THE WEST GEORGIAN Home Economics Of Great Value The subject of study for the past two weeks in Home Economics 1, has been “Home Economics — Trained Women in Business.” Each member of the class gave an oral report on different phases of the subject. The largest field open to Horae- Economic-Trained women is that of homemaking. Until recent years, no one thought of training women for participation in this field. It was thought that homemakers were born -and not made —they were either good, bad, or indiffer ent, and there was no changing the fact. Now, we know that educa tion along the right lines can help most girls and women to raise their standards of lviing. Since women are said to spend about eighty-seven per cent of a nation’s 1 wealth, they should be taught to spend it wisely. And, since time and energy are money, they should know how to spend and use them wisely, also. There are two ways by which these things may be learned —first, by experience—'but experience is of too long and expensive and some people never profit by it; and se cond, by education, which, although sometimes rather expensive, pays larger dividends in the end. It is said that in order to write for publication one must know one’s subject and know how to tell it. So a woman who is trained in home-making is better fitted for a position in the homemaker’s column of a newspaper than one who has no training at all. Thus, many women fiind the field of journalism open to them. Then, there are openings in so cial service, in hospitals and schools as dietitians, in business corporations having radio home making programs, and teaching. With the subject of positions comles the question of material re compense. The salaries of trained home-economists in business range from one hundred dollars a month to twelve thousand a year. From that standpoint alone, we can see why the education of women In Home Economics is paying such dividends. The future of the nation is ito be determined by the type of citizens its homes produce. Will they be good or bad? The answer depends largely on the women of the land and the training they get in college. Miss Willie Vie Dowdy, Home Improvement Specialist for the Ex. tension Division of the College of Agriculture spoke to the Home Eco nomics Class Nov. 7, on “How to Improve Your Home.” Miss Dowdy’s work is to encour age girls to make home a better place in which to live. She told us that we may do this by refininshing and repainting old furniture, se lecting and hanging pictures, fin ishing floors by making them smooth and beautiful to look at, and making the outside of the home as attractive as possible by planting shrubbery and flowers. She said that it was just as necessary to feed the mind as to feed theh body, and that three fourths of all diseases are of the mind instead of the body. Miss Dowdy is also trying to teach women to be better manag ers in the home by making plans to keep every member in the fam ily busy. Women who are good managers render greater services by making the other members of the family do the work. This gives the home-maker time for social services and outside activities. Home management and engineer ing are just as important as love in making a home. In improving ones home, one must first decided what needs im provement. If your home is just a hut, make it beautiful.
