SHOWS VALUE OF
CIVIC EDUCATION
Harold l.. Gibbs Addresses Civics
Club Of Wilmington High
School.

In an address before the Civics Club
OF the Wilmington High School, yesterday
afternoon, on Civic Education and Its
Practical Application" Harold L. Gibbs
said:
Tho war is bringing larger vision
to the world. We are approaching the
social age. Men will emphasize the COM
m,mity and society. This will be what
the student of society has longed for
After the war men will see things In their
proper relationship-man place IN hui
manity and the place OF humanity In the
universe So that after the war the proper
study of man will be man-nOt each man
separately, but mankind. Man will be
ready for a deeper knowledge of his re-
lationship TO men, the State, to the ma
ton. To classes of men, 10 humanity,
to the universe and To God.
The war Is pointing ont very clearly
and cmphatically what is to be expected
of the educated man of the future n
knowledge Of mon and manklnd-Skili
in social engineering and broad vision
combined with both. As YOU are seniors
and are going To college or are now IN
possession of some knowledge of clvics,

preparation, the courses to choose, TO

and how it will earn you living
Mr.. Gibbs explained the difference
between the natural sciences and the
social sciences. The student who Is
attracted by the human element Will
find the worlds greatest opportunities
tor social service open TO hun through
specialization in some of the various
phases OF psychology and sociology
The student Of sociology, he said, must
have a broad knowledge of politics,
education. economies. aesthetics, rcll-
gion and ethics, and n comprehensive
grasp of one or more of them. Before
elccting any of the social sciences for a
college major or for life work MIR. Gibbs
said that Young man or woman would
want Immediately 10 know what the
prospects were for the future. Some OF
the lines of social service offer some OF the
best salaries given 10 men and women
today.
One Of the promising Of the new fields
oi social service Is that OF sclentihc law
drafting. This was inaugIratcd at Brown
University. Mr.. Gibbs Alma Mater,
and had been adopted by the State Of
Wisconsin. Mr.. Gibbs incidentally called
attention to the need in Delaware for :
