orld Problems Covered b Social Studies Department Understanding contemporary world problems is a topic covered by the social studies department at Escambia. If a student is to understand himself first he must be able to understand the world around him. Interpretations and opinions of different civic, national and intemational topics allow students to become more ac- quainted with their country. The social studies department olfers these courses: geogra- phy, world history, American history, environmental studies, sociology and Americanism vs. Communism. The department feels that if there were not so many mandatory subjects in the curriculum, students would benelit from other areas of social studies. Mr. Harry McGill, head of the social studies department states, If the curriculum permitted, anthropology and psy- chology would be valuable to the social studies department.

Ac- cording to Mrs. Ruth Blackbum, head of the department, Students gain outside industrial and community assistance by participating in these fairs? Experimenting with the fundamentals of nature helps to broaden the scientific interest of the individual student. Opening the minds and creating an atmosphere for students to think for themselves should be the final result. This year the general subjects earth science, biology, chem- istry, physiology, biological research and physical science, were taught to students. Special and more complicated areas of science, such as the fields of oceanography were not taught because the department lacks the special equipment. The courses, offered by the science department, are ade- quately supplied with the equipment needed, except for the area of physics. Escambia's science teachers feel that if more scientific scales were supplied, the department would benefit.
