2.2 Program for Out-of-School Groups.

 2.21 Purpose and Scope. Programs in homemaking education are
 intended to provide instruction which will enable families to
 improve the quality of family living through the more
 efficient development and utilization of human and material
 resources. Anyone over 16 years of age who evidences
 mental and physical competence to profit from the instruction
 is eligible for instruction in homemaking.

 2.22 Methods for Determining Offerings. Programs for out-of-
 school youth and adults offer experiences in the different
 areas of home and family living. In some communities
 these may be provided in the same year while in others the
 offerings may extend over a longer period of time.

 2.23 Organizational Plans. A series of short unit courses
 representing different areas of homemaking should be pro-
 moted. Courses should not be repeated except for new
 enrollees. Advanced short unit courses may be provided
 in areas of homemaking for which more advanced training
 is desired.

 To relate instruction to the problems of the homemaker, it
 is desirable for the instructor to visit the home to guide the
 homemaker and to relate the in-class instruction more
 closely to home problems and situations.

 Evening school courses may be offered at any time during
 the day or evening and at any time during the calendar year.

 2.24 Plans for Evaluation. Continuous evaluation is used as a
 basis for program revision and should be planned at the
 time tentative objectives or goals are determined. Follow-
 up of the program will include working with individual
 families on their homemaking problems.

 2.25 Administrative Relationships and Arrangements. Space,
 equipment, maintenance, and teaching materials may be
 used when in a suitable location and when available.
