A girl's problems in home economics;: Healthful clothing, dress design, clothing construction, interior decoration, household textiles, care of the home, (Lippincott's home economics texts)

The material can be covered in two or three years work, depending on the age of the student and the amount of time devoted to home economics. The authors have endeavored to select subject matter based on the particular interests of girls of this age and centered around their individual home activities. For this reason, in the units of work which deal with the house, the girls own room, its care, arrangement and furnishing, have been chosen as suitable units of work. Likewise, the units of work in clothing construction, dress design and textiles deal with problems closely related to the girls special interests and abilities. The chapters dealing with the house and with clothing are arranged in two separate sections. In each section the material has been put into sequential order of increasing difficulty. It is evident, therefore, that the beginning chapters in each section are intended for the beginning classes and the latter chapters for the more advanced classes. For example, where three years of work are given, Chapters 2and 3on clothing and Chapter 10 on the house are suited for use in the first year. Chapters 4and 5on clothing and Chapters 11, 12 and 13 on the house are suited for use in the second year and Chapters 6, 7, 8and 9on clothing and Chapters 14 and 15 on the house for use in the third year.
