WITH A RANGE OF courses almost as wide as the gap between the 176 students in History of Western Civilization and the three students in World Politics, the Social Science Department offers courses in history, political science, sociology, geography, econom- ics. and psychology. The department aims to provide adequate back- ground for intellectual competence in the departmental areas and for maximum occupational opportunities for its graduates. 4 A growing departmental attraction is the new social science major. Organized with the dual objective of providing a good foundation for social work and also of preparing the student to do graduate work with competence, the curriculum includes some training in each of the several fields in the department with enough emphasis in one field to insure depth as well as breadth. sf'? 1' F WILFRED J.

SIMPSON, M.A. Associate Professor of Secondary Education Registered nurses Ileen Wells and Bernice La Rochelle confer with Mrs. Edwardson as they continue studies toward their baccalaureate degrees. MODERN EDUCATIONISTS HAVE BEEN severely chided for excessive professional gobbledygook and insufficient scholarly studies. Many critics feel that educators have been long on theory and short on practical application. Some well-meaning intellectuals descry what to them is an entirely out-dated system of education, while others protest that practice has far outstripped safe principles. In this air of wild speculating and free-swinging, La Sierrafs Department of Education has endeavored to maintain its equilib- rium, guided always by the principles of Christian education. To be recommended by the department, a student must show genuine aptitude for teaching. His ample background in a major field must be supplemented by carefully selected courses in education to insure that he will be a credit to the teaching profession. Classroom ex- perience is stressed above theoretical concepts. Far surpassing any evaluation written in a yearbook, however, is the testimonial of the growing number of La Sierra trained teachers who are leading their students to the Master Teacher.
