ON TEACHING HISTORY


There are several states which, by legis-
lation, require all public schools and other
educational institutions supported by public
funds. to teach United States history, and
the principles of representative government.
While it is obvious that the teaching of
history varies in many respects, dependent
upon the attitude of the teachers, there is
much to be said in favor of requiring that
the history of our nation be studied. Ger
tainly all Americans should know the history
of their country and understand the voting
system that enables them to elect their lead
ers.
The purpose of instructing pupils in the
history of this country is to enable them to
be effective and intelligent citizens This
means that they should be taught both sides
of controversial issues, whether they affect
economics. politics or society.
We believe that the young people of our
nation should have knowledge of our coun-
try's glorious" history, but we believe just
as strongly, that they should have thorough
understanding of the episodes which are not
quite so glorious Like every other nation,
we must admit, we have some mistakes on our
record and it is important that these be stu
died, understood, and if possible, avoided
in the future.
SUNDAY SCHOOL WEEK
What do public school officials think of
Sunday Schools? DR.. John J. Theobald is
Superintendent of Schools in New York City,
controlling the teaching and preparation for
life of one million boys and girls. Here is
what he says about Sunday Schools:
MANS two greatest adventures are eX-
ploring the world around him and the worth
within him. Whether he probes with mis-
sile or prayer, he's on the high road to ad-
venture, and his preparation must begin early
in life. Sunday Schools of all faiths stress the
principles that start young people in the right
direction"
To help focus attention on the Importance
of our nations Sunday Schools, the Laymen's
National Committee, Inc, a non-Sectarian,
non-proft organization, has been sponsoring
National Sunday School Week in April for
the past fifteen years. The observance this
year will be from April 13 to 10. The slogan
is MAKE EVERY WEEK SUNDAY
SCHOOL WEEK"
Let's start our children in the right di-
rection bv giving them chance to learn the
Word of God in our Sunday Schools.

By A. ]. WEDDERBURN
Curator of Photography
The Smithsonian Institution

Now is the time to get
started on those Photographic
Christmas cards. 1t does take
a little time to make these
distinctive persona photo
messages of good will but
your friends will appreciate
your holiday greetings all the
more for the extra effort that
goes into such a project.
Two questions pop into the
minds OF those who have
never tried their hand at
photo Christmas cards. One.
of course. is the cost. The
other concerns the amount OF
time and work involved.
Can Regulate Cost
Actually you can produce
your Photographic greetings
at about the same cost, or
even for less in some cases.
as any other card of good
quality. You can set the cost
per card to fit your own
budget because the card can
be either a very simple single
sheet contact print or it can
be as elaborate as a four-page
folder that has three or four
snapshots printed on it.
The time and effort in
volved also is up to you. With
the one-scene card, printed
by contact, you can run off
and process so to 100 in no
more time than it would take
you to make a trip downtown
and make a selection from
the ready-mades in the stores.
In addition to making the
cards you will, of course,
have to get a supply of en-
velopes the right size. These
should be readily available
at the nearest drugstore or
notion counter. 1t is best to
get the envelopes first and
then make the cards to 1f1t.
Otherwise you may spend UNI
necessary time in trimming
cards that are just a bit too
big to fit your envelopes.
The One-Scene Type
To make the simplest Of
all photo greeting cards you
will need only to select an ap-
propriate scene for the sea-
son and make a contact print
on it, leaving enough space
at the. bottom or side for a
handWrlCten message OF your
own devising. For such a card
we would suggest that you
use a medium or double
weight paper. A mask, the
size of the paper should be
prepared so that the photo
can be printed just where you
want it without leaving any
unwanted border to show.
Make a test print, or several
