Page 17 text: “ - • O • Qj) O • History Department • History—This all-important word to many of us means nothing more than a • A. tedious course of study and the memorizing of a long list of dates and dry facts. A 0 As we ponder half-heartedly over a text-book assignment, the thought occurs to 0 us that here is a splendid opportunity for us to become acquainted with the world and with its people. Every day we marvel at the modern, well-arranged systems • of political and social life, and we thrill with a feeling of superiority over our • forefathers with their apparently crude customs. Yet, in order for us to fully ! understand these modern conditions, and in order to do justice to those who have A made it possible, it is necessary for us to turn back the pages of Time, and follow A the progress of man through the ages. The present plan of history in Sharon V High School is admirably suited to this purpose, giving the student a complete. • unbroken course in world progress, from the very beginning down to the • I • present day. • • Civics in the Eighth Grade tends to impress upon the student his responsi- • bility of citizenship. Ancient History for Freshmen is a story of the wondrous development of man since the tine of the earliest written record. Vocational Civics teaches the student how to make the proper use of leisure time and how to develop char- acter and citizenship. In ike Sophomore year, Modern History cultivates the idea of orderly ad- vancement and it helps one to understand the present. In the Junior vear, the student studies American History in order that he • | may more readily become acquainted with the institutions and complexities of his • own country. Through the study of the potential problems in the development A of his country, the student realizes the great responsibility of citizenship that is his. 0 In the Senior year, Problems of Democracy completes the history course. This may be divided into three parts, of which one-third is Political Science, the f science of citizenship; one-third Sociology, the science of living with one another; 4 and one-third Economics, the science of getting and expending wealth.
