HO E ECONO IC The Home Economics program is designed to help students to develop and exercise competencies in family care and management. lnstruction is provided in the areas of foods and nutrition, handicrafts, child care, health and safety, housing, home care of the sick, home management, and relationships within the family. The well-being of our communities and of the world depends upon the well-being of the family. No experience so permanently affects the individual as that within the home. From the home, the individual gains the deep-seated ideals that determine his growth and help him to achieve a happy, wholesome life. The family continues to be the basis of our society. E.
