The purpose of Homemaking Education at Jefferson is to help students take part in homemaking activities in their paternal home and to prepare for establishing their future homes. The Home Economics Department offers four years of Home Economics to girls and one year to boys. Included in these courses are food and nutrition, child care and de- velopment, housing, nursing care, clothing, management, and family relationships. Homemaking plays an important role in our educational system. It is practical, in- teresting and broadening. Since the home continues to be the foundation of our democratic way of life, homemaking has a very vital part to play in training students. Pupils enrolled in homemaking may join the Future Homemakers of America, State, and National organizations, which provide additional opportunity for the development of leadership. These organizations stress the importance of being good members of the family, the school and the community.
