THE EDUCATION DEPARTMENT. . . This department at Saint Paul ' s College enrolls the greatest number of students in the college. This places upon it a great responsibility. In the tradition of educa¬ tion, the department seeks to educate the student so that he will in turn shape and influence the lives of other individuals. This department seeks to develop the ca¬ pacities of its students into competent teachers; teachers who will be alert to change and be able to cope with the in¬ creasingly complex demands of society. Students are made to realize that teach¬ ing is n ot a simple undertaking but with diligence and hard work, each can make his contribution to society by making a significant difference in the lives of the young people they teach.

The Social Science Department hopes to achieve the following goals in the future: The first goal is to prepare students for service in three branches of society; namely, school, government, and industry. The program for the Bachelor of Science in Education with a major in Social Science is designed to pre¬ pare students for teaching history and other social sciences in high schools. In addition to this teaching program, the Social Science Department offers three areas of concentra¬ tion. They are History, Economic, and So¬ ciology. The second goal is to prepare stu¬ dents for graduate studies in institutions of higher learning. The Third goal is to de¬ velop the student ' s ability to solve social, economic, and political problems. The fourth goal is to develop leadership qualities. The fifth goal is to teach young people how to live an excellent life. It is with profound grace and humanity at heart that we endeavor to pursue the above. Chairman, Dr. Pearl H. Chen
