CHAPTER II

SUGGESTIONS FOR CLASS MANAGEMENT

TEACHERS' PREPARATION

In no subject is careful planning of the details of the lesson more
important than in Household Management. The definite length of the
period allowed in the school programme for this work makes economy of
time absolutely necessary. The cooking processes cannot be hurried, and
unless there is in the teacher's mind a well-arranged plan for the use
of the time, a part of the lesson is apt to be hastily and carelessly
done. Then, too, in the limited space of one room, a number of people
cannot work without confusion unless there is system.

The pupils enjoy a well-regulated lesson and their co-operation is
gained, while, through the poor results of a lesson indifferently
planned, they lose self-confidence and the sense of responsibility.

NUMBER IN THE CLASS

As a Household Management class is one that calls for individual
supervision, the number should not exceed twenty-four, and a smaller
class ensures more thorough supervision on the part of the teacher.
Neatness, thoroughness, and accuracy are important factors in the work
of each lesson, and the number of pupils should not be so large that a
lack of these will pass unnoticed.

UNIFORMS, ETC.

The uniform consists of a large, plain, white apron with a bib large
enough to protect the dress, a pair of sleevelets, a holder, a small
towel for personal use, and a white muslin cap to confine the hair.
(See Frontispiece.) Each pupil will also require a note-book and pencil
for class, and a note-book to be used at home for re-copying the class
work in ink. These books should
