DIVISION OF SOCIAL SCIENCES At Madison College students have the opportunity to develop voca- tional skills as well as the supplementary subject matter relating this skill to the social and cultural environment. The social scientist, whether he is an economist, geographer, historian, political scientist, or sociologist, contributes to the understanding of human behavior by his unique focus. In home economics instrumental skills have little meaning unless seen in the large complex of interpersonal relations. Likewise, business education skills become meaningful when viewed as one aspect of office or factory life. The librarian must be trained in skills essential to professional competence, as they work with col- leagues whose joint responsibility is to serve the needs of a particular school or community.
