The first year class started out with an enrollment of eighteen. This work in- cludes a study of foods, marketing, meal planning and serving, budgeting, clothing, textiles, personal hygiene and the care of the house. Correlated with this is Science and Art applied to 'the home. The second year work which was not offered last year because of such a small group, had an enrollment of sixteen. This work consists of the preservation of food, nutrition and dietetics, advanced clothing, house Planning and decoration, home man- agement problems and child care. A Home Economics course calls for a certain amount of home work in which the co-operation of the Mother is essential. First the work is in the form of Home Prac- tice which leads up to the Home Project. The aim of Vocational Education in Home Economics is to train girls and women for the vocation of homemaking. One of the fundamental principles, therefore, requires that the training to be efficient shall be conducted under conditions that duplicate as nearly as possible those under which the vocation itself must later be carried on. Since the school cannot provide conditions that are found in a normal home, it is necessary to supplement the school facilities by providing for the participation of students in normal homemaking activities in their own homes. The work thus carried on to supplement the work of the school is known as home projects. This not only gives the girl valuable training' in homemaking 1'e- sponsibilities under normal home conditions but it is also a valuable means of pro- moting desirable relationships between the home, the girl, and 'the school. lt is hoped that a girl who completes this course shall have considerable knowledge about homemaking activities, a creditable degree of skill in performing those activities which fall to her lot, an appreciation of real home life and a consciousness of the part of the mother and the girl, in shaping that home life, and. shall have established many habits of healthful living.

The depart- ment is now housed in the two buildings which makes it much more convenient for carrying on the work. The snap shots shown in this write-up were taken of some of the projects that are being car- ried on in connection with the Vocational Agriculture work. The project work is considered a very important part of the course and a good deal of time is spent on this phase of the work, The student selects his project after discussion in class on pro- ject work and after talking with his parents and instructor. The projects are selected with the THE Vocational Agriculture Department started out the year with the largest enroll- ment that the department has ever had, there being a total of fifty students enrolled. Of this number twenty-seven were en- rolled in Farm Engineering and twenty-three in Animal Produc- tion. The Agriculture Department has added to its buildings since last year. During the summer, work was started by the instruc- tor on another building the same size as the present one, twenty- four feet wide and forty-eight feet long, This building has a classroom for Agricultural in- struction, a tool room, paint room and store room. This was SHEEP PROJECT HOG PROJECT idea that it will give the boy a start in something that he is in- terested in and also that there is a good possibility of his making money on. The project also gives the boy an opportunity to put into practice some of the in- struction received in the class- room. Some of the projects car- ried were, one hundred head of sheep, fifty turkeys. fourteen acres of alfalfa, and eighteen hogs. The boy is urged to make his project a continuous one, and to increase the size each year, thus giving him a very good start in some phase of farming at the end of a four year course. BEVENTEEN
