Show more"The social studies are a very important aspect of the present day curriculum. But the past in order to have meaning for this generation must be re-interpreted by them in terms of their environmental, moral, social, economic, and political needs. Thus historical knowledge gives perspective and serves as a point of departure for building today and tomorrow's practices in government, religion, and social living. Reading about the lives of leaders in various realms of American life can make history more enjoyable as well as more realistic. As a librarian the writer would like to see biography used more widely as a correlative material to stimulate greater interest in the social studies. Consequently the purpose of this paper is: (1) to suggest the value of biography in developing desirable social concepts and democratic principles which will benefit the student in his daily living as well as make it possible for him to become a better citizen of tomorrow's world; and (2) to suggest biographies suitable for correlation with junior high school social studies"--Introduction.

Another purpose of the study was to find out how policies governing the administration of the school programs were formulated and who are responsible for recommending these policies for adoption. The writer was interested in seeing how uniform the administrative practices were in these counties and how they correspond with the provision of law and State Board Regulations. The writer was also interested in finding out how broad the participation was of those who are connected with the school programs in these counties in formulating policies, preparation of the school budget and school calendars and other related phases of the school program"--Introduction.
