Any girl interested in improving her abilities as a homemaker finds unlimited opportunities in the Home lkianagenient and Household Arts classes. Since a homemaker is responsible for maintaining an attractive home and caring for children, the course is devoted to decorat- ing and furnishing, sewing and child care. Cooking class teaches the importance of a well-balanced diet and the preparation of appealing. nutritious meals. In addition to her duties as cook, nurse, and interior decorator, the homemaker as the treasurer of the household also requires a knowledge of budget planning. Moreover, since the modern young matron is expected to be poised and well-groomed, a unit emphasizing personal appear- ance, personality, and the selection of a suitable wardrobe is also profitable. Knowledge and valuable experience gained in this depart- ment are vital in any girlis life whether she becomes a career girl or a wife and mother. S 2 X
