16 THE ROSEBUD MANUAL TRAINING No great amount of Shop Work was done by the High School boys this year as tlie students have already done much more than the required amount of this kind of work. The Grade boys gave one period a week to the work. The work was largely elementary, care and us» of tools, squaring stock, planing, ripping, laying out problems, etc. A small table with checkerboard top was made by each student that applied all the various problems of squaring, mitering, gluing, mortise and tenon making, and finishing. COMMERCIAL LAW A new subject introduced this year which is proving to be a decided suc- cess is Commercial Law. The students feel that it is work that is of direct benefit to them as it brings them in touch with some of tin common phases of every-day business life. The work is given in one semester and covers the subjects of Contracts, Agency, Negotiable Papers, Sales and Transfer of Property. Insurance, Part- nership and Corporations. DOMESTIC SCIENCE Every woman should know something about the science of cooking and the art of sewing. Many girls do not have the advantage of learning much of these subjects at home, so because of their importance, they have been given a place in the life of the school. One of the objects in introducing cooking and sewing in the public schools is to stimulate in the lives of our girls an interest for home-making. This year, more so than ever, our girls have had a chance to become acquainted with the problems of the home. In our cooking we have tried to follow the food conservation plans of Mr. Hoover, tin food administrator, in which he asks us to use foods which heretofore were not used extensively in our diet. And many of the recipes we found very satisfactory, especially the cereal dishes, and also tin war breads, in which we used corn-meal, oat-meal, rye, barley, graham and whole wheat flours. The substitute foods must be used in the diet at tin present time and our girls have learned how to cook many of these foods, so without doubt this fund of knowledge, small as it may be, helps our mothers with their food problems. Among useful things in the line of sewing, our girls have made simple garments for the poor and wearing apparel for themselves. They have also learned the old-fashioned art of knitting and have devoted much of their time to knitting for the Red Cross.
