KILN CONSOLIDATED HIGH SCHOOL—1918-19.
HOME SCIENCE DEPARTMENT
We know that Home Economics is very essential to all schools, and most especially to the rural schools. It is the rural communities that raise the greater portion of the foods which have to be preserved, in order that our nation be fed. In the Home Economic Department the rural girl learns the best methods of preserving and caring for these foods in the home.
It is, also, almost impossible for people in the rural communities to keep icc in the summer; and consequently, it is very hard to keep foods. By the use of the iceless refrigerators, which the girls are taught to make, this inconvcniencc may be partly avoided. The girls are, also, taught to mnkc firclcss coders, fly traps, dish racks, etc., all of which require very little expense and are very valuable to the home.
Just at this particuar time, when the people of the rural districts of cur country were forced to feed almost the entire world, we found the Home Economic Departments exceptionally valuable. It was through these departments, that the use of substitutes was taught, and the girls learned lessons in economy they had never dreamed of.
Since “The home is the center of the universe, and the mistress the center of the home,” in her hands arc the keys of home happiness.. The responsibilities of the nation arc in her charge. Let us, therefore, endeavor to train our girls that they may rightly perform their future d |ty.
