It gives opportunity for practical study and material application of science, art, and sound business prinf ciples to daily life.

Girls wondering if their biscuits will conquer or be conquered, or learning the principles of a balanced diet for a family. ' During the past year, knitting, an AllfAmerican hobby, demanded wide attenf tion by girls in the home economics classes. The study of materials, color combinations, and styles was also taken up, not only as related to knitting, but to all modes of dress. The girls in the cooking classes, by giving wide attention to the planning of health' ful diets, made bids for future domestic happiness. Boys in the home making class learned the fundamentals of cooking, clothing a family, and balancing a budget. Truly, youth's plans for future happiness starts with reality in school.
