Home Economics Work JW ”mm“ ”
Vital For Girls Past 14
Chief of Federal Bureau at Washington Also Dismisses
Need of Outside Courses for Older Women
One of the most important delds
(or training in home economics lies
‘ among school girls more than 14
years of age. according to Miss Ade-
laide a Baylor. chief of the home
boonomlcs education service of the
Moral board for vocational edu-
cation.
“lines the majority of girls in the
public schools over it years of age
are found in the high schools." said
Him Baylor in a written statement
made public on September 1. “it
has been pretty generally conclud-
ed that here is where vocational
education for full-time pupils is
needed. and with few exceptions
these all-day departments have
been organized in the secondary
schools and are accessible to high
school girls only.
“A few clames. among special
groups. such as Spanish-Americans,
Negroes. and others have been or-
I‘enlsed below high school. and
even out of the high school. who
'could be brought in for full time on
vocational program and profit in
large measure by it."
Dlfloulties Discussed.
Many problems. according to lidlss
Baylor. have arisen in the field of
home economics education since
1’17 when the Act of Congress de-
clared home economics education to
be of vocational rank. Some of
these perplexities. she stated. are
sitll without solution.
homemaklng instruction to
vallable when needed and where
needed." said Miss Baylor. “classes
must be organised and maintained
not only for the girl inside the full
‘tlme public school but also for the
one outside. who. is employed at
home in wage-earning pursuits.
They must also be organized for
homemakers themselves who desire
to improve their present homemak-
lng abilities.
“These girls and women may
come from any walk of life. be of
any race of nationality. and have
had. or are having experience in
earning or non~wage-earning pur-
suits. In making the program con-
!oi'm to this principle. the all day
school 'or department for home-
“flaking has been organized to meet
the needs of girls outside of full-
tlme school: and the evening school
_has been organized to meet the
' eeds of adults.
: All Day Schools Cmsidered.
"The ail-day school is more near-
ly an integral part of what we call
-' the public school system and more
easily adopted to the well-establish-
ed administrative public school po-
licies. For this reason it was the
first type to betcstablished under
the Federal Act ‘as it seemed less
likely to slip a cog in the smooth
running machinery of the system.
In the orgqilutlon and minion-
an‘ce of the day school in accord-
ance with this principle. three
uneatibns arose:
“1. Who are the girls in full-time
school who can profit by vocation-
al education in home economics?
“3. What amount of time shall be
given to the work?
“8. What shall be the type 'of in-
situation?
"The Federal Act administrative-
ly answered these questions as fol-
lows: ‘
”1. The work shall be for girls
over it years of age.
“l.-0ne-half the school time shall
be devoted to' the work.
"8. The instruction shall be that
or practical work on a useful or
i
. pmduot'lltbasis."
- was Baylorl has listed 10 problems
which she believes are outstanding
among those yet unsolved since the
application of the fundamental prin-
ciples of vocational education to the
field of home economics. These 10
problems are stated as follows:
1. On what balls shall girls over
it years of age in full time school
be admitted to vocational classes in
home economics?
2. How shall we interpret relat-
ed subjects as part of the vocational
half-day? Under what organisation
and by what methods shall they be
taught to have vocational signifi-
cance in home-making?
8. How can it be shown that the
supervision of the home project is
sufficiently important in a vocation-
al program in home economics to
warrant providing a staff and sched-
ule for this purpose?
4. How can it be shown that
follow-up work is so essential to the
success of a part-time program in
home-making that at least a mini-
mum amount of time will be pro-
vided for it. the extent of such min-
imum amount of time to be de-
cided in the study?
6. What are the best methods
for organizing and maintaining vol-
untary part~time homamaklng class-
es for girls either in States where
compulsory part-time laws do not
operate. or in states where they
do operate but where girls can with
great profit continue in part-time
classes after the compulsory age
limit is reached?
6. Do the home permit and the
wage earning girl enter on e. vocation
of home-making earlier than the
girl who remains in full-time school?
Results Are Rendered.
7. What is the value to the in-
dividual and to society of the various
forms of vocational education in
home economics as now given in
the public schools? By what stan-
dards shall we measure \ocational
education in home economics for the
girl in the full- t-irne school. the
part-time school. and adult women
in the evening school?
8. To determine content of in.
struction in vocational education in
home economics. how shall the co.
operation of homemakers be secured
in the analysis of the vocation of
homemaking and in the identifying
of functional-skill. knowledge. and
appreciations common to many
homemaking activities?
9. How shall the occupationally
competent woman in homemaklng be
selected and trained to teach voca-
tional classes in home economics?
to. What is the most efficient
type of plant and equipment for vo-
cational education in home econom-
ics to facilitate personal relations of
the working group, production cp-
erations and processes and a produc.
tive characteristic of the vacation—
homemnking?
"In the solution of these prob-
lems." said Miss Baylor: “whatever
is done in higher institutions of
learnings cannot take on the garb of
finality that characterizes most of
the these for degrees. It must be
constructive. and basic for further
study."
Accessibility Important
For that reason it must be acces~
sible to whoseeve’r takes up the next
step or supplements that with field
ork and experimentation outside
he institution. Whatever is done
these studies should not be lost in
the archives of the institution or
elsewhere. When the matter of lesi-
dcnce and the acquisition of static.
tical data in the solution of educa.
tional problems seems to count for
more than work in the field and ex.

at this formative stage in vocational

research in institutions.

St. Paul’s Church Soon
The Norwalk Green will boast of
another beautiful church within a
year. which will replace quaint old
It. Paul‘s. which has stood at the
head of the Green for many years.
After several years of preparation
the plans for the church have been
about completed by Rev. Louis B.
Howell and the veatrymen.
As a conference between the vas-
try and representatives of the P. L.
Fowler company of Paterson. N. J..
the architectural firm. at the church
Wednesday evening. dednite steps
were taken. which will see the new
Waterbury’s
church started within a year.
The rector said this morning that
I very impoth and interesting an-
nouncement would be made by the
vestry. concerning the new edifice.
in the near future.
The plans for the church as pub-
lished a year ago have been revised
considerably. and the new plans
were presented to the veatry last
evening.
The church as planned will be of
granite in English Gothic design.
No deflhlte figure has been given as
to the cost of the new church. but It
will probably be about ”00.000.
.Big Water
Works Job Almost Done
Waterbury's greatest public pro-
ject. the Bhepaug tunnel. will be
completed except for a few finishing
touches within two weeks.
It had not been expected that the
tunnelling would be completed until
next spring.
Unprecedented speed in drillills
and blasting during the past few
months is responsible for the whirl-
wind tinish. The last blasts to com-
plete a tunnel ‘l 1-: miles long from
the lhspaug to the Naugstitok river
valleys will be tired sometime within
the next two weeks. All that will
then remain will be to build a con-
crete conduit between two tunnel
openings at Bantam river. pacing
under the river and counting
about one-third of the interior of
the tunnel.
The tunnel was started in the late
fall of 1931 and at the time it was
expected that it would be nearly to
years before the project would be
completed. For the first year. the
work was carried on an experiment-
al basis and was necessarily slow.
During this period it was expected
that after sufficient data had been
obtained by the experiment a con-
tract would bc let for the comple-
ticn of the tunnel. By the end of a
year. however. City Engineer R. A.
Cairns became convinced that the
city itself. would be able to carry
the project through’ to completion.
at a much less cost than by letting
it out by contract. Through the ad-
ditional water supply. committee he
was practically given carts blanchc
, . . vt‘
to go ahead with it. Since then. he
carried on the project. practically
single-handed.‘eubject only do the
approval of‘ the additional water
supply conimittee and the board of
aldermen. After the first year's ex-
perimental period, the work pro-
gremed by leaps and bounds, the
rate of excavation increasing almost
as rapidly as did the excavation it-
self. Neariy each month saw a
greater length of tunnel excavated
than the previous month.

On Steel Frames In Europe
Considerable interest is being so-
corded the reports of a partly pat-
ented style of house construction
which results in a cylindrical dwell-
ing with asbestos cement walls on a
skeleton of steel weighing about five
tons, according to a report from
Vice Consul Andrew Gilchrist at
Leipzig, made public by the Do-
pnrtment of Conunvrcc.
The houses are of two floors and
little and contain six rooms exclus-
ivo of the attic. After the foundation
hus been completed the steel frame
can be erected within four days by a
low workmen and the dwelling rap-
idly completed. All parts of these
houses are interchangeable and it is
planned to build them in series at
the factory to be delivered ready for
assembling.
Sir-um lu-nt for the entire house
is furnished by a boiler combined
with the kitchen range. The builders
estimntc the price of this house at
present between 20,000 and 25.000
marks ($4,761 and 86,978). but
they believe that this sum will be
less if the houses prove popular
and they cnn furnish them along
