Abstract

A vital problem facing us at the present is to find a more effective and interesting method in the teaching of social studies in our high schools so as to prepare pupils, in a limited period of time and in an already overburdened curriculum, for a useful and satisfying life guided by well cultivated social attitudes and ideals. The social studies laboratory, where pupils learn by doing, seems to be indispensable if, with economy of time and space, a thorough course of social studies is to be covered effectively.
