J. BERYL MAWHINNEY HISTORY DEPARTMENT State University of Nebraska. Fremont, Nebraska. Lexington, Nebraska. Rawlins, Wyoming. In the teaching of History, one of our greatest difficulties is to make the student see and feel a vital connection between the subject in hand and life. To many, the 3tudy of History seems a waste of time, but a great deal may be gained by utilizing the experience of the past as a basis for solving our present and future problems. The American citizen, if he is to think correctly on the problems of his age, if he is to show intelligence and breadth of view in the exercise of hi3 suffrage, must know, first the history of his own country, and then the history of the modern world outside. In the Rawlins High School three years of History are offered. Ancient History. Modern and Mediaeval, and American History and Civics. In the teaching of these courses our aim is to instil the desire to emulate our great national characters; to teach the basic ideals underlying our form of government; to develop a high degree of social and civic responsibility, and to keep the pupils abreast of current happenings.
