High School Industrial Work. (Continued From Page One.) statement: “It is vitally important that a girl should early have her interest aroused in domestic affairs, sbould, so to speak, get ber mind to working that way.} Then she will in- evilably take notice of a host of household phenomena to which ske has otherwise been blind. You ex- pect her to forget some of the cookery facts you teach just as she parts with geography or ber French. But she cannot ridgherself of certain opened brain tracks, a certain quickening of the mind toward domestic concerns whicb will have their strong tendency in makiog the home-maker.” Maurice Le Bosquet of the Ameri- can School of Home Economics says: ‘he object from the educational standpviut is not to turn out accomp- lished c ; it is to teach manual dexterity and principles so that a girl developes into a home-maker.” There you have it from voth of these recognized authorities, one a woman, the other a man, in clear, uo- mistakable language. The girl is to be taught the art and science of housekeeping that she may become a home-maker. More and more it is becoming recog- nized in this scientitic age that a happy, successful home means two important factors: a husband who shall be a home provider and suc- cessful bread winner, and awife who has the training and the necessary mental equipment to become a true home-maker, /and that both must be trained as carefully, practically and scientifically as means, opportunities and station in life will permit. I think it is pretty generally agreed that good and wholesome as was the life of our grandmothers, it would scarcely meet the requirements of present day life. The home-maker of today must not only be a better ed- ucated. woman, a broader minded woman, but her superior mental equipment must at least not unfit her for that sphere to which nature destived her and which she probably looks forward to as the crowning glory of her life, that of a happy con- tented housewife and home-maker. I think you will agree with me that it is not going far from the mark at any rate to hold that the average girl will eventually preside over a home of herown. There should go into her equipment for ljfe, therefore, those factors that are Most likely to make her a home-maker in the best sense of the word. Not only must she have good health, but she must know how to induce and preserve physical Strength and perfection. The timeis past when the mind is to be educated while the physical and moral sides are neglected. Now we try to develop the whole child, bis mind, his body his soul, that when the boy comes to manhood or the girl to womanhood, each may best find his place in life and fill it acceptably to self and to society; the boy to- become a manly man and the girl a womanly woman. It has been proved beyond question that you cannot draft a boy’s life away from manual labor and expect him to come to manhoud with correct yiews of life, if he is to make his living with his hands and stand ir harmonious relation to the great working world or if he turns to the professions or to politics. Because of this, industrial educa- tion is made a part of the boy’s schooling. Familiarity with tools and their use induces him to respect manual labor and whatever his pos- ition in life may be he will be the better man because of it. More slow- ly, but with equal certainty, the con- viction has grown that what is good for the doy is good for the girl until now every up-to-date school system includes domestic arts and science in its course of study. Its object is primarily to familiarize the gir! with household cares and duties, to give her respect for them and ultimately |a mental perspective of the home, its duties, its pleasures and its possibil- ities, that shall broaden, deepen and exalt her conception of it. But, you say, why does not the home itself do this? Who better than the mother can make of the daughter the idea) home-maker? I answer it is Nor done in the ordinary family, and it is doubtful if it can be done there. And for the best of all reasons, the mother herself prefers that the school shall do it. The home fortunately feels the impetus ‘toward higher ideals with which the is charged. The training the home of today demands can ro longer’be furn- ished by the home itself. Even among experienced housekeepers, there is not enough knowledge of the nature of foods and their proper com- binations. The result is a great deal of unwholesome cookery and the con- sequent injury and waste which must follow. Dislike for the work is usually due to lack of success and failure is attributed to ill luck, poor materials or any cause but the true one which is ignorance of the subject. Of course good dishes cannot be made out of poor materials but too often poor dishes are made out of good materials.’ The systematic teaching of household affairs cannot fail of good results. ‘The skill to develop the natural flavors of a food, to.render it perfectly and thuroughly digesti- ble, to convert it into a delicate viand cannot be acquired in a haphazard way. Cooking cannot be done by guess work. There are right and wrong methods in the kitchen as well as in the laboratory and there is no doubt that the awakening interest in the subject of domestic science is neither by accident or by whim, but the result of a necessity for better ways of living. ‘You may say well and good. Then teach cookery with a portion of everyday foods such as meats, vege- tables and breads. Why dabble in pastries, salads, deserts and cakes? I would say io reply to such an inquiry, that each has its place in our : ea whole atmosphere of living and doing theory and science, but teach plain! SO Se is toe Me foods if properly cooked. By the mere|\ fact alone ot their being attractively prepared aud lending variety to our meals,they contribute food. value. For who -will not admit if a dish is dainty io appearance and pleasing to|, the eye it is also pleasing to the palate and more easily digested and assimilated than a food unattractive- ly served. Aside from this fact each has its particular food value. Take, for instance, the salads. In hot weather nothing is more deliciously cool and refreshing to the palate than salad. Its very appearance iseat once an invitation and delight. Salads when skilfully made and artistically arranged are grateful tothe taste and pleasing to the sight and should therefore have a prominent place. The hygenic value of salads cannot be overestimated. Again, pie when properly made is perhaps as healthful and nutritious as any ordinary article: of food. And if properly made, pie ever. produces indigestior, it is be- cause it is eaten between meals or at the close of a meal when the stomach is over crowded. So why should we not teach what some people may term fancy cookery since it has a legitimate place in our foods. If then this work should be pre- sented to the girl and she cannot obtain it at home, where then is a better place than the public school? It may and should be supplemented in the home but the practica! and scientific knowledge, the high ideals and the fine notion of the harmonious and beautiful with which every home-maker should be equipped must come through and in connection with a girl’s school life.” We also have the by the yard.
