SOCIAL STUDIES TRAIN LEADERS AND FOLLOWERS Now as never before the youth of America must be educated in history and world affairs, because politics and culture of nations live as a result of yesterday. The twentieth century has brought with it a vast advance in the field of science, a progression which seriously outstrips man’s understanding of man- kind. Where man once used bows and arrows, today he uses mechanical brains and nuclear weapons which can ruin whole nations in a few minutes. Pos- sibly the answer for the future lies in the past. History courses give leaders and followers of to- morrow insight into problems of today through the study of yesterday. In combined courses, students learn to understand people of other nations. Hence, social studies are a start toward better relations among nations, a significant element of peace.
