LIBRARY OF CONQf^ESS ~— iliii tH ii m — — ^11 I I I » ^ SUGGESTIONS FOR INTRODUCING A COURSE OF STUDY IN HOME ECONOMICS INTO THE RURAL AND VILLAGE HIGH SCHOOLS OF OHIO The Purpose of Home Economics in the Curriculuni The introducing of home economics into the cnrricuhun of a snia'.l liigh school is a i>roblem which is requiring special consideration on the part of su];.r;ntendents, teachers, and the community. It is the purpose of this Ijullctin to set forth briefly some helpful suggestions for the carrying out of such a course of study. llefore considering the details o^f this problem, it is well to have in mind the meaning of home economics, or a definite ideal to be reached by introducing such teaching into the school. Home economics has been defined by the American Home Economics Association as follows : "home economics, as a distinctive subject of instruction, is a study of the eco- nomic, sanitary, and aesthetic aspects of food, clothing, and shelter as connecled with their selection, preparation, and use by the family in the home cr by other groups of people." It becomes a complicated problem, because it is made up of many composite occupations, such as the feed- ing, clothing and housing of the family, with relation to the social, hygienic, economical and aesthetic aspects oi life. Since it is known that 90% of all women enter the vocation of ' homemaking or become directors of homes, and the remaining lo'A are respon.sible for some duties in the home, tlierefore the ideal to be reached by introducing such training is to train homemakers and to^ improve living conditions in the community. ' If this training is to function in the community and is given with the idea in mind to train girls for the vocation of homemaking, it should then be on the same plane as any other subject given in the curriculum, and the course of study and the placing of equipment should demonstrate this. The Teacher of Home Economics In order to carry out the ideals of this course, it will be necessary to have a teacher with training in the subject matter of home economics, related science and art, and non-related work, as well as practical ex- perience in the management of a house. Unless the teacher ha.s a broad vision of the field of homemaking, and its relation to the community', the course will not function. Four years of college training with 3040%. home economics subjects, 20-25% related technical subjects, 12-15% professional subjects, 15-25% academic subjects is desirable. A niature teacher with some practical experience and two years of t;rainji5g 'rrjight (3) :^i;-rni>:o-:..;;f.-. ■'jo oJrsffi'XO'ioqA be qualified to carry on the work of a teacher having had four years of training. Equipment The amount of space necessary for equipping for such a course, dq>ends very largely on the conditions in each community. The plans used should approximate home conditions. Two adjoining rooms of approximately 24x36 ft., should be provided, or one large room, ap- proximately 28x36 ft., if properly arranged, may prove satisfactory. A house equipped and used for such instruction is one of the most ideal ways to carry out the course. The location of the rooms, if in the school building, should not be in the basement, as has been the plan in previous years, but should be on the first or second floors. The clothing room should have a north exposure, while the kitchen should be well lighted and ventilated, and should be provided with means for disposal of waste. The floor should not be cement, due to unsanitary condition and coldness. The equipment for such a department may be purchased from manufacturers or built by local carpenters. For detailed description of this, and drawing of equipment (including rooms, tables, cupboards, locker cases, etc.,) see Bulletin No. 2 — "Plans and Suggestions for Equipping a Home Economics Department" issued by State Board of Education, Columbus, Ohio. This bulletin will be sent free on request. The following list of equipment is given as representative of a typical village or consolidated rural school.

With the first the teacher must make an analysis of the occupation of homemaking, and with the second, a survey of the comiuunity is nec- essary. Several suggestive curricula are given below. It must be empha- sized that home economics ought not be taken up merely as a subjcrl. 6 tut as a unified line O'f study to be pursued for as long as possible. It should be remembered that it is not possible to train in the vocation of homemaking, by merely electing one phase of home economics for a short time. FOUR-YEAR COURSE First Year.

This course may be placed in aii}- two years of the High School that is Freshman and Sophomore, or Sophomore and Junior, or Junior 8 and Senior. The advantage of a two-year course is that it leaves the other two years open for other subjects, or permits a girl to train for a wage-earning pursuit as well as the vocation of homemaking. The related science given depends on the two years chosen for the course. ONE-YEAR COURSE No. of Subject. Periods Length of Credits Per Week. Period.

This course is planned for any year of the High School, and for a school that can devote but one year to the work. It would be desirable to place it in the sophomore or junior year, since an older student will be more able to do intensive work. It is realized that in the short time only a survey or viewpoint may be given on some phases of the subject. A double perio'd of ninety minutes is the time best adapted to presenting various phases of home economics; however, a one hundred and twenty minute period may work into some of the High School schedules to advantage. Subject Content of Course These courses have been worked out on the assumption that no previous work has been given. Only a brief outline is presented for the different phases or the most important points emphasized; as more time is allotted to the course more intensive work may be given. The teacher must adjust these course to her own needs, and they are merely given as suggestive. Food Study, Selection and Preparation of Food, Planning auid Serving Meals ELEMENTARY DIETETICS I.

If there is a room in the building which needs refurnishing, such as a rest- room, it is suggested that the students paint the wood work, do any necessary refinishing on the furniture, make new curtains, put new cretonne cushions in the chairs, and possibly make a lamp shade for the candle stick on the table. It is suggested that the work be taken up in the order of the outline, with the exception of the last two items, which may be inserted any time during the latter part of the year. Trips to stores dealing in any items of house furnishing will add in- terest to the course. Many problems may be added to or substituted for those given, ac- cording to the particular conditions in each school. Home Meuiagement I. Introduction A. Aim and scope of the course B.

The home project may be carried out during the school year or the summer months. Projects in homemaking should be carefully supervised by the teacher through home visits and conferences with the students. By the home visits the teacher has a real opportunity to become acquainted with the community and thus make her teaching function. Each student should plan and work out a home project on all phases of homemaking sometime during her course. The plan for carrying out the home project is given in detail in the bulletin "Suggestions for Home Projects in Voca- tional Home Economics in Ohio" — State Board of Education, Colum- bus, Ohio, and will be sent free on request. School Lunch The home economics teacher should consider it a part of her duty as well as an opportunity to provide a nutritious lunch for boys and girls who are compelled to eat a cold lunch at school. It also presents a practical working laboratory for food preparation and management to the home economics classes. However, the routine work of cleaning, washing dishes and cooking such as preparing cocoa, sandwich mak- ing, etc., should be done by. paid labor. For the organization of the School Lunch see "Plans for the Serving of Lunches in Centralized Schools of Ohio", published by Extension Service, Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio. Maintenance of a Home Economics Department The maintenance of such a department will be small when measured by results accomplished. The cost is small for clothing and garment making, since pupils furnish their own materials, or, if garments are made for other people, reimbursement is made to the department. The cost of the food preparation will vary with the locality and the size of classes. It has been estimated at five cents per lesson per person, or an average of $8.00 to $10.00 per student, when the class meets five times a week. In order to decrease these expenses and find a market for the production of the lunch room, food sales, and teachers' lunches should be utilized. The general upkeep of the department should be met by public funds, and not be placed as a burden on the teacher. References A number of books, bulletins and some illustrative material should be provided in order to successfully teach a course. A careful selection should be made from the following lists. If desirable text books are found, the teacher should not hesitate to use them. However, she should not confine herself to one book, but supplement with others. 31 first year Food Study and Cooking: Carpenter — How the World is Fed — American Book Co.
