But lately a very modern version of a social science with Mr. Hornbrook as instructor has raised its head on the horizon, demanding rec- ognition. This innovation, commercial geo- graphy, though the name may be dull-sounding, presents an amazing Vista of opening fields to freshmen who sign up for it. Providing an adequate background for future history studies, it deals with the influence of geography on man and his progress. lt helps the student understand how our human family has learned and is still learning how to fit itself into this world that is its home. When one hears of the fascinating Way in which it is taught-with slides, novel outside projects, teams co-operating, an unusually equipped room, and all sorts of other delightful ideas to make learning fun-he wonders why such a course Wasn't inaugurated sooner.

How fascinating the study of history has always been to man! Always he has sought to know the mystifying where's, when's, and why's of his own existence. Always he has endeavored to solve problems of the future by knowing the past.

The social science department tries, to quote its head, Miss Louise Welch, Hto give its pupils understanding of the elements of continuity and change in human progress, appreciation of our racial heritage, recognition of national obligations, conception of economic problems, and a character of civic honor and responsibilityf' If one were to visit a history class rent events were being discussed, he that citizens from our school: will in be well informed.
