Department The Home Economics Department of the Mansfield State Teachers College has earned the reputation for having one of the finest Home Economics courses in the state. This course especially prepares young women for the teaching profession, but it is so comprehensive that other types of positions related to the field are open to its graduates. The young women are given every possible opportunity to practice Home Eco- nomics in all of its phases. In our very attractive apartment on campus, small groups of students live for a period of six weeks with a resident director during their junior year. The principles they have been taught in other home economics classes are put in- to practice. Also they spend nine weeks managing the school lunch at the junior high school. The lunches are planned with consideration of nutritional value, attractiveness of food and economy of cost. The nursery school is an important part of the senior girls curriculum. For one semester they are associated with the children, learning of their habits and personalities. Each student teaches a semester on campus under careful guidance and has the addition- al privilege of teaching under supervision in a vocational homemaking department in an approved high school in Pennsylvania. Fashion shows, food demonstrations, dinners, teas, and exhibits are interesting. worthwhile projects and activities of the department. The course at Mansfield meets the requirement for certification in Home Economics Education and in addition each stu- dent gains inspiration and knowledge with which to encourage others in the community to create better home living and as an ultimate goal — live graciously in her own home or within her profession. 25
