In order to play ur part in world affairs, we should know 'ellwhatthis part is. Our landis the land f the free and the hope for oppressed eoples everywhere. This is the reason 'hy we must study the story of other eoplesandespecially our ancestors down :trough the ages, so that we may truly see ne world setting in which we find our- elves today. In World History we find the origin of Jur Bill of Rightsp Trial by Juryg Repre- entative governmentg the Monroe Doctrine nd other things that we treasure among ur precious possessions today. Pr Uv 358 ' 'NMS' We all know and are proud thatAmerica is a great country. God has truly blessed America in many ways, Now it is high time that Axnericans learn to bless God. ln order to do this, we, as young American citizens, should learn how our country has become great and what keeps it great. To do this we study civics so that we may be able to do our share in keeping our country the way we want it to be. The surest guarantee of a country's great- ness is a respect for God and a knowledge of its government on the part of its growing citizens.
