Ohio State University Biarritz University Wilmington College Cincinnati Bible Seminary Bachelor of Science in Education MR. DONALD MORROW MR. FRANK CREAMER We (eel that our first and main objective is to help students grow in citizenship and genuine love of their country, tradi- tions and institutions. We encourage the students to understand the structure of our government, its development, testing and preservation, based upon the moral and spiritual riches inherited as an American citizen. There is a great underlying purpose in life that the student must be helped to discover. We teach the students to live effectively in a democratic society by establishing and maintaining a democratic atmos- phere in the classroom. We try to develop the ability to use our freedoms wisely and a deeper appreciation for the privilege of living in a democ- racy. Give the students an understanding of the achievements, the mistakes and the experiences of the past as a solution to the present problems. MR.
