ff n 5? , tits - Kg.. Social Studies trends meet consumer needs Trends seem to be changing in the field of Social Studies from Who discovered America to an informational eeducation of the modern consumer. First year teaching of consumer Educa- tion from a historical point of view was the major change in department this year. Consumer ED. has previously been taught as a business course, and will now also be offered in the Social Studies department. Different emphasis will be placed in teach- ing than strictly on the business level. The class of American Political Behav- ior is becoming a very popular course, with double the enrollment over last year. The name waslchanged from American Gov- ernment, and Mr. John Young is pleased with the interest in the course. Two mini courses were dropped, along with a rule change concerning American History. Students now usually switch teachers at the end of first semester in American History. ln previous years, stu- dents had the same teacher all year. The change was made to provide more flexibil- ity for student schedule changes. Sociology and pyschology, also catego- rized as Social Sciences, have satisfactory enrollments, with a slight increase over last year.
