TEACH GIRLS DUTIES
OF A HOME
Supt. Weaver Urges Enlarged
Scope of Practical Teachings
in Continuation Schools
PUT EFFICIENCY IN HOME
A. M. Weaver, superintendent of the
schools read a paper at tile con-vention
of tie- Pennsylvania School
Teacher-' Association, at I larrisliurg.
Wednesday, on Continuation Schools.
Mr. W.aver has made an exhaustive
study of the matter and gives his Ideas
of what the schools should do to be of
the greatest benefit to the Individual
and the St ite. The paper deals sep-arately
with the teaching of girls and
DO} s.
The first article Is printed here and
the second article dealing with the
boys' school will be printed in the Re-
Corder next Tuesday.
"The continuation school Is In such
an experimental stage that one la ■ i
iaies to advance any \iews on the
subject. Besides our own slate. Wis-consin
Is the only state In the Cnlon
with compulsory continuation schools
where they were created by legislation
in 1911. This type of school has ex-isted
in (iermany for quite a long
period of time. It would, no doubt,
be unwise lo attempt to transplant the
German system of industrial cduca-tinii
in toto to America. However, the
on- nisatlon and administration of
these schools both in Wisconsin and
Germany may contain valuable sug-gestions
for a workable system in
Pennsylvania.
"Considerable doubt seems to axial
in the lay mind as to the wisdom of
the continuation school. Said Mr.
Cooley. I lire, ii,,- of the continuation
schools of Milwaukee: "There should
sed that no one should
talk of continuation schools until they
have seen . thousand of these little
children gathered together. Then
there would be nothing to talk about."
"It seems fair to conclude that the
educational trade trninlng acquired in
I he continuation schools of Germany-is
the basis of much of theOnftustrial
' lie iency of that country. To produce
n better type of citizen and make a
more Industrially efficient nation is the
ralson d'etre of these schools in iJi-many.
Without the continuation
school, children between 14 and 16
years of age, who go to work are edu-oatlonally
disinherited.
"Besides the continuation school has
lal value Says the Judge of the
Municipal Court in Racine: "Almost
invariably If a wayward boy or girl
Is induced to enroll In the continuation
schools, he ceases his course of way-wardness
and is greatly benefltted."
"Sa.s the truant officer of Milwaukee,
Mr. Pestalossl: "There are about 6,000
child-workers In the continuation
schools of Milwaukee. Were It not
for these schools nine-tenths of these
children would be beyond our reach."
"Some of the employers of these per-mit
workers have told me that since
the establishment of continuation
schools, these boys and girls have a
better attitude towards their work
and are more .amenable to discipline
in shop and factory.
"On the constructive side, this pa-per
will deal first of all with what in
the writer's opinion constitutes the
Hind of training that should be given
the ghls of the continuation school,
'in this point we offer suggestions
with a reasonable degree of certainty,
licsides the purely academic work giv-en
the girls, their education in the
continuation school should center
around the home. Vocational training
foi girls must find its outlet In the
home.
"There nre some very good reasons
for holding this view. Statistics show
that nearly all of these girls will mar-ry
and that too, rather young. Their
husbands' will earn on an average from
five to seven hundred dollars per year.
These future wives should know how
in manage the home economically and
wisely on its income. It means some-thing
to teach people how to live on
the wages they are paid,
"The home, as well as the school,
e,m contribute to the earning capacity
of its workers. It Is the duty of the
home to see to it that Its workers are
kepi In as good a physical condition
as possible. Here the wife's oppor-tunity
is large. She should In' ade-quately
trained to meet this respon-sibility.
"licsides. domestic art as a feature
in the education of woman is so vital
an expression of her nature that to
ignore ii In any curriculum is to Ig-nore
the very center around which her
life revolves.
"Hut there is another point of view
from which to look at this question
of what should be taught the girls of
the continuation school. As u nation
we are concerned not alone with the
production of economic goods, but
with their consumption as well. It Is
Important to teach a people variety In
the consumption of economic Roods.
If a people fails to exercise a wide
choice in the consumption of goods,'
the market is necessarily limited
thereby.
"Now, standards of living affect the
consumption of goods. We are great-ly
concerned, therefore, that these
standards be as high as existing Condi-lions
will warrant. To the Improve...
meat of the standards of living the

It is important then
assist the home in b
deslri .1 result.
"It follows, therefore, that the girls
of the continuation school should be
taught cooking, sewing, household
management, household arts, house-hold
accounting, sanitation, and the
elements of nursing. Their work in
household accounting should be baaed
on a I itiliI>' income of from five to sex -
en hundred dollars a year, and not on
some Mctltious income. They should
knoxv -oinething about the element*
of nursing, especially about the Oan
of chi! Iron, in order to properly safe-guard
the health of the children who
will come into the home.
"If any employer objects to what Is
here suggested as the kind of voca-tional
training that should be given
the girls of the continuation school ^»n
the giound that we are not teaching
tlu'iii anything directly connected with
their work, let hiai be reminded that

to conduct a home on the wuges that

"To classify occupat
unless by way of t
ceirsfi seems difficult,
at reed that the girls o
tlon school lack the pre
in ^c necessary to p
shorthand. Their train
and Spelling is said t
C'ient. '
"The City of Munich maintains a
commercial course for t lose boys and
girls who are employed In offices and
Stores. The length of lis course is
three years, und those who enroll In
It must attend school t least nine
hours a week. At the (expiration of
the three years these pupils may enroll
in ■ higher type of commercial school,
which Is maintained by the city for
this class of students. Boys and girls
who finish the prescribed course are
able to enter the better paid positions.
"A school district, with at least
v pupils who are employed In
offices and stores, may maintain, if
deemed expedient, a commercial
course. This course should not, I
thin;. Include stenography. The sub-jects
offered should be typewriting,
ntnry bookkeeping, salesmanship,
business forms, commercial arithmetic,
spelling, penmanship, etc. Such a
counc might stimulate some of its
Students to complete a commercial
course in a higher type of school.
Besides, there are positions, clerical In
churtcter, where the ability to write
shorthand is not required. This
oounsp nriwtrr -possibly fnrnlsh suffi-cient
training for sprne of those posi-tions.
"The commercial course may have
mixed classes, but In no other course
offered by the continuation school
should there be mixed classes. The
reason for this conclusion is obvious.
"For girls who are employed in trade
and industrial occupations as trained
Workers, the City of Munich maintains
an industrial course. This course is
also ihree years in length. There are,
I have no doubt, school districts in
Pennsylvania with enough of this type
of worker to organize an Industrial
course.
"The complete form of organization
of the continuation school for girls
will accordingly include three courses:
domestic economy, commercial and
industrial. Hut the course In domes-tic
economy is to be the first and
foremost.
"There Is another feature of the
education of girls that the continua-tion
school should very strongly em-phasize.
These girls must be interest-ed
in reading. Experience shows that
they will read fiction, biography, and
books, the subject matter of which re-lates
to their work In the continuation
school. The average book of biog-raphy
is too heavy to interest these
girls. But "The Snow Baby" by Mrs.
1'iaiy "Stories of Our Country" by
Johonaot, "Our Little Cousins' Series"
and many similar books, containing
bits of history, biography and adven-ture
t«ld In a simple way, with a
strong human interest, are read and
re-read.
"Lists of honks, contained In the
public library, which these girls will
read, should be made and posted in
the school room. The public library
will, perhaps, be willing to add to its
collection books that the continuation
school would like to have. If not, then
they should be purchased by the school
district. Our public library Is not only
willing, within the limits of its incdme,
to purchase such books for us, but is
also willing to place those books in
the school room itself. The school
must become the guarantor for the
proper use and return of these books.
Muny parents, especially is this true
of foreigners, will not permit their
children to take out library books, be-cause
of the possibility of expense con-nected
therewith.
"When once these books uro avail-able,
the continuation school teacher
should get the irfrls Interested In them.
This can be done by telling the girls
Interesting things contained in these
books, or by reading parts of them.
The continuation school must reach
out Into iho home, and one of the best
ways of doing this Is to so interest its
pupils In books that they will be taken
into the home, where these books may
not only be read by the pupil but by
the members of the family as well,
"Before passing to something else,
let me say that I In my opinion a little
book called "Thttft for Young Ameri-cans"
should h«| placed In every con-tinuation
school,of the state. The ma*
'terial of this look may be, made the
basis of some Interesting and profit-able
discussion* It affords an excel-lent
opportunity for both pupils and
teacher to contribute from their own
experience.
