made recently in this column
about . the home economics
course I had taken when 1, was in

the home economics course was,

educational program for young

The booklet that Jim handed
me was put out by Ginn and

firm, and it dealt entirely with
"a broad spectrum of home
economics materials that are
intended to help students of all
social, economic and ethnic
backgrounds develop the broad
understandings, perceptions and
