jim Learning To Work and Live With Others I The present iumbled world is really a challenge to modern youth. There is so much happening. There is a new curiosity about the geography, re- sources, science, industry and political theories ot the entire world. Recent events have emphasized as never be- tore the tact that the history of each nation is intimately linked with the history of all nations. On all sides we hear that the weltare of mankind depends upon the ability ot people in all lands to understand one another. Science diminished distance, the relations with our neighbors are closer.

An ordinary boy or even girl needs very little encouragement to study the laws of nature in physics class. The embryonic scientists revel in the capabilities of light, heat, energy, electricity, magnetism, and force, trying at least to grasp the fundamentals underlying these laws. Page 37
