ABSTRACT
Social education consists in the student's coming to know himself in the only context in which self-knowledge is possible: the society of his fellow-men, his adult as well as his age-peer contemporaries. This is to say that the pre-eminent obligation of the social studies is to facilitate the student's socialization and acquaint him with its nature as a social process, to the end that he may learn to take a self-conscious part in it and thus come to know what manner of man he is.
