To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A course in the purchase of ready cooked foods and in the relation of food to health and working efficiency could easily be arranged, since the employed girl is so often handicapped in her working career by difficulties preventable or curable by proper diet. A two-hour course on the management of the income and on laws affecting the employed woman would prove both valuable and inter- esting. It was shown that 600 girls in the commercial course in one business high school having 1, 000 pupils el...ected such courses in home eco- nomics. These conditions seem essential before elective courses will prove popular in senior high schools. The courses must be such as to inter- est the type of girl attending the school and meet a conscious need. The courses must be well taught by the teachers of understanding minds. The principal of the school must be one who appreciates the value of home-economics education. RELATION OF THE HOME ECONOMICS DEPARTMENT TO THE GENERAL HEALTH PROGRAM OF THE SCHOOL. These statements were agreed upon: That every home-economics woman should stand ready to lend her aid in insuring to all children a knowledge of what constitutes right health habits; that usually there is no other member of the school-teaching staff so well pre- pared to give information relating to nutrition as is the home- economics teacher ; that her knowledge relating to child health is not complete, but that she can easily acquire the additional knowledge, since usually she has had college courses in chemistry, general biology, physiology, bacteriology, home nursing, and in foods and nutrition ; that the discovery of sickness is the province of the doctor; that the home follow-up work in cases of disease is the province of the nurse, but that questions of diet should fall within the jurisdiction of the home-economics teacher and that she should shoulder her burden even if it for a period amounts to an excessive draft upon her time; that because her classes are largely with girls in certain grades, she should cooperate with other teachers in making her knowledge of foods available to all.
