Wars and rumors of wars, international controversy and general discussion among nations, make the social studies department particularly important at this time. Nations must learn to live together peaceably. Our advantage over other nations is a result of our superiority in science and the application of science in making more powerful weapons of defense and destruction. This ad- vantage has created fear and distrust in other nations. Now we must learn to live in peace and har- mony with all people. The basic reason for the teaching of social studies is to bring about an understanding of Un- peoples and governments of nations. To help with this program the social Studies department offers liberal courses in elective such as problems of American democracy and American government, consumer economics, world geography, psychology and international relations. eighteen
