Start lnnovations The Home Economics Department at Seaholm is always bursting with girls and sometimes boys, to learn about home making. Besides cooking and sewing, it offers many different classes that arenit taught in other schools. Fashions and Fabrics teach the young girls how to go and buy cloth and to keep up on the current fashions. The department teaches as a course, Child Study. In another course, mar- riage and the family, they discuss such topics as broken marriages, the role of the working mother, pregnancy, and love. Child Study is a fairly new course. In it, the students study the life of a child, before and after it is born. Also included in the course are out- side speakers talking about raising children. Mrs. Mills teaches sex ed- ucation as part of Child Study. Marriage and the Family is another subject that is being used this year. Girls are taught about parentfteen re- lationships, about also families throughout the world and compare them with each other. The most im- portant topic is what marriage would really be like.
