World Crisis uts New mphasis INCH December 7 the United States has em barlced on an all out war to protect demo' cracy against attacks by Hitlerism and the war lords of japan. Teachers in the Social Studies Department feel a great challenge to teach stu' dents to love democracy and to appreciate what it does for the individual and for the nation. If ever practical citizenship teaching was necesf sary, it is now, Hence, from Ancient and Medieval history for the freshmen to American History and Civics for the seniors, great emphasis is being placed on the development of democratic ideals. Wiirld events are studied in their relationf ship to the struggle for democracy. On December 10, 1941, a Good Neighbor Symf posium was sponsored by the Social Studies Def partment. The all day program began at 10 o'clock with a general assembly program in which Mrs. Robert S. Platt pictured Indian life in Latin America with costumes from various countries. In the afternoon the Navarro sisters charmed everyone with their melodious rendition of Latin American music and their picturesque costumes Also john Strohm presented his kodachrome pic' tures of rural life in Latin America. An art exhibit in Miss Higleys room attracted hundreds of students and towns people. Senor Salvatore Mendoza added a Latin American flavor to the banquet in the evening with his songs in Spanish. Commander Fallon proved to be a fitting climax to the day's activities with a humorous description of the Good Neighbor Policy from the viewpoint of a Latin American. A number of downtown organizations and school clubs contributed to the budget for the Symposium. During the second semester, ideas on the war were exchanged by the students from the differ' ent Social Studies classes. On April 14 a Pan American Day program was sponsored by the Social Studies Department with the cooperation of the dramatics and music departments. Thus the teachers of the Social Studies Departf ment are striving to make vital and concrete the training in the American way of life. S. I. Sandven conducts a class in Political Economy
