OUSEKEEPING is the biggest woman-employing industry in the world. It is the oldest industry in creation and yet no other occupation is annually called upon to employ so much unskilled labor. In 1917 our government, realizing that the future of America depends upon the conditions found in our homes, passed a law providing for the teaching of Home- making as a profession to our High School girls. Smith-Hughes Home Economics was established in Allen Township High School in the fall of 1922. There are between forty and fifty of these schools in the State of Ohio. Home Economics is, in a broad sense, the science of household management. It includes the study of the planning and preparation of meals, sewing, dietetics, house planning, house decoration, care of the sick, sanitation, and the general care of the home from a sanitary and economic standpoint. Girls who are entering the field of home-making with its many and varied duties will be glad that they have been able to take such a. course in High School. 4. , e 1 - .,,, , W.-...W , - if 7 W 4.
