teachers.
Summer schools are coming to play
an especially important part In home
economies teaching. The Bureau of
Education received announcements
from I9s schools that were offering
courses during the summer of 1914;
in 1915 the number reporting had In
creased to 2ao, and a still further
increase is already assured for 1915.
Twenty-three States report an out
line OF lessons In home economies for
Statewide use. A State manual OF
study for the public elementary schools
of Alabama contains an outline for
lessons in cooking and ideas for the
teachers OF sewing In the grades In
California each county or city board
of education prescribes its own course
of study in home economics An out
line for a course of lessons in home
economies has been prepared for the
common schools of Illinois. This Is
made use of particularly in the rural
schools. The home economics sec
ton of the high school conference of
Illinois has recently completed a COM
prehensive outline for lessons in the
fifth. sixth, seventh and eighth grades,
thus taking an important step in help
ing to unity the courses offered In
home economics below the high
school.

using white blouses only with white

grays and tans. which are little darker

with the dark suit a blouse of color,
such as deep blue, green or coral. IL
is the difference between the light tint

such as checks, stripes, dots and flow

used In mixing the motives Thus a
blouse OF one color in a plain material
is the only enc to use with a figured

checks and plaids are on the square

Home economics departments In
schools and colleges are not all SO
fortunate as to have residences IN
which TO instruct in home manage

been some hesitancy among school Of
ficers because of the initial expense
of a practice house. But as ii is req
ognized that these houses are quits
as necessary as are good laboratories,
and that the maintenance costs are
not excessive, more departments are
being thus supplied. These houses
