HOME ECONOMICS FOR SOUTHERN SCHOOLS. {i 
i 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 24 
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, lke 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.
