Ill PREFACE IT has been our purpose to make the work in Household Arts pleasant and profitable for the girl while in school as well as when she leaves school. If this plan is carried out, she will be able to take with her into the home the results of her experience. It is possible to make the work so vital and so closely connected with the work of the home that the girl will not count the time spent in school as lost. Instead she will con- sider her school work to be a part of a well, organized whole. During the first year's work in food and cookery, the plan "is to give a training in manipulation and a good working knowl- edge of the composition of food and the principles of cookery. The sequence of lessons has been based on food principles. At first sight this may seem merely the conventional course of les- sons in cookery. However, it has been planned to make the topics taken up in the course at school fit into the home interests in a natural, helpful, logical way. This book contains about one hundred twenty tested recipes besides many suggestions for varying these. The directions for working have been so simplified that even the very young be- ginner will have no difficulty in following them. Interesting and valuable facts concerning the history, man- ufacture, and commercial value of each of the principal food products have been briefly told. Each exercise contains some suggestions and instructions in housewifery or household man- agement. MARTHA L. METCALF. January, 191o. SUGGESTIONS TO TEACilEKS Tlie exercises in this book may be foilowed in the order in vviiich they are given or they may be rearranged to suit the need of each particular class. If the lesson on Eggs should come at a time when eggs are particularly high in your locality, it would be better to postpone those lessons until prices were lower. The lessons on the Care of the Dining Room and on Table Setting and Serving may be given at any time. The Cranberry exercise is intended for a Thanksgiving lesson and the work on Candy should precede the Christmas holidays. An opportunity is given at the close of each exercise in this course for the girl to state in brief form the results of her work. This feature should be carefully done because it will serve as an index to the amount of thinking the student is doing while she works. At the close of each exercise a number of questions and suggestions are given. These are intended to stimulate the student to put intelligence back of the doing. Several recita- tions in which these questions form the basis for discussions may follow each exercise. Definite credit should be given for all work in Household Arts done at home. VI BIBLIOGRAPHY. The following references furnished by us at list prices will be found useful both to teachers and students: — "Shelter and Clothing," Kinne and Cooley. ($1.10) "Foods and Household Management," Kinne and Cooley.
