course beyond the standard of the hrst year high school work in keeping with the students capacity.
 In the years past during the summer term the teachers and equipment of the home economies department have been devoted to assisting such people as may have come to the classes for a more or less uncertain period. These. people in most cases were more intent on getting special training on some particular sub ject such as canning. hat trimming, etc.. than in getting broad knowledge of home king, as an education subject. While 1t is generally believed that this has been of considerable, benefit to the community as a means of disseminating modern knowledge and improved methods | In the various phases of the work, yet this does not correspond to the best ideals of an educational program 1t be- | ing generally conceded that in our public | education the greatest endeavors should be in the direction of developing funds | of useful knowledge in the rising genera l ton.
 l With this end in view 1t Is desired to
 enlist the interest of the high school i girls in the Summer Extension Home 1 Making course. Although this work Is
 required for the first year in the High
 school course still the amount of train ing that can be received in this period
 must necessarily be inadequate when one considers the broadness of the subject. Considerable time and application Is re- uuired to permit the full expression of the students talens in the higher phases and deveorments of the work.
 The course will be under the direction of Miss Hannah Pease and Miss Eliza be.h Jackson who are at present arrang ing the proper balance for course of IA T
 vote considerable time to such phases as home decoration and design. proper
 blending of cslors, study of proportion. SC
 lection of materials for various uses, best
 croice and preparation of foods together
 with proper placing and serving tht
 same Both Miss Pease and Miss Jack
 son feel that this will be an extremely
 interesting work when all preparations
 are completed and they are ready present it in June. Applications for en rollment in this course must be present as possible and in any event not late than June 1st.
