SOCIAL SCIENCE Creator knowledge and understanding of government, history, world problems, and one’s self were the objectives of study in the social science field. Freshmen, in their civics course, became more familiar with Minnesota’s government. Special units of study were designed to help students plan their educational and vocational goals. World history students gained an understanding of the development of social and political patterns. A sequential study of human existence in early civilizations and a consideration of the development of modem nations presented a clearer understanding of man's heritage. Juniors in the American history course traced the political, economic, and social developments in America from its European backgrounds to its present situation. This helped to prepare students for creative thinking and action as members of the American society. Modem problems gave seniors the opportunity to relate contemporary issues to practical situations. Not only were social issues, such as the race question, dealt with, but also history-making ideas and trends were analyzed. In Great Men and Their Ideas, students examined social and political theories. Research into these ideas proved vital to their understanding of the world today. Psycholog)' provided an opportunity to analyze human behavior. A study of family living was the basis of the course. Special units dealt with the abnormalities of alcoholism and mental illness.
