The work taken up in Domestic Science 10, is more Domestic Art than Science. The first semester work includes underwear and the use of commercial patterns. A few weeks at Chiistmas time are given over to the making of fancy work for Christmas gifts. The second semester the work includes simple drafting and designing, also making of shirt waist and dress. This year, for the first time the girls have made children’s clothes for people who would furnish the material. In additon to this, they have assisted in making material for the Red Cross society, such as the “housewife” for the soldiers and bed socks for the hospital box the local society is preparing. The latter part of he year they take up color work that applies to decoration of the home. The theory for this work consists of a study of textiles and sewing equipment in general. They also study hist ay of costume, designs, hygiene of clothing, economics of dress, clothing budgets, color and design as applied to decoration of clothing and of the home. DOMESTIC SCIENCE 9. The work covered by the girls in Cookery—Domestic Science 9— gives them a good general knowledge of foods and their preparation. The first of the year they can fruit for the ladies of the town, if the materials are fu nished. After that their laboratory work consists of the preparation of representative foods in all the different classes of foods. The work has been more enjoyable this year on account of the new range and electric plates that have been installed. The latter part of the laboratory work consists of the preparation and serving of meals. The usual allowance for eight people has been two dollars for eight people, but on account of higher prices this year the allowance has been raised to two dollars and eighty cents. The last thing is invalid cookery and in this work only a few of the liquid, semi-liquid and light diets for special cases are given. In theory the first semester, the study is given to foods, as to classification, source, preparation for market, ad digestion. The second semester deals with sanitation, care of small children, nursing in cases of emergency, bandaging and care of wounds, household budgets and simple work on balanced meals.
