VOCATIONAL AGRICULTURE The Parker Vocational Agriculture Department is teaching thirty-three boys how to become thirty-three better farmers by following its motto Learning by Doing.n In this department the rural high school boy is offered countless ad- vantages and opportunities to help him make the most of his time and money. Field trips teach the boy to do the job as it should be done. The boys are able to select the best livestock through principles and points learned in judg- ing all types and kinds of livestock. In Farm Shop we find necessary and important training from the small job up to the more spectacular or farm size job. During the year four wagon boxes,two hay racks, three concrete soil packers, one complete tractor repair job, and one car overhauling job will have been completed. Each boy learns to do blacksmith work and is taught soldering by making numerous articles such as dust pans,cookie cut- ters,and sugar scoops.Among the many other small jobs in farm shop are harness re- pairing and oiling. ,..

HOME ECONOMICS About eight years ago a third year course ln Home Economics was added to the curriculum which made it possible for a girl to secure a major in Home Economics. The work is elective and open to any girl in school. In the Freshman year Foods is taught the first semester and clothing the sec- ond semester. The underlying principles of nutrition fundamentals of cook1ng,pre- paring and serving of a breakfast are stressed. The clothing work commences with learning of decorative embroidery stitches and their application. The use of the sewing machine and making of commonly used seams and hems,the requirements of good design and choice of style and colors are stressed. Garments such as slips,aprons, and plain dresses are made. The work of the sophomore year is divided into a semester each of clothing and foods. It is really a continuation of the first year's work. A continued study of meal planning is made in theory and practice. Garments are made of silk and wool fabrics. The third year course is ca1led'Home L1ving.' It covers a broad field of sub- ject matter such as the home and family,budgets, domestic architecture, choice and arrangement of furniture, health, and home care of the sick. The girls gain much useful information and practical experience. At various times throughout the year they help with banquets and parties. ! 'N ' ,.
