The Social S tudies A nation's strength is not to be found in its treasury statements. It lies. instead, in the national character of its people. in their willingness to sacriiice leisure, comfort, and a share of their talents for the welfare of the nation of which they are a part. . . . Our democracy is much like a tall stand of timber. We cannot cut from it more than we plant in it without periling its survival. ' --General Omar Bradley Social studies are the studies of people. This means people of the past, of the present, and social studies try to prepare people for the future. At Churchill. students take geography, United States history. and civics to help prepare them for adult citizenship in a democracy. This democracy is the tall stand of timber. and the students of this school are learning to plant in it so that it may survive and flourish. At Churchill students of social studies develop the skills that will help them to grow into good, thoughtful citizens. There is much experience in reading and speaking. Many opportunities are offered for growth in listening ability. These are skills that are well developed in a citizen of a free nation if that nation is to endure. Boys and girls are given opportunities to hear all points of view on matters that affect people. to discuss freely these points of view. and to arrive at their own answers to social studies problems whenever these problems are controversial. On the following pages Churchill students of social studies are at work in their geography. United States history. and civics classes.
