Every person and everything
that is worthwhile has a goal—
an objective for which they are
always working. We Home Econ
omists have goals, too, because
in the comparatively short time
we have with the girls, we want
them to get the most and best
we can give them.
First, we want to develop in
our pupils, sound standards of
living as well as give them an
appreciation of the value of per

Thirdly, we want to give
pupils an insight into and appre
ciation of the functions, values,
and ideals of normal family life
in a society which is always
changing. The course should de
velop in them a conception of
homemaking as an undertaking
in which all members of
family co-operate.
Last, and probably the
which the girls themselves
sider the most important is the
giving of a working knowledge
of procedures—an actual oppor
tunity to participate in activities
related to personal problems and
the management of a home.

How does the
course in Home Economics pre
pare a girl’ for homemaking and
marriage?
In the days of our grand
mothers, the teaching of home
making was considered absurd.
After all, every mother trained
her daughter in the culunary
arts, and if a .girl did not have
her hope chest full of her
needlework, it was almost a
grace.
Gradually that trend
changed, and we find it not only
helpful 'but necessary to bring
such a course into our modern
schools—probably more especial
ly to our schools in the larger
towns and cities.
In rural areas,
participate in the
duties at home,
gain valuable experience,
even country girls work in our
urban communities at an early
age and miss the opportunity to
plan meals for a whole week or
month, and lack time to make
the clothes they desire.
However, it is not just "sew
ing” and "cooking” that we are
trying to bring to the students—
although these do form the two
main roots upon which the rest
of the course is based. The
course in "honiemaking”, as, we
now like to refer to it, also” in
cludes studies in nutrition,
health, family relationships, care
of the house, child care, home
nursing, etc., etc.—in fact every

give some of the credit to CALUMET BAKING
POWDER. It plays a very important “role” in baking
and it never, never “lets you down”. For the double
action of Calumet, first in the mixing bowl and
then in the oven, assures you light, evenly textured
biscuits ... tender and fluffy cakes that are perfectly
leavened ... always. The two separate t actions, that
neither stirring nor interruptions can disturb, are the
best guarantee I know of, for wonderful baking
results. _______
Boatloads Of Tea from England were dumped in Boston harbour
during the famous “Boston Tea Party” of 1773. The
passing of the Stamp Act by the. British Parliament
had placed a tax on many articles the American
colonists needed—including tea. Refusing to drink
taxed tea became the patriotic thing to do. That
meant a real sacrifice for tea was just as popular then
as it is now. The favourite of folks who want the-
best in tea nowadays — is RED ROSE TEA. Just
try it today for your afternoon tea and at supper
time ! You’ll know it’s a quality tea from that very first, flavourful sip I
And, because it’s good tea, Red Rose gives more cups per pound! And
