Janice Mortimer traveled through Rome, Geneva, Paris, London and she stayed in the Hague, Netherlands, for five days be fore traveling back to the good ole’ U.S.A. Teachers Become Students In ‘Fact And F'ancy’ Class Home Ec. Students Advise In a first year guidance unit in Home Economics, class ^ members were given the fol-! lowing familiar quotations and' asked to write a letter to a friend convincing her that she should take home economics. “I’m not taking home econo mics because I’m going to col lege.” “I can learn to cook and sew at home.” “There’s no room in my schedule for home economics.” “I’ll learn to keep house when I get married.” The letter follows: Dear Brenda; I was really surprised to hear you say that you are not tak ing Home Economics because you are going to college. I plan to go to college too, but I want you to know why I think it is important to take Home Ec. Even though you are going to college to train for a career, you will probably get married someday. Even if you don’t you’ll have to have a home somewhere, which means you’ll be keeping house. If you have a job it will be twice as hard because you’ll have very little time, so you’ll need to know the simplest way to do things. If you ever have children, I’m sure you’ll want them to be brought up in the best way possible, and we , learn a lot about child care in Home Eco nomics. You’ll also want your family to enjoy their meals, so you’ll need to know how to plan and prepare wholesome, delicious foods for them. Think how much fun it would be lo make preUy, frilly dresses for a little girl, or decorate her room! I think every girl should take Home Economics to be prepar ed for the most challenging ca reer of all — homemaking.
