Statistics show that the chances are ninety to ten that she will marry and establish a home of her own. Sweetser School has a completely modern homemaking departm nt planned to meet the present and future needs of its students. For the first time in man years, seventh and eighth grade students have been offered an introductory unit which briefly covered many phases of home economics. Care of children, basic cookery, use of the sewing machine, sim le garment construction, care of clothing, and care of the house were included. It was a proud day when eighteen seventh and eighth grade girls could wear skirts and blouses they had made. The freshman student plans and prepares breakfasts and suppers in family groups. She studies personal behavior problems and etiquette. Her clothing is the chief subject for a semesterfs study. In 1951-S2 girls made a blouse, a skirt, and dress and many girls completed additional prob- lems 0 Sophomores concentrate on food for the family for one semester. Meal planning and preparation and freezing, canning, and buying food are rep- resentative units. Care of children and home health and care of the sick are other subjects. Practical work is offered here by caring for children at school and Nsickn students in class. Family living, money management, home furnishing and care of the house are studied by juniors and seniors. A semester is devoted to advanced clothing problems. up to date equipment includes four kitchens each with a range, sink and cabinets. A refrigerator, automatic clothes washer, clothes drier, and dishwasher complete the kitchen. Electric sewing machines, a steam iron, storage cabinets, and three way mirror are part of the equipment planned to make clothing construction easy and enjoyable. Each student carries out three home projects during the year in order to put into practice those things studied at school. In no other subject is there need for closer co-ordination between home and school.
