HOME ECONOMICS FOR SOUTHERN SCHOOLS. 7 



in each direction as there are courses for the given year. In each 

 square there is a hook upon which a library card can be hung. In 

 the top square of her column the teacher places on a yellow card 

 her monthly outline, and each week a pink card containing a more 

 detailed outline of that week's work. When a teacher wishes 

 correlative work from another department she writes her request 

 on a white card which she hangs in her column, and in the square 

 corresponding to the department from which the work is desired.

The above chart is supposed to be divided into squares. 



In this way we may find across the top of such a board an outline 

 of the work in each subject, while the up-and-down columns show at a 

 glance what the various departments are expecting of each other 

 during the current week. When the work is planned sufficiently in 

 advance there is no difficulty in preventing conflicts. 



LABORATORY EQUIPMENT. 



Food work. — Individual equipment of table, stove, and utensils is 

 desirable. However, when expenses must be kept down, a mini- 

 mum equipment may be secured for $50, consisting of 12 individual 

 sets of utensils, each costing about $2, and general equipment costing 

 $25, including one three-burner oil stove and a supply table; for 

 cooking tables whatever is available must be utilized. 



Special cooking tables allowing working space of about 3 by 2\ 

 feet can be built in or purchased ready-made. They should provide 

 storage room for utensils and food supplies underneath. Individual 

 gas plates or stoves are desirable. If there is no gas, individual oil 

 stoves are preferable, since gas-manufacturing plants, like acetylene^ 

 are not common in the home. 



Cupboards, a fireless cooker, a refrigerator, and a wheeled supply 

 table with shelves below for food materials are desirable. If possible, 

 a dining room, or at least space for a dining table, should be arranged 

 to afford practice in table service. The cost of china, silver, glass, 

 and linen may be estimated at $62. Schools planning cooking 

 equipment should send for catalogue to any large wholesale hardware 

 company.
