Social Science Divirion Emlbbelrizer Clare Tier ef All Peopler in World Can you imagine yourself without chocf olate candy, chewing gum, banana splits, and other luxuries of high school life? That is how things would be if there weren't people in other countries working to supply us with these pleasures. The people in Africa work long hours, under a hot sun to supply us with chocof late. The Central Americans toil long to get chicle for gum. Workers in South America carefully tend bananas. Mother's afternoon tea must be picked more than 3,000 miles away in China. Dadls favorite coffee is supplied by Brazilians. Thus we see that though those people may be different in race, religion, back' ground, or economic status we cannot be indifferent toward those who make our lives happier and easier. In the Social Science division, of which Mr. Cscar High is chairman, classes study the background, geography, government, and economics of various countries. In careers, students develop a better underf standing of themselves and those around them. Commercial Classes Practical In commercial classes students make a study of the services that business renders to the community and the way in which these services are to be used to the best advantage of each individual. Such a study makes the pupil a more intelligent citizen. Students of commercial law become aware of the laws governing their conduct in society, which helps them to understand how to live with others. Cther practical courses in this depart' ment include bookkeeping, calculating maf chines, commercial geography, shorthand, and typewriting. Teach Ideal of Democracy In the social studies department, of which Mr. Charles W. Baker is chairman, Page 20 the aim is to teach students to understand the ideals of democracy, freedom, and ecof nomic security in the light of history. Included in this department are general, modern, and United States history, civics, and economics. Economics classes make frequent visits to financial centers in the Chicago area and have speakers from some of the leading businesses address them. Special attention has been given recently to the United Nations Charter and to the organization and meetings of that body. Shops Teach by Doing In the shop classes at Englewood, stuf dents must learn by doing. Shop work, while teaching a useful trade, provides op' portunities for developing desirable perf sonalities, social traits, and leadership. The shop classes begin with a primary course known as Industrial Arts. Machine shop includes a study of power driven machinery, such as the lathe, milling maf chine, shaper, and special measuring devices. Wood shop teaches the value of wood to man and the use of such machines as the wood lathe, the band and jig saws, the electric drills. In print shop, setting type, preparing it for printing, operation of the printing press, and proof reading are taught. In mechanical drawing, accuracy in both measuring and drawing is emphasized. As Mr. Weber stated, Craftsmanship knows no tongue, race or creed. It belongs to all men who are willing to work. We have many problems which require the efforts of individuals with various abilities and the results of cofoperative efforts are the foundations for understanding each other. -MARILYN MUELLER, NITA GOAD, RC3BEllT JONES, MARY F.
