Then when little bring them before the class, find the answers for herself from her knowledge of reference mat­ erial. 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 sonal and social In the second should develop and a power creative thought the immediate problems at hand. 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.

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 thing that may take ordinary home.

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.
