Excerpt from Home Economics in Rural Schools One pupil should act as bookkeeper for an assigned period and should send a weekly statement to each family. This gives invaluable experience in book keeping as well as in arithmetic. The third method is by all means the easiest method and results in a surety as to the food supply, but too often results in an exclusion from the lunch of some needy child or group of children who can not afford to pay in money, but who could have easily paid in some farm product. Before adopting this method the teacher should assure herself that it will work no hardship for any child and should furthermore make sure that, in eliminating the cooperation required under the second-named plan, she is not losing a valuable opportunity of arousing community interest in the children's welfare and in school activities. In the fourth method much of that which results from the second is secured, and it is an especially good way to secure supplies if all the children are too small to carry the extra foods and if they must walk too far to have extra burdens. The fifth way of securing food supplies is encouraged in some States and has been decided to be illegal in others. As home economics is required to be taught in the rural schools in certain States, the products of the class work may be used in the lunch and the cost charged to home economics instruction, as any other instructional material is charged to the general school expenses. This is not considered advisable. The business conduct of the lunch becomes part of its educational value, and this, together with the training in cooperation and in carrying responsibilities, is lost when the school authorities supply the food. Moreover, free food does not accord with American ideals and proves an offense to many school patrons. Home economics can not be properly taught in a school wherein there is an inadequate water supply. The very first lesson in food preparation includes a discussion of water as a food, as a cleansing agent, and as an essential in all personal hygiene. Hence, any plans for teaching home economics instruction must be abandoned in schools where children are expected to bring their day's supply of drinking water along with their cold lunches.

Excerpt from The Journal of Home Economics, 1922, Vol. 14 Most superintendents are willing and able to take the first steps, one of which is the equipment Of their schools with scales. Of the 59 cities in New York State, for instance, only 4 have no scales in the schools. Of the 58 villages in the state only 9 have no scales in the schools. In some parts of the state, scales in the rural schools are found in surpris ing numbers. In Erie County the Red Cross has helped to equip 131 rural schools with scales. In Broome, Chenango, and Sullivan Counties the Red Cross has taken a similar step. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Country Life Education Success had hardly been attained in collegiate courses in agriculture when secondary schools for agricultural education began successfully to develop. In 1888 the University of Minnesota began an experiment at developing an agricultural high-school course. This experiment is of none the less value anal of all the greater interest because it was an outgrowth of the failure of agricultural courses of collegiate grade to gain a foothold in a State university. Just as Congress by its landgrant act forced colleges of agriculture upon the State, this agricultural high-school movement was injected into the school system upon the initiative of farmers and business men. At present between thirty and forty agricultural high schools have been established in the United States. In one line of country-lit'e education school men and nonschool men have together taken up the practical in school work. Farmers and educators together have entered upon the development of rural schools so as to have them cover agriculture and home economics as well as the Three R's. Thus the school people are especially championing the consolidation of rural schools, and the farmers are laying stress upon the introduction of agriculture into all rural schools. Both classes are rap idly coming to favor both propositions. The farmers are coming to see that agriculture can not be successfully introduced into the one-room rural schools, and the teachers are coming to see that agriculture and home economies are to have very strong positions in the primary country school curriculum alongside the Three R's.

Excerpt from Teaching Home Economics The object of this book is to offer suggestions for the organization, administration, and teaching of the home economics studies. In the preparation of the book the authors have endeavored to adapt it to the various types of persons whose needs they hope to serve. Before the war these studies were recognized by some as an essential part of the general education of every girl. With the declaration of peace, they assume a new significance and appear as an indispensable part of her education. This is true because every girl needs instruction regarding better and more healthful living, and training in those practices which will enable her to live her daily life more intelligently, to rear her children more thoughtfully, and to serve her community and country more efficiently. These studies are needed by some because they prepare also for certain definite wage-earning vocations. This book draws the distinction between home economics studies as organized for general or liberal education purposes and such lines of specialized vocational training as may have grown out of them. It is the conviction of the authors that only through a closely woven course involving both theory and practice can the subject matter offered have any real value to the students. The book presupposes courses in the various phases of Home Economics, - practical, scientific, artistic, economic, and sociological, - of greater or less intensity. In other words, it is taken for granted that the student who will use it will be familiar with the scope of the field, and that her course in methods will serve as a means of evaluating and unifying the material she gains through her technical courses, and interpreting it in terms of elementary and secondary school teaching.
