HOME ECONOMICS FOR SOUTHERN" SCHOOLS. 21 



Short-process bread is usually lacking in. flavor and a little cinnamon 

 and sugar will conceal the absence. 



Reference. — Any good book on food preparation. 



Correlation. — English. : Write a description of how each of the above 

 products should be made. 



LESSON 38. 



Problem. — Study of yeasts and conditions under which they live 

 best. Study the forms in which they may be obtained. Start sponge 

 from yeast foam. 



Reference. — U. S. Dept. Agr., Farmers' Bui. 807. 



Correlation. — English: Write a story of a cake of yeasto 



LESSON 39. 



Problem. — To make bread, using sponge from the dried yeast, the 

 so-called yeast foam. Use bread mixer. 



Points to be brought out — In the dried yeast cake the yeast is in a 

 dormant state. It must have time to get started, therefore we soften 

 the cake with luke-warm water and let it grow in the sponge. Dried 

 yeast is used almost exclusively in the country because it does not 

 deteriorate rapidly. The bread should be formed into loaves which 

 are not too large to permit of proper baking. 



Reference. — Textbook on food. 



Note. — Do not let the students get the idea that compressed yeast can not be 

 used in making long-process bread. 



Correlation. — English: Describe the different kinds of yeast avail- 

 able, with prices. 



LESSON 40. 



Problem. — To score bread and review all the steps involved in its 

 making. 



Points to be brought out. — If good bakery bread may be obtained it 

 is sometimes uneconomical to make bread at home. The cost of fuel 

 and the value of the worker's time must be taken into consideration. 



Reference. — Any good book on food preparation. 



Correlation. — Arithmetic: Compare the cost of homemade and 

 baker's bread. 



LESSON 41. 



Problem. — To inspect kitchen linen and make additional towels, if 

 any are necessary. 



Points to be brought out. — There should be an adequate supply of 

 dish towels and cloths. Both should be neatly hemmed. The best 

 materials are those which absorb water easily and leave no lint. 



Correlation. — Arithmetic : Determine the amount of kitchen linen 

 necessary for a family of six and estimate the cost.
