RUTHERFORD ELECTRIC MEMBERSHIP CORPORATION School And Your Child BY JOHN COREY Education Department Appalachian State Teachers College '(Editor’s Ndte; Readers having questions canoeming education are invited to send inquiries to School and Your Child, Appala chian State Teachers College, Boone, North Carolina.) Critics Blast Social Studies; But They May Be Our Best Hope Critics continually blast cer tain 'goals of social studies in schools, such as teaching attitu des of good citizenship and sym pathetic understanding of others’ problems in ithe world. Stick to pure subject-matter, say these aritics. Leave social crusading and “do-gooding” to those outside the school. Such folks may have to wait until smoke and debris from a missile-borne hydrogen bomb ■ clear away in World War II be fore they really understand that “survival depends far more on progress in human relationships than on technology.” Dr. Jonathan C. McLendon of Northwestern University, Evans ton, 111., and Dr. Julian C. Yoder, head of social studies at Appa lachian State Teachers College, Boone, N. C., describe this as a bard way to learn a lesson. But it points up why social studies educators more than ever stress the importance of learning to get along 'iq the human “rat-race.” Just what is taught today in I social Studies subjects — history, geography, economics, govern ment, sociology — and what atti tudes are emphasized? Dr. McLendon and Dr. Yoder report that isodial studies begin informally in Ithe primary gra des. First graders learn about the home, school, and neighborhood. From this the teacher hopes they’ll begin to understand the importance of cooperating as members of a group. Grades two and three study a bout community helpers. They develop appreciation for the roles of postmen, grocerymen, farm ers, and others on whom we de pend. I Geography begins as a formal sociall studies subject in the four th grade. Children leave the stu dy of their home community for that of foreign lands. By becom ing familiar with .the unique fea tures of mountainous countries such as Japan, for instance, they learn how geography affects na tional development. Fifth glraders examine U. S. history, begin to appreciate the hardships and deprivatiohs typi cal of colonial and American frontier life. They’re required to recall a few key dates. Sixth graders tackle world his tory. Out of this should come understanding of the contribu tions of past civilizations. For example, they study ancient Greece’s democratic government and classical architecture. Stu dents 'are asked to locate distant places on a map. Dr. McLendon, a former Duke University professor who worked on a new social studies curricu lum (courses of study) for North Carolina, points out that local practices vary concerning what is taught in social studies in alii grades, but particularly so in the junior high (seventh and eighth) grades. Usually the program in cludes history and geography of the United States, the state, and •sometimes the lands. Dr. Yoder of Appalachian, member of he committee study ing the North Carolina social NOTICE OF SALE Under and by virtue of the power of salle contained in a Deed of Trust given by Noah C.

Harrill, Trustee. 2:23-3:16 j studies curriculum, says Tair Heel schools generally teach ci vics in tthe seventh girade, North Carolina history in the eighth grade and world history in the ninth. Mas. Mary Sue Beam Ponville, longtime (teacher at Raleigh's Broughton High School and chairman of the curriculum stu dy committee, recommends that civiics be dropped as a year-long course in the seventh grade. There’s no specific textbook and some consider the eubject without too much substance. She suggests teaching half year in the ninth grade and geography the other half. In civics’ place in the seventh grade add a combination U. S. history and geography course dealing with (the western hemis phere. The suggested changes are now before Dr. I. E. Ready, dir ector of North Carolina's schools’ curriculum study. World history comes for most students in the tenth grade. Some schools, however offer it in the ninth. A typical understand ing from world history would be how modem national govern ments evolved. Pupils meet U. S. history in the ! eleventh grade for the second or third time. Out of this higher level examination of their coun try’s past and present, (they should be able to explain how the federal constitution has changed since its adoption and compare a current national issue to a historical one. In the twelfth grade students may face a social studies course dealing with modern problems. On completion, they would un derstand basic principles of A merioan democracy and recogni ze advantages of democracy over communism, says Dns. McLen don and Yoder. Within each social studies sub ject, according to the Northwes tern University and Appalachian experts, shifting emphases have occurred. In history, for example, they note a (trend 'toward less empha sis on military and political his tory. The clearest trend is the ever increasing attention to more recent times. And the Far East and Africa now come in tor far more detailed examination. The oustamding trend in geo graphy, state Dr^. McLendon and Yoder, has (been /the shift to hu man geography. Attention is more to relationships between humans and ttheir national en vironment rather than to the en vironment alone. Illustrating this is the swing away from maps de noting onlly physical features to maps also picturing the use of land and other natural resources.

This the 11th day of Febru ary, 1961. Jack H. White, Trustee Davis and White, Attorneys 2:16—3:9 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 sub ordinated 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 I it possible for athletes to remain scholastically eligible to play. Not until 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 can be assigned ito those trained in social Studies will the situation be mproved, states the commit I tee.
