REPORT OF EXTENSION WORK IN HOME ECONOMICS. 



BY PAULINA E. RAVEN. 



The exteusiou work iu Home Economics for the past year has been 

 carried on by the specialists. The different phases of work which were 

 begun during the first year were continued during the second year. It 

 was gratifying to note the interest taken, results evident, and the recep- 

 tion given when a place was visited for the second time. It is impossible 

 with our present staff to know just the number of people helped and the 

 changes made because of the Extension work in Home Economics. It 

 has not been possible to make many personal visits to farm homes. This 

 form of extension work can best be carried on by a Home Demonstration 

 Agent located in a county. 



Extension Schools: During the season from November 1st to April 

 10th, the specialists were engaged in conducting one-Aveek schools. Thirty 

 extension schools were held in different parts of the State; six of which 

 were second year schools, being held where schools were conducted the 

 previous year. 



Total number enrolled 1561 



Total number of lectures given 137 



Total number of demonstrations given 143 



For a more detailed report of the Extension Schools in Home Eco- 

 nomics, see ''Report of Extension Schools." 



Fairs and Community Exhibits. Food products and canned goods 

 were judged at the following fairs: Michigan State Fair, Imlay City
