Social Science The social sciences under the direction of Mr. Miller offer a great variety of interest- ing and worth-while courses, including economics and social problems as well as history. ln the economics and social problems groups the teacher tries to Ht students for their life after leaving school. They study many problems concerning the economic welfare of the nation and the proper distribution of wealth. Included in this is research on the man- ufacturing and industry of the World, and the correct conduct of business. The social problems classes study the working of the government, foreign relations, and education, and endeavor to make the student a better American citizen and a credit to his community. The history classes offer many courses, ranging from the ancient history of the Greeks and Babylonians through the history of early and modern Europe and up to the modern American studies. It is the aim of the history department to teach the students so that they will be able to meet successfully any situation. KATHERINE H. DAVERY B. A. Beloit College Col A.
