Book Description
Excerpt from The Mode in Dress and Home The Mode in Dress and Home is a textbook for secondary schools. The author's experience of many years in classroom work in junior and senior high schools has given unusual opportunities to study pupils' problems and to sympathize with their endeavors. No effort has been spared to make the book interesting, practical, instructive, and so flexible that it can be used in any clothing or home-making class and in integration with any other subject. The book is planned to meet the changing conditions of today and to prepare pupils to live more effectively. Special attention is devoted to wise purchasing, on which in no small measure the successful functioning of the home depends. To help the pupil realize the ideal of every course in home economics, - the ideal of working and living happily with others at school, at home, and in the social world, - a purposeful, well-planned, continuous program has been maintained throughout the text. Organized on the unit basis, the book possesses flexibility, and units need not necessarily be taken up in the exact order of the text. Teaching and study aids in the form of questions, problems, projects, and references are provided for use at school and at home. As a further guide to pupils a workbook has been prepared to accompany the textbook, while the teachers' manual gives helpful suggestions on the use of both text and workbook. The illustrations are a special feature of both books. The Mode in Dress and Home aims - 1. To help pupils to develop physically, mentally, esthetically, and socially.
