Description: Shows how a class conducts a study of the history of the local community. When a boy finds an Indian arrowhead and takes it to school, the pupils begin a study of the community by interviewing old residents, visiting old homes, and examining old newspapers and dates on tombstones. The film shows a reconstructed general store, an apothecary shop and street scenes typical of the early 1900's. Narration suggests that the history of every community is part of the history of the country., Shows how a class conducts a study of the history of the local community.
