DUMESTIE IJ TIES Dressmaking is on especial art and one that is very important to all young ladies who wish to be homemakers, Miss Wright is showing this class of girls how to cut a pattern correctly. Here we see a ditierent sewing class making a hem, the scientific way. The girls measure their hems so thot they are the required thirteen inches from the Hoar. ln this way our students have that trim new lock. 'lf These are two scenes typical of Miss Carr's sewing class. The sewing room is well equipped with modern sewing machines, electric irons, and the latest patterns and models. The girls seem to enioy making use of our sewing implements.

Very often because of the training received in these classes, the young ladies will decide to become fashion designers or dieticians.

Many times in school, perhaps too much emphasis is placed upon academic studies, but this practical training is equally as im- portant as that of college preparatory and busi- ness, since it prepares girls not only for possible professions, but also for their most vital role, that of wife and mother.

Here we would encounter the pupils busily engaged in studying and analyzing the constitution of the United States, The Declaration of Independence and other documents which, handed down from the ages, tend to teach us that all men are created equal. The students are also taught about the governments under the rule of dictators, fascists and totalitarianism, and examine the defects of these gov- ernments. In this way we are better able to appreciate our democratic United States. To preserve this democracy which we cherish dearly, we learn to recognize the needs and problems of our government and. find and apply the answers to them. We are aware that the defense of democracy demands more than a salute to the flag, a repetition of the citizens creed, or a patriotic speech. lt means more than an effort to preserve our civil liberties. It means the participation of all of us in the great work of building an America in which the ideals of Democracy find full realization. The class gives Mr. Leader its undivided attention as he informs them of the principles of U. S. History. This subiect, whech offers pupils information not only of the past but even of the present, emphasizes the theme of democracy throughout each chapter studied. After completing this course of U. S. History, the pupils understand the problems of democracy and appreciate the manner in which our government is run .n comparison with former times.
