THE HOMEMAKING DEPARTMENT There are some things that every woman should know: how to manage her time and moneyg how to choose food, and build habits of healthful living: how to follow the simple rules of behaviorg how to choose clothes that are becoming, and will give good scrviceg how to care for her clothes, and how to keep herself well groomed. There are other things that every homemaker should know: how to pre- pare family mealsg how to furnish and care for a houseg how to organize family business matters on a sound financial basisg how to meet emergencies, such as accidents and illnessg how to care for children. These essential things make up the subject matter of the homemaking de- partment. These things the girls are actually doing in their attractive and homelike roomg and applying in their own homes, by means of home project work required. Besides the courses for girls, a class for boys is being offered for the Hrst time. This will include cooking, family finances, care of a boy's clothing, and manners for moderns. The adult classes, which were started last spring, will be continued in the fall term. THE AGRICULTURE DEPARTMENT Certainly every boy who lives on a farm should master something of the science of agriculture. In fact, it would be helpful to any boy, regardless of his future occupation, to have a practical knowledge of animal husbandry, of raising crops and of farm management. Our agriculture department aims to give each boy in the course a basic knowledge of these fundamental things concerning the industry of agriculture upon which the nation depends for its very life. There has developed in cer- tain areas a misconception concerning the purpose of agricultural departments in high schools. Many people feel that the study of agriculture is for those unable to master academic subjects. Onondaga Central does not hold to this point of view, but rather would encourage every boy, regardless of his voca- tional plans, to pursue the study of agriculture.
