PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE

mics is shown by this list:
Dresses made for self or member OF
their family ---------------12O
Renovated garments ------------4O
Garments for the Delaware Col
ony --------------- 81
SmOcks and aprons ------------ 81
Canned approximately 200 quarts
of fruits and vegetables.
Made 100 pints jams and jellies
Prepared and served two dinners to
the Rotary club.
We ask that you do not feel that |
the things which are enumerated as |
having been completed in this de-
partment are the most valuable. |
Certainly as home economists We
have great hope of inspiring these |
future home makers. to make the |
kind of a home which the boy when
asked what a home was. answered:
"A place my father is proud to earn
money for a place my mother is
glad to keep for us, and place I'm
mighty glad to bring my friends to-"
1t is this kind of training which the
teacher is never able to measure
accurately.
We. the teachers, feel that the
Board of Education of Milford Spe-
cial District. has been very gener-
GUS to our department, and have ev-
cry reason to expect of the future
homes of this community higher
standards of living and happier
homes, which these girls. with their
several hundreds of hours of train
ing should be able to make possible.
We believe that they will.
We thank you for your fine coop
Grafton and help in making our de-
partment an adequate one: and we
believe that we can still point with
some pride to the fact. that it is the
largest Home Economic Department
in the State of Delaware outside of
Wilmington.
Respectfully submitted.
