Home Economics Department The family is the institution basic to all cul¬ tures. One of the goals of education is the prepa¬ ration for personal and family living. Homemaking education has always been concerned with the well being of individuals and families; therefore, it makes a unique contribution for intelligent and effective family and community living. In the instructional program, experiences are provided which offer opportunity for participation in solving personal and family problems in rela¬ tionships, management, housing, child develop¬ ment, good nutrition, clothing, and health. Emphasis is given to creating and appreciating beauty, to working together democratically, to es¬ tablishing values, to making intelligent choices, to managing resources--time, energy and money, and to developing housekeeping skills.
