011111134255 nf $111211; HE High School courses of study are made to conform, not only to the requirements of the State Course of Study for High Schools, but at the same time to offer students the subjects necessary for entrance to the standard colleges and universities.

4 12 artmmt nf 4 mm 4 wnnmim 4' n four year course is offered in Home Economics. Classes are A organized this year in cooking and in serving. The work is made practical and as Closely related as possible to the home activi- ties of the student. School credit for home work is being given this year. The system was regarded with such favor by the students during the first semester that it is being continued through- out the year. It is recognized that the school in fulfilling its highest obligations to the Child should lit him for complete citizen- ship; also, that this obligation is an obligation less of the school than of the. home and that the most economical method of meeting that obligation lies in the co-operation of the school and home. The Department of Home Economics has solicited the interest of parents in school activities by invitations in November to lectures on preventative medicine. In January two buffet lunches were given. To the first were invited the parents of all the girls in the Department; at the second, the parents of all the boys who partici- pate in athletics were invited guests. Just before Christmas a merry time was had by the Department girls and the boys of the Manual Training Department at the noon hour. To the joy of a real tree and candy bags, was added a lively, glad 4iChristmas Spirit? These social affairs, to the casual eye, mean little aside from pleasure. Besides the student workers, only the. housewife appreciates the hard work which makes such occasions successful. Greater opportunity for testing executive ability, skill, and faithfulness is afforded by the series of contest luncheons given by groups of four girls each from the cooking class. The iiblue ribbbon groupii has not yet been determined by the judges: Mrs. W. E. Faught; Mrs. Fred Peterson and Mrs. C. V. Fisher. 4 The cafeteria, which was so successfully maintained last year under the direction of the Department, has been given over entirely to the management of Mrs. Lyons. Data shows that an average of 4-7 1-2 persons ate daily at the lunch room during the hrst half of the year. In February, a Class of normal training students was organized for the purpose of introducing, through these future teachers. more industrial work in the rural schools. The rural school hot lunch is emphasized as it certainly should be. The enrollment in the Department has been so great this Year that the equipment in some instances has been doubled in order to accommodate the students. From such large Classes,a goodly number will doubtless be candidates for the third years work in 1914-15. A half credit is given for the Iirst semesteris course, 4iThe House and the other half credit is given for the last semesters course, 44Persona1 Hygiene and House Nursing? Only students who have a credit in cooking are eligible to this course. Page 1 3
