AV QKQZVE' To create enlightened citizens capable of accepting the responsibilities of the government which will someday be theirs was the task of eight Social Studies' teachers. The actions and interactions of the people who have had roles on the world's stage were studied in World History classes. Here, the European influences on the United States were also brought to light. An understanding of the past and the illumination of the future was the purpose of American History. It also showed the developements of a dream, a free nation. The difficulties in running this dream were considered in Problems of Democracy. JAMES R. BEATTY . . . Problems of Democracy . . .
