SCHOOL AND YOUR CHILD L. By John Coray, Appalachian Slat# Teacher* College Critics Blast Social Studiw; But Thay May Be Our Bast Hope Critics continually blast cer tain goals of social studies in spools, such as teaching atti tudes of good citizenship and understanding of others’ problems in the world. jSiick to pure subject-matter, say these critics. Leave social qh&ading and “do-gooding” to those outside the school. Such folks may have to wait uhlil smoke and debris from a missile-borne hydrogen bomb clear away in World Wiar 111 before they really understand that “survival depends far more, on progress in human relation-' ships than on technology.” Dr. Jonathan C. McLendon of. Northwestern University, Evans-' ton, HL, and Dr. Julian C. Yo der, head of social Studies at ■ Appalachian State Teachers Col lege, Boone, N. C., describe this as a hard way to learn a les son, But it points up why so cial studies educators more than 1 ever stress the importance of learning to get along in the human “rat-race.” Just what is taught today in social studies subjects—history, geography, economics, govern ment, sociology—and what atti tudes are emphasized? | Dr. McLendon and Dr. Yoder report 'that social studies begin informally in the primary grades. First graders learn about the home, School, and neighborhood. From this 'the teacher hopes they’llbegin to understand the importance of cooperating as members of a .group. Grades two and three Study! about community 'helpers. They] develop appreciation for the roles of postmen, grocerymen, farmers, and others on whom we depend. Geography begins as a formal social studies subject in the fourth grade. Children leave the study of their home com munity for that of foreign lands.: By becoming familiar with the unique features of mountainous countries such as Japan, for in stance, they learn how geogra phy affects national develop ment. •-Fifth graders examine U. S. history, begin to appreciate the hardships and deprivations typi cal of colonial and American frontier life. They’re required t<j recall a few key dates. Sixth graders taclde world his tqry. Out of this should come understanding of the contribu tions of past civilizations. For example, they study ancient' democratic government and classical architecture. Stu dents are asked to locate distant places on a map. (Dr. McLendon, a former Duke Uhiversity professor who work eq on i new social studies cur riculum (courses of study) for N®rth Carolina, points out that lofcal practices vary concerning what is taught in social studies in'all grades, but particularly so in> the junior high (seventh and eighth) grades. Usually the pro gram includes history and ge ography of the United States, the state, and sometimes other labels. t>r. Yoder of Appalachian, member of the committee study ing the North Carolina social studies curriculum, says Tar -Heel schools generally teach civics in the seventh grade, Ntjrth Carolina, history in the eighth grade and world history in’the ninth. i Mrs. Mary Sue Beam Fon- \ i9B£» JM Good Reading lor the Whole Fondly i-News l 'Facts ‘Family Features lb* Christian Scianc* Monitor On* Norway Boston 15, Mom.

Nen » ville, longtime teacher at Ra leigh’s Broughton High School and chairman of the curriculum study 'committee, recommends that civics be dropped as a year-long course in the seventh grade. There’s no specific textbook and some consider the subject without too much substance. She suggests teaching it half year in the ninth grade and ge ography the other half. In civics’ place in the seventh grade add a combination U. S. history and geography course dealing with the western hemi sphere. The suggested changes are 1 now before Dr. I. E. Ready, di | rector of North Carolina’s schools’ curricuum study. I World history comes for most students in the tenth grade. Some schools, 'however, offer it in the ninth. A typical under standing from world history would be how modern national governments evolved, i Pupils meet U. S. history in the eleventh grade for the sec ond or third time. Ou't of this i higher level examination of their 'country’s past and present, they should be able to explain how the federal constitution has changed since its adaption and I compare a cui rent national is sue to a historical one. 1 In 'the twelfth grade students may face a social studies course dealing with modern problems. On completion, they would un : ' derstand basic principles of ' American democracy and recog nize advantages of democracy I over communism, says Drs. Mc ' Lendon and Yoder. J Within each social studies sub ' ject, according to the North -1 western University and Appa lachian experts, shifting emphas | es have occurred. I In history, for example, they! note a trend toward less em phasis on military and political history. The clearest trend is j 1 the ever-increasing attention to' ' more recent times. And the Far East and Africa now come in for i more detailed examination. The outstanding 'trend in ge ography, state Drs. McLendon and Yoder, has been the shift to human geography. Attention is more to relationships between humans and their national en vironment rather than to the en vironment alone. Illustrating !

And the North Carolina social studies committee indicates a ■swing toward social studies Be ing taught by teachers who claim the subjects as their “first love”. The committee opines that too frequently social , studies are .subordinated to athletics that is subjects are assigned to coaches whose primary interests center toward the coaching of their teams. Therefore, the committee feels history and other social studies become a step child, sometimes degraded to the point of making it possible for athletes to re main scholastically eligible to play. Not unti coaches can be as signed to the function of teach ing health and physical educa tion and coaching athletics and the teaching of social studies cap be assigned to those trained in social studies will be the situ ation be improved, states Jth\ committee. j (Editor's Note: Readers questions concerning education are invited to send inquiries to School and Your Child, Appa lachian Stale Teachers College, Boone, North Carolina.)

Today, in order to help adults realize that love is the most important quality of the Chris tian life, and that real love al ways finds expression in humble and unselfish service, we read of the Last Supper. In today’s Scripture we find one of the Bible’s best illustra tions of the meaning of true discipleship. Herein we find emphasis on the two main at tributes of Christian discipleship. They are, respectively, lowly service and holy love. Both are worthy of our careful and undivided attention. Let us discuss, first, the mean ing of lowly service.

And in order to determine our own sincerity of purpose we must ask our selves: Do we care for people? How much do we care? Is it enough to stoop gladly to hum ble services wherever and when ever the need may appear? The answers to thse questions pro vide our best test of real and true discipleship. In his account of the wonder ful, selfless act of Jesus—the washing of the disciples’ feet — John is encouraging us to act, to do something helpful for the lowly and the needy. The meal of Which ’the disciples partook with their Lord, as we ordinari ly observe it, is a memorial to Jesus’ supreme sacrifice on the cross. And what could be more meaningless than for us to re member Christ’s death without putting into practice the prin ciple of love illustrated by his humble ministrations to bis followers. When we ask how much a believer should care, we must perforce also ask: Does he care enough to serve, even as a slave? Service to pthers is the truest of all sacraments. A Christian never rises above another. We Continued on Page 6—Section 7 ! HAPPY HOME PENTECOSTAL HOLINESS CHURCH HAROLD C. LEAKE.
