10 THREE SHORT COURSES IN HOME MAKING.
If a cupboard and table have been arranged for the use of cookery
classes, most of the suggested work can be carried out with the school
equipment. Where equipment is not at hand in the school, and
school conditions do not approximate home conditions, it may be
possible to secure permission to give the lesson in a near-by home of
one of the girls after school hours.
In each lesson the teacher should strive to impress the girls with
the importance of doing some one simple thing well, giving them help-
ful information in regard to the subject that will be of value to them
in their own homes.
The rural teacher who is eager to make her schoolroom an attrac-
tive place can devote some time in these lessons to such problems as
the hanging and care of simple curtains; the care of indoor plants;
the arrangement of pictures; the planning of storage arrangements
for supplies and of cupboards for dishes; and the preparations for the
serving of the school lunch.
It will be desirable for the rural teacher to have the following sim-
ple equipment on hand in order to teach these lessons effectively.
Additional special equipment can be borrowed from the homes.
