German exchange student Jochen Witte studies a map and the Texas Almanac in order to learn more about Texas in his civics studies. Madame Wini Campbell reads Carol Cramer's fortune as they demonstrate one of the tricks of false psychology. Who makes the final decision on the constitutionality of a federal law? The American history classes at Hi Park learn the answer to this and many other questions in their study of the United States Constitution. The political, economic, and social problems of America from the settling of the New World until the present time are scanned by the classes. ln addition to the regular course of study, students keep up with current events and make reading reports each week. Each semester brings with it the writing of a term theme. The world history classes study life from prehistoric days to the present time. The objective of the psychology classes is to provide a means whereby a pupil can better understand him- self and his relations with others. They are supple- mented by films and lectures by well-known psychol- ogists. Consumption, production, exchange, distribution and public finance are the five phases of the economic system examined by the economics classes. Included in the course is the comparison of the United States system with those systems of other countries. Civics, a half-unit course, as is economics, stresses the importance of good citizenship and individual responsibilities. It clarifies civic problems and the ac- tions of the basic governmental offices. Commercial law, another one-semester course, is con- cerned with the Ways in which law governs the everyday activities of peopleg and it studies those rules which apply to business transactions.
