APPROACH TO POLITICS
IMPORTANCE or HISTORY. A more intelligent study of history and geography as an approach to political understanding is advocated in the recent report of the Spens Committee on Secondary Education in Great Britain. "The importance of history,” says the report, "and in particular of recent history, for its own sake is obvious; moreover, since, with pupils under sixteen, the theoretical discussion of economic questions is impracticable, and the objections to the direct discussion of current political questions are considerable, recent political and economis history is the best introduction to the study of polities. Geography, also can give a conception of the world and of its diverse environments and people which should enable boys and girls to see social and political problems in a truer perspective, and give them sympathetic understanding of other peoples.”
