Csatefully, yours, -WILLIE- FRYAR AND FAMILY. (Willie Fryar has been a helpless invalid for more than five years.) What knowledge is of most worth? !;i the question that has been of prime importance in the educational world in recent years. As one answer to thi3 question, .a Home Economics Course, covering from two to four years or perhaps more, has been put in ' great number of our schools. Doubtless yoU have often wondered just what the course is and of what valuo it is. Thocourse in the Tarboro school this year is given in every grade in the high school. It takes up as many problems of the homo as can be prac tically dealt with at school. In the eighth and ninth grades the elemen tary processes of cooking ftnd sewing are taught. In connection with the study of cooking, tho cost of foods,, their function in the body and tho ca,rc of them in the home are consid ered. Methods of cooking are taught. With a special emphasis on those me thods that make the food most easily digestible, and retajn tho most food value. The formation of ideals and habits of cleanliness, orderliness and neatness are regarded as of prime importance. ' The courho in sewing includes a study of our four most commonly used textiles, cotton, flax, silk, and wool. Tho uses of tho different fab rics and their comparative costs are taken up. The hygienic side of cloth ing is also included. The children learn the simple stitches in sewing by making articles which will be of use to them. ' In the tenth and eleventh grades, the course in cooking takes up the preparation of more difficult dishes; the, study of that ever-important and ever-amazing question, "What shall wo have for dinner?" And a course in the planning and serving of meals. These meals are worked out on the scientific basis of including enough body building, heat and energy giv ing, and regulating foods to keep the human body at its best Foods for the sick are prepared and the import ance of serving meals as attractively as possible Is stressed. At present, the eleventh grade class Is getting much practical work by planning and serving luncheon during the noon hour on Thursdays. These luncheons are served at a reasonable price to any school children or teachers who want to get them In the domestic sci ence room. " . The course In sewing, includes a Washington, .Dec. 21.

The girls are mak ing garments that are of practical use to them. The study and use of the commercial pattern is taught and many of the girls are now wearing the first dresses they have ever m&de. The equipment for the Home Eco nomics work includes two-oil stoves, twenty desks, each havnlg utensils for individual work, and a great many larger cooking, utensils to be used by tho class as a whole, together with' some dishes. - i - For sewing, we have three Singer sewing machines and one electric ma chine. Eacn girl brings her own in dividual equipment It is hdped that the girls who are taking this course will be encouraged at home to put into practice the things that they learn at schooL It takes a 'great deal of practice to "make perfect," and the course la re garded as most effective only when the students come back and say that they have prepared a meal at home, . or helped make their clothes. In connection with the Home Eco nomics department, the school will hereafter run a Home Department for the benefit of the housekeepers of the town; If for any reason you feel that any member of your family la not gaining in weight, or has indi gestion, If you would like to know what a well balanced meal is. or how to cook a food to make it most easily digested, tell some of the high school girls, and your problem will be work ed out bythe cooking class. .11 V 1 i i
