The  pupils  have  enjoyed  the  work.  At  no  time  did

accomplished.

Does  the  United  States  Produce  Enough  Sugar  to

Teacher's  Aim  :  To  have  the  pupil  realize  in  a  larger
way  what  commercial  and  social  relations  of  people
are  necessary  for  the  good  of  the  individual,  and  to
have  him  see  how  man's  life  is  affected  by  geographic
controls,  such  as  climate,  soil,  and  rainfall ;  also  to  help
the  pupil  to  become  more  independent  in  his  thinking,
to  have  more  initiative,  and  specifically  to  lead  him  to
develop  an  interest  in  the  production  of  the  common
necessities  of  life.
Pupils'  Aim :  (l)  To  find  out  whether  the  United
States  produces  enough  sugar  for  its  own  needs ;  (2)  to
