AN IDEAL FARM HOME DEMONSTRATION SCHOOL 



When all the people of a community gather together for instruction, 

 exchange of ideas, and social enjoyment, a perfect farm home demon- 

 stration school is practically insured. A close approach to the ideal was 

 the school held at Jacksonville in August, 1915. It was carried on largely 

 by the members of a summer-school class in extension in home economics. 

 Jacksonville, wliich is only about fourteen miles from the College, was 

 selected because of its accessibility. The people of the community 

 cooperated admirably, offering the grange hall, the church, and the school 

 biiilding for the meetings. The entire commimity within a radius of 

 several miles was represented in the enrollment for the six days. 



The program included a five-session sewing school, a five-session cooldng 

 school, a five-session school in junior cookery, and a singing school each 

 evening, with considerable additional work in music during the day. The 

 program was as follows:
