Mrs. Bartlett heads the department. The homemaking sequence is designed primarily to prepare youth for the responsibilities of homemakers.

She must be an expert in human relations and management and have under- standing and skill in meeting and solving problems. Today's home- maker has responsibilities differ- ent from those of the past. Well- planned preparation and contin- ued help for the homemakers are needed.

These courses will all help the student prepare for the time when she will be a homemaker. 22 Pre-heat the oven at 450 . Z- 4 14409 Q PM 'E '9 X1 I. als-gf 'aid
