Consequently, the student of history, through his understanding of the past, compre- hends with clearness events oftoday and probable occur- rences of tomorrow and the direction in which world tendencies ieventsi are moving. Because the leadership of this tortured world is being urged upon us, it is necessary for everyone of us to understand the conditions in our land and bhe policies of our leaders together with those of other lands and of their officials. ln our study of history we emphasize our civic and social obligations, such as respect for law, tolerance and justice and their practice in our own community is also considered. In our classes many of these essen- tials are imparted by means of books, magazines, news- papers, moving pictures, discussions and addresses by prominent citizens. 'The world is moving rapidIy', it is said, and the faster it moves, the more it behooves us to understand the tistory of our country.
