In Tulsa, Okla., a year of home econcmics instruction is required of boys before they may be gradu- ated. In Denver, the home economics department has outlined a course entitled “Applied Economics,” which is elective by boye in the senior high school. 8o effective has the course proved that the boys in the junior high zchool are urging a similar course for them- selves, the bureau says. The Manual Arts high school of Loos Angeles for a number of years has offered a suceessful course in home economics to high school boys “It is now recognized that boys are called upon daily to select food either at home, in the school or in restaurants,” the bureau states. “They often are required to buy clothing and later in their lives, build, purchase or rent a home and | to be co-partners in the rearing of a family. “The greater part of the money that boys will earn through all their lives after they become men will be spent in their homes. A propes understanding of the prob- lems of those homes promises to be of constant practical value to them after they become men and acqnire families. “It is also recognized that some phases of home economics educa- tion are needed for boys to be- come intelligent consumers of eco- nomic goods and sympathetic par- ticipators in home and fan:ily life.” | | FLODD; SCORES and that was between halves when | “| | fougnt.
