HOME 86014004165 gives girls information useful to them in all phases of life. In these classes they are taught how to select, construct and care for their clothing so as to make an attractive personal appearance. Problems in home management, child care, nutrition, health and leisure time form a large part of the curriculum. CfltemiSf'LKI students are taught scientific facts, are given a basic knowledge of science, and a chance to experiment and discover facts for themselves. Facts are much more interesting when discovered by the student himself, thus encouraging individual interests. For this reason lab days are popular in chemistry classes. Even though many students do not continue with science they find it makes an interesting and broadening background for ordinary life. '20 Gwzfzicu at
