The test was given by the home economics department. Of the homemaking courses offered Mrs. Bertha jones, department chairman, said, Our courses are centered r-afar-14 A around homemaking and understanding that will help the student in the home. We try to point out jobs that are available in this area and indicate the relationship between these jobs and homemaking skills. We also try to help students see how the things they are learning, such as good grooming, manners, getting along with others, promptness and dependability apply to jobs.
