"One of the oldest stories about
how the Conchs got their mama
says that it was given to them
when they stoutly told the Brit
ish authorities that they would
''eat conchs" before paying the
taxes which the Crown had lew
led against them. AS the move
ment for independence of the
British West Indies gained mo-
mentunn, many revolutionaries
and religious zealots sought re-
fuge in Abaco, contributing fur
Their to. the laizzez-faire propen-
stiles of the coloaists. During the
American revolution, Abaco and
other Bahaman isles receifed a
large influx of Tories from the
rebelling colonies. In 1883 the
British coInniissary.general at
New York reported that 1near a
thousand souls We're ready to
embark or AbacO, and other refu-
gees left at the same time for

eight companies of British milf
tia were evacuated from New
Bahamas. And no less than 1900
British Loyalists left St Angus

The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1946-05-02

In the current issue of Forecast,
prominent home economics maya
zine, there appears the article, "Home
Economics Has a House of its Own"
in which was given a detailed descrip-
ton of the home economies depart
ment of Oakland High School. The
location of Oakland High and a gen.
eral description of the community
were given in the part of the ar
ticle.
The article pointed out that the de-
partment had developed into on of
the finest type with the students hav-
ing model house of their own in
which to learn the principles of the
subject.
The article was used by permission
in The Acorn, Oakland High School
publication and follows in part:
Appears As Residence
To the casual onlooker the building
appears to be an attractive residence
rather than school. The entire at
mosphere of the building convinces
one that it is an ideal home for girls
entering into a study of homemaking.
All phases of homemaking are
taught in this house, and the girls
learn to do by doing. Each shares a
responsibility in the running of the
house, and each must learn to realize
the Importance of her own task. This
feeling of cooperation and good
craftsmanship plays an important
part in the home economics course.
Under Self direction
Groups of girls under direction
may be working in the yard, laundry,
kitchen, bedroom, living room, or sew
ing room all at the same time. The
atmosphere of the home is not unlike
Il three-ring circus. No one group is
entirely responsible for the same ac-
tivity all the time. One section may be
engaged in multiple activities in it's
two-hour period Of instruction.
In the kitchen, which is necessarily
larger than the usual to accommodate
the students, groups are divided into
work units; emphasis is placed on
meal planning and preparation with
large amounts of practice being given
in both. 1t is felt that students learn
much in the actual use of the equip
ment because it is like that which
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1946-05-02

they will later employ in homes of
their own.
Modern Equipment
With a modern electric washing
machine and stoker furnace, the base
ment serves to instruct in the house
fold phases of cleaning and heating.
Including the washing machine, there
is complete laundry unit in this part
Of the house.
The whole homemaking program
for the four years of vocational work
offers wide variety of units of study,
acquanting many of the girls with
hitherto unfamiliar equipment. Here,
foundations are laid for such things
as interior decorating, life in the
home, care of children and invalids.
budgeting, home management, home
nursing, the Importance of grooming,
and wardrobe planning
Plan Meals
Special emphasis is placed on the
ability to plan and serve a nutritious
and tasty meal as we'll as the repair
and creation of all types of clothing.
The reason for the special attention
IN these things is that so many of the
girls marry and have their own homes
soon after graduation or that they
earn their living through some type
of domestic work.
Unlike other courses, the home eco
Monies curriculum in Oakland High
does not end with the last day of
school in June. During one summer
month the home &c. teachers visit the
houses of students and prospective
pupils to advise them on summer pro-
jects and thereby strengthen the re-
lation between home, girl, and school.
These visitations give the teacher
tirst-hand information on the home
conditions of the girls which later
serves as guides in organizing the
school program.
Students shown in the picture, left
to right, are Wanda Dewitt, Dorothy
Gilbert, Freda Swiger and La Verna
Calhoun.
At present there are ITO students
enrolled in home economics classes
which are being taught by Mrs.
Adrienne Carter and Miss Helen
Powell.
