Some people are inclined to think that household science means simply COOKING and forget the other phases. The course includes-- = 4) . 1 The Study of Foods--The principles of dietetics and the effect of diet on.disease. . . : Few subjects deserve more careful consideration. We should understand what properties enter into foods, what ele- ments the system demands in order to build or repair,by what means these substances are best supplied, and how te prepare them so that the body may maintain its efficiency. Having ° obtained this knowledge, it is easier for us to plan a well bal- anced diet suited to the individual . 2 The Practice of Cookery--Cooking of all common foods and the preparation of invalid dishes.

Necessarily our equipment is limited at present, and we cannot hope to cover all the field; but we take up a great deal and it gives the students greater confidence to continue the work, Tyr The household science teacher needs the co-operation of the mothers. The children require opportunity to practice. Time should be taken to show them how to make things, and they should not be required to do all the monotonous work, so that they come to have the idea that housework is drudgery. Some mothers have the idea that Household Science is something new being introduced inte the school, because it is under a new name. Nevertheless it.is the work of the home. The terms used in explanation-may be alittle different from those ordinarily used, but the reason for this is that we try to correlate all our subjects on the currieulum. Household science "correlates splendidly with Science, Arithmetic, Composition, Art, ete., and we borrow terms used in teaching these sub- jects to explain the lessons of household science. what is taught is that measurements must be exact, that is where arithmetic comes in, Guessing means waste. Some are under the impression that household science merely teaches how to prepare fancy dishes and fancy salads, We give but one lesson in the year to them. but salads are us- » ~ ually attractive, and the scholars talk about them a great deal. They never tell about the day they made rolled oats porridge, prepared stewed prunes, apple sauce, or made tomato soup. Preparation of fancy dishes is not our aim, and we are contin- iving to rid the people of that mistaken idea. Our n cooking is the preparation of nutritious foods, in at- e forms such as will stimulate the appetite. parents wish tehave their daughters trained in wo- 's great work of home making, or be satisfied if they eceive "culture¥ and study only the regular subjects? The answer which is given to this question will exercise large in- fluence on the happiness sf the future generation. . © There are two kinds of opinions swaying the schools and fo-day.

Manager: ---- in school she should get closer to tHe great minds of the ages, 30 the thinkers poets, writers, and to history, art and music of all time. r The other kind of educational opinion says that your daughter is a human being with a definite line of work in life and that you owe it to her first of all to give her the best practical and theoretical training for her future life work. It holds that every woman is inherently a home maker, and that the best thing you can'do for her happiness or the welfare of' society 1s to train her in this work of home making. This opinion holds that the knowledge of home making is not sim- ple, and cannot be gained by chance, but that it is a serious: and many sided study. brimful of opportunity for a wide ap- plication of the many branches of education. These educators- insist that your daughter will be a better wife and mother, a happier home maker, if she is taught definitely HOW to apply her art, her literature, her biology, her chemistry, to the real problems she will have to face later as a home maker. They ask--Why teach art without showing her practically how to bring art into the decorating and furnishing of her home? Why teach chemistry without teaching the chemical changes caused by cooking, and right and wrong combinations of foods? Why teach psychology without teaching her how to train her children's minds. Now in my opinion it is best to take agniddle course or a combination of both opinions. We can teach cultural studies and the practical work of. household science without sacrifie- ing the good value of either.
