Meal Planning and Food Preparation


As most food is still prepared in homes, the family meal is made the basis of instruction for home economics courses dealing with foods. But before a meal can be cooked for a family it is necessary to know something about the nutritive needs of each member and what can be purchased at the market. The size of the family purse is also a controlling factor. This requires, in turn, the introduction of the family budget in order to determine the proper proportion to be allotted for food.


Serving is the next step. Here dishes, table covering, and the kinds of service all must be considered from the standpoint of family needs.


39


Then comes the work of cleaning up, including dish washing.


An attempt is made to follow the seasons and holidays so as to parallel the home activities. This year the girls found pleasure in making fruit cakes and cookies which were donated to a charitable organization for their Christmas baskets.


Home Nursing and Child Care


The course in Home Nursing as given by the School Nurse in the High School gives correct and effective ways of caring for the sick, the way to act in emergen- cies and how to bathe and dress a baby. This is sup- plemented by a course in dietetics.


The fact that over ninety percent of all women marry, is evidence that their most logical sphere is home- making. With proper training this vocation becomes a fascinating enterprise which gives scope for the ex- ercise of the best artistic and social talents. When all of the duties are well performed, it means that prepara- tion, thought, and skill of a high order are employed in the task. Hence home-making rises to the dignity of an art or a profession.


There are about sixty-five girls enrolled in the home- making classes this year.

REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF INDUSTRIAL ARTS IN THE HIGH SCHOOL TO THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS


Dear Sir :


I herewith submit my annual report as Supervisor of Practical Arts.


Good progress has been made in the department dur- ing the past year. I have endeavored to give the stu- dents full advantage of the opportunity offered to im- prove their desires, together with their ability to ac- tually accomplish something of value, both to them- selves and to the home.


This past year the two outstanding projects accomp- lished were the constructing of seven sets of bleachers for the Theron Metcalf field and the building of a con- crete walk for the High School.


What boys of high school age can do in building a concrete walk has been demonstrated by the one hun-


41


dred pupils in the Manual Training classes. They built in less than two weeks a stretch of walk 100 feet long and 4 feet wide, having a thickness of 5 inches. The total cost was 54.50. The money was presented to the school by the class of 1929.


The increasing number of pupils electing the Practical Arts course has once again made a difficult problem. Our shop space at the present time is limited to classes not to exceed 24. In some cases, classes are over this limit. The shop is in urgent need of an additional room for wood finishing.


A "Safety Campaign" is being conducted. This is imperative, as increasing numbers are using the power machinery. Some risk is entailed in their operation, and safety precautions must be taken against careless- ness of the boys. If we are to achieve freedom from ac- cidents, certain rigid rules must be adhered to. In five and one-third years we have had only one minor acci- dent due to gross negligence of the boy. We have been fortunate in not having a real serious accident, and considering the total number of boys using the ma- chines, our casualty percentage is very low.


Advanced Mechanical Drawing was taught under the method used in previous years. All instruction was entirely individual, due to the mixed grouping of the classes. Correlation with the shop was an important feature. The boys' ideas were worked out in the draw- ing room then blue printed, and from the prints the boys made the actual object they laid out on paper.


In May the annual exhibition was held. It afforded the citizens of the Town an excellent opportunity to see and know just what we are doing for the education of the youth in this department.


In conclusion, I wish to thank you, the principal, and teachers, for their support and splendid co-operation during the year.


Respectfully submitted,


ARTHUR G. HILBERT.

REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF HOUSEHOLD ARTS IN THE JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL TO THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS


Dear Sir :


"But for life, the universe is nothing; and all that has life requires nourishment."


"If manners make the man, manners are the woman herself."


The aim of the Domestic Science courses at the Jun- ior High School is to develop in the girls worthy and helpful members of the family and the community.


A general knowledge of how to prepare most common foods, classification of values of foods, correct foods to eat and correct table service and etiquette comprise the principal parts of the course of study.


The first and most important problem for the seventh grade girls to master is co-operation. It is the first time in their school career that the girls work together as a whole. Each class is one big family. The Domes- tic Science room is our home, and we aim to keep it clean and make it as attractive as possible.


We have prepared many simple foods that may be served at breakfast and supper, such as cocoa, cereal, applesauce, prunes, eggs, a la Goldenrod, biscuits, muf- fins, cake, creamed vegetables, and simple desserts. We have also studied the classification of foods and what the body requires for nourishment.


In the eighth grade the girls work co-operatively and strive to keep our Domestic Science room clean, and as ยท much like home as possible. We have made a careful


43


study of batters and doughs, making pastry, cake, cook- ies, bread, and desserts. We have also made such things as meat cakes, baked potatoes, salads, and boiled dress- ing. Food preservation, cuts of meats, types of fish, and uses of eggs have also been studied.


The sewing work is planned with the aim of making the girls worthy and helpful members of their families. In the seventh grade the care and use of the sewing ma- chine is taught, and applied to simple undergarments, and later to dresses. Many of the girls finished under- garments and made one or two simple dresses. We had a good representation from the seventh grade in the Fashion Show given as part of the Exhibition of School Work from the Schools in our town.


In the eighth grade the girls learn how to use com- mercial patterns and make dresses, skirts, blouses and coats of difficult construction. We also had a very good representation from the eighth grade in our Fashion Show.


At the Ray School the girls make a start on the Do- mestic Art work, having one period each week for sewing. They learn the fundamental stitches and apply them to cooking uniforms which are worn the following year. The girls also learn the simple stitches of em- broidery, which they apply to felt needle cases or pen wipers made in attractive designs.


In working out our Home Project it would be of great advantage to the girls to have a small dining room as part of our equipment. I suggest as a start that we have four chairs and a table placed at one end of our Domestic Science room.


Respectfully submitted, DORIS M. HATHAWAY.

REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF INDUSTRIAL ART IN THE JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL TO THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS


-


Dear Sir :


The aim of Manual Training in the Junior High School is to give the boy a practical knowledge of woodworking -the use of tools, kinds of wood, and an appreciation of good workmanship. Every boy in the Junior High School is required to spend two periods each week in the Manual Training shop, and one period each week study- ing Mechanical Drawing.


The seventh grade boys are following a course of study which includes the construction of such projects as: bread boards, tie racks, book-ends, foot stools, plant stands, table lamps, magazine racks, and end tables.


The eighth grade boys are pursuing more difficult projects of their own choice, and in most cases, of their own design. These projects include such objects as : book racks, sewing cabinets, magazine baskets, tele- phone tables, costumers, book cases, sleds, and smok- ing stands.


In Mechanical Drawing the seventh grade classes are studying the essentials of drawing. This includes such things as sheet layout, proper use of instruments, pro- portion, and printing. In so far as possible, the pupils are drawing the same things that they are making in Manual Training. The eighth grade classes are de- voting their time to the making of three view working drawings which are to be used in our own Manual Train- ing shop.


As a contribution to our athletic equipment, the boys,


45


this year have made basketball backboards, a tackling dummy, and hockey goals for the athletic field. Our Mechanical Drawing equipment has been greatly im- proved by the addition of twenty new drawing boards made by the boys.


The Manual Training shop in the Junior High School where the pupils carry out the projects mentioned, is very well equipped with necessary machinery and tools. However, the addition of a new power grinder to keep the tools in good condition would aid the boys in their work. Also an increase in the supply of hand tools would be of benefit to all the boys and would thus better enable them to carry out the aims of Manual Training in the Junior High School.
