law, medicine, journalism, arts and sciences, business administration or education, scientific, for those preparing for engineering, general, for those who are not sure of their future plans, commercial, for those planning to enter the business world, and industrial arts, for those interested in mechanics and skilled trades. Prescribed courses, as well as a variety of interesting and worthwhile elective courses for these curriculums, are divided into various departments under the super- vision of capable and trained teachers, The teachers in each department work to- gether to integrate their subjects into a well-organized course of study and to fuse the work of the different departments into a unified, planned scheme of education, SOCIAL SCIENCE The Social Studies occupy an important position in the Normandy curriculum, and rightly so, for they are designed to supply pupils with an obvious necessity-a working knowledge of their social environment, The term working knowledge is chosen as best indicating the aim to produce active citizens. This means that pupils are given not only a knowledge of the machinery of modern society with something of how others have used and developed it but, what is more essential, a desire to do their shares in keeping the machinery moving lt is widely recognized that a success- ful democracy reguires citizens who can discuss current problems intelligently and who are anxious to act in accordance with any conclusions democratically arrived at. Modern society needs constructive participants, not destructive critics, and it is the purpose of the social studies to fill such needs. Page Eighteen
