Two units on friends near and far for use on third and fourth grade levels

The purpose of this study is to develop two units of study on world understanding and friendship, for third and fourth grade levels. Today, need for cooperative, responsible living and for teachers and pupils to gain and keep a world view, is great. Advances made in the natural sciences make it more needful that man also give his best thought and effort to the social sciences. Anthropology and recorded history trace the steps of developing man, from that early day when he found it more advantageous to live in groups, to our own day when the group has broadened to include all peoples of our planet. The watchwords of our age might well be, "United we stand," I and "On to world gover=ent." It seems quite possible that in spite or the weaknesses of the United Nations, this body may save us from another open world conflict.
