THE HOME ECONOMICS
GIRLS’ WORK
The Home Economic depart
ment aims to further the work of
scientific management and effi
ciency. Emphasis is placed upon
efficiency and system in the practi
cal training of the girls, both in
the laboratory-kitchen and the
home-kitchen. The ability to ar
range her buying and planning sys
tematically and to master all house
hold affairs under any circumstan
ces, are what each girl acquires.
Instruction in dietetics renders
every girl capable of fulfilling the
position of dietetian in hospitals.
An advanced study of food compo
sition and nutritive value is includ
ed. Instruction in cooking and
serving meals to individuals, fam
ilies and groups, is given. Dietet
ics for well, ill or convalescent per
sons are planned. Practical exper
ience in serving sick trays is ob
tained.
A training m the method of
teaching, is also acquired. A move
ment'has been started whereby the*
teaching will he carried on in the
rural schools. Boy Scouts are
taught camp-cookery at night class
e=, and evening lessons for work
ing girls are meeting with success.
Classes in the town high schools
and grammar schools are also con
ducted.
Advanced cooking for formal
and special occasions, and foreign
cooking are the different phases of
the cookery class. Seniors plan,
buy, and serve, on a business-like
scale for a week at a time. A giv
en income is allowed and the girls
work in groups of four. This is
done in addition to their regular
class-work.
The college idea to go out and
extend her knowledge to the com
munity in which she lives, is im
pressed upon every girl with this
training.
