Shall The Teaching of Domestic Science
In Rural Schools Be Attempted By
The Untrained Teacher?
In reply to a number.of requests
wbieh have come to me from teachers
of Coffee county, in regard to an at
tempt ot teach Domestic Science in
the rural schools, I shall be glad to
give a little general information, as
my time is too limited to give personal
aid to each.
At the recent meeting of the South
ern Home Economics Conference, Dr.
Charles A. McMurry, Pres, of Peabody
College for Teachers, said, that the
Home Economics work not receiving
the recognition that other branches of
education were receiving because so
many untrained were allowed to enter
its field. Just here, in view of present
and future conditions, the question of
the nature before stated must be stud
ied and re-studied before a plausible
solution can be reached.
We have with us the one and two
teacher rural school, and will have for
some time yet. These it is true can
not afford to have a well trained teach
er, or to say the least, a one year
special. However this work, which
without a doubt is being more-strong
ly emphasized than any other branch
of education for women, can be cared
for by careful planning and common
sense thinking.
The Government is troubled no lit
tle over the petty recognition it is
receiving after expending so much in
behalf of this work. The trouble is
not that the subject is not being put
before us, but we have so little general
knowledge in regard to what we have
and therefore know not what we need
or want.
The solution is this, many of us are
“sleeping on our jobs.”
In all counties where Domestic
Science is being encouraged and sup
port given, the state provides for a
County Canning Club, or Demonstrat
ing Agent who is not only in a posit
ion to study with your comunities
peculiar needs, and tell you how to
fill them, but can secure or aid you in
securing any information whatsoever
you desire in regard to the kind and

You will find it to your advantoge, see
me if you wish a farm loan. I can give you
any kind yon desire, and with the least ex
pense. If you wish an ordinary farm loan
1 can place it for you at 5 1-2 or 6 percent
interest at from sto 10 years, with the
privilege of paying the principal at any an
nual interest paying peroid. if you prefer to
do so. thus stopping interest.
1 can also make you a twenty year loan
under same method as loans which will be
made under the Federal farm loan system.
If you will let me know what you want in
the way of farm loan I can please you and
save you money.

amount of material you may need.
Your County School Superintendent
and Farm Demonstrating Agent can
also aid you in securing Government
Bulletins on same.
The Government is more than glad
to give a number of these for the ask
ing only.
The Bureau of Education, with Mrs.
Palvin as Home Economics Specialist
says “you don’t know how it hurts us
to spend days in solving your own
rural problems and then not to have
you even ask for the solution.”
The department offers an excellent
course in “Twenty Lessons in Cook
ing in Rural Schools” to be had for
the asking only.
These are only minor citations to
the vast amount of free, yet valuable
material, offered.
Now in view of all that has been
said the untrained rural teacher has
not yet had her question answered.
The teacher who entered the teach
ing profession before the demand for
the D. S. work was presented, does
not feel that she can give up the pro
fession for this reason only. The so
lution is this: If a subject is worth
while, it is worth doing well; prepare
yourselves through short courses giv
en in the preparatory schools or sum
mer college work; cooperate with your
county agents, visit schools where
work is given, or attend the schools
which the state has designed to pre
pare teachers or home makers. Right
here in your midst, is a school which
not only offers a strong three year
course, but a teachers course as well.
In order to see what such a teacher is
prepared to do, come in to the Eleventh
District school and observe a class con
ducted by a senior girl. Then if you
really -are interested and desire the
right kind of knowledge you can easily
decide where and how to-get it.
