On page 23 of the Rotarian for August, 1953, there is an article, “Bold New Program in Our Schools,” describing a scheme for fostering good citizenship among young Americans. It is so newsworthy that Reader's Digest used it in its August, 1953, issue. Those who have found the time to read the article know that it claims “to teach youngsters to become active, informed, alert citizens in the same way they are taught to be good chemists—by laboratory practice.” Again, the social studies group has succeeded in making the public conscious of its efforts to teach citizenship!

Anthropology has existed in the public school curriculum for almost a century. For the most part, however, it has been included within world and American history. For example, some of the earliest textbooks used in American schools described Indian culture as a background to European arrival and conquest. The most purposeful application of precollegiate anthropology to the school curriculum came in the 1960s when special teaching units were added to the social studies curriculum. Since then anthropology has been holding its own as a minor part of the precollege curriculum, and there is some indication that interest in this subject is currently on the rise among educators.

when I wanted to enrich the social studies curriculum, I needed additional materials to supplement the textbook. I made endless trips to the public library to find supplementary resources. When my students participated in National History Day® or conducted other historical research, they often struggled to locate primarysource materials. Some students traveled to the Library of Congress or to national and university libraries. With the advent of the Internet, finding enrichment materials and primary source materials in history and the social sciences has become much easier. Primary source material is much more accessible since the Library of Congress and other institutes, museums, and libraries have begun to digitalize their collections. In addition, historical accounts, economic reports, maps, political commentaries, and demographic information abound on the Internet. Now, instead of going to the library, I log onto to the Internet first.
