HOUSEHOLD ARTS The purpose of this course, with Miss Hazel Eames as instructor, is to teach the basic principles of household management. One term may find the girls preparing themselves for the tasks that will face them in later years-such tasks as the planning and cooking of meals, the planning of proper diets, and the correct ways of operating the devices used in modern kitchens. In another term the girls may concentrate on the 'fundamentals of sewing. They learn how to operate and care for a sewing machine, study different types of materials and the selection of suitable material for various articles of clothing. The finished garments turned out by th'e girls in this course are articles of which they may indeed be proud. Interior decorating is another phase of home-making which adds fascination to the Household Arts course and helps the girls to plan for future attractive homes of their own. 69
