SEWING AND COOKING
Among Practical Branches Being } Taught at Storrs Summer School.

J The first section of students taking the course in sewing at the simmer school which is being held at Storrs completed their work Saturday after noon. This course has been in charge of Miss Ethel T. Cousley Of the Storrs faculty. Miss Cousley has made this course very popular and a second eec- ton of students will take the same course during the present week. The primary aim of the course IS to show the practicability of introducing simple work in sewing in the rural schools of the state. Miss Cousley has demonstrated methods of teaching sew ing and she has given the students ac. tt1al practice In making a few of the articles which may be made by pupils in the grammar schools. The articles made will be placed on exhibition at the college next Saturday, July 1T.
 Among other things which have been discussed during the conferences is the cost of equipment for sewing classes in rural schools. It is possible for any school board to provide the necessary equipment for 12 pupils at a cost Of only $5. This equipment will consist of paper of needles for each pupil, three spools of thread, thimble, a good pair of scissors, @ tape line, pins and a pin cushion, ati emery, and a suitable work box. The cloth used in sewing may be furnished by the tndi- vidua1 pupil or by the school board.
 In the work of the summer school the rudiments of sewing are taught. There Is a new problem each day. At the end of the week each student is expected to hand in some article on which she will have applied the stitch- es learned.
 Miss Cousley and the students have talked over suitable projects for the elementary grades.
 Another topic discussed by the class is the care of clothing and the removal of stains, work closely connected with textiles.
 A second line of household work which is attracting a good deal of at- tention at the summer school is the cooking department. Miss M. E. Hayes is the instuctor of the cooking classes. This course will be continued during the present week. The dishes which the young ladies cook during the course are things which can be made in the ordinary rural school and used for school lunches. The equipment necessary for tse work in a rural school may be purchased at a small cost Miss Hayes showed the students how to make a f1reless cooked by using an ordinary wooden box, some excelsior, a

Hiatorv coorse.

In the history course, which is in charge of H. O. Clough, state inspector of schools. the teachers are brought face to face with important pedagog- ical principles many of which may be applied to any subject in the school curriculum.
 The first topic which MT. CIough con- sidered Monday was that of teachers preparation for class work. He empha- sized the following points: A broad knowledge of the subject matter and related facts. Clear aims. The use of blackboards and charts. The use of pictures and maps. Definite prepara- tion of each lesson by means of out lines and questions. References to supplementary reading related to the subject.
 The speaker then outlined the art of questioning. He said that a teacher in framing questions for class exercises should consider the following eight Some questions should be prepared be- fore the class is called. Before desig- hating the pupil who is to recite. the question should be put to the entire class. The teacher should avoid 1ead- ing questions. There should be only one interpretation, that IS the purpose of the question should be clear. Ques- tions which require for an answer sim ply yes or no should be avoided. The questions should be given by the teach CT loud enough to be heard by the en- tire class, and there should be no ne cessity of repeating questions. The pupils should not be asked to recfte in a regular order.
 The third point of Mondays lecture was the outline of the recitation. MT. C1ough said that the questions should be pointed, they should apply to the main points of the lesson and should bring out additional information Dur ing the recitation there should be some test questions on review topics and drill questions on the lesson for the day." said Mfr. C1ough. He also advo- cated the plan of. closing the recitation with comprehensive summary. He said that before the class Is dismissed the advance work should be presented and the supplementary reading should be assigned. Further points about the recitation were illustrated by reference to type lesson presented by MT. Ciough.
 Mir. Clough is now ready to take up the state outline in history.
