Groping through the darkness in an American problems class to locate Mr. Beecher in order to determine how students learn in the dark, I stumhled over a cord stretched across the floor. Amid shouts of protest, I learned from the inf structor that the students were enjoying another visual aid program. Desiring to see more of the primitive trihes of Africa, and finding this a very pleasant method of gaining an education, I remained for the entire afternoon. I concluded, after seeing these ehony people scoop food from a howl and carry it to their mouths with unwashed hands, there are some very insanitary people on this plant. On another visit to the class I noted that students devised their test, inf stead of the instructor, that parents assisted in outlining a course of study, and that daily assignments were supplemented with a semester paper which covered any suhject from juvenile delinquency to Buddhism. Another course in the sof cial science field that attracted my attention was world history, which purports to he the first course in the study of Earth-folks. Here I was greatly surprised to learn that most nations throughout the past have continually attempted to overf power one another. People generally, I had believed, were lovers of peace. How- ever, advancing to American history, I was told that more precious than peace were man's right to life, liherty, and the pursuit of happiness. I also must hef come hetter acquainted with the Constitution and the Declaration of Indepen- dence. Later current history students attacked such prohlems as causes of the Korean war, the eighteenfyearfold draft, rearmament, price and wage control, internal revenue, and America's fight to preserve her democracy and her stan' dards of living.
