SOCIAL STUDIES The preservation of our democratic culture, at a time when it is meeting its greatest chal- lenge, requires the development of an informed, vital, and active citizenship. An individual 'who understands and appre- ciates democratic values, who gets along well with himself and other people, who works for constructive social purposes and who can ad- just to changing conditions and develop his own maximum potentialities will be a worthy citizen and will enjoy a sense of direction and a feeling of security. The development of these citizenship behav- iors is a major problem of social education. In- struction should be pointed directly toward developing, fortifying, and changing youth's ways of thinking, feeling, and acting in accord with the democratic ideal. THOMAS T.

Guidance is concerned with helping students make' correct choices and effective adjustments. This is carried on in these areas 3 vocational, edu- cational and personal social guidance. We feel that all students need assistance at one time or another. It is our goal that having received assist- ance, a student will gain insight so he or she may increase his or her ability for self direction for similar problems in the future. HELEN G.
