 GENERAL INFORMATION TEXTS

Baxter, Laura and Margaret M. Justin and Lucile O. Rust. 1940 SHARING HOME LIFE. J.
B. Lippincott Company, Philadelphia. Price $1.68. This is an up-to-date text having material
related to all the problems and activities suggested in the Home Economics Course of Study for
Florida High Schools. The illustrations are of young people of the same age as the pupils for
whom the book is written. There are many varied activities suggested. The unit-problem organ-
ization of the book is a help to both teacher and pupil; each of the 265 problems can serve as a
daily lesson if so desired. The reading lists at the end of each unit have been compiled with
extreme selectivity. Those books listed will be found of direct and continuous assistance to pupil
and teacher.
Friend, Mata R. and Hazel Shultz. 1940 (Revised) A FIRST BOOK IN HOME ECONOMICS.
D. Appleton-Century Company, Inc., New York. Price $1.80.. This book is designed as a begin-
ning text in home economics, which may be introduced in some schools as early as the seventh grade.
The revision is created to meet the demand for a one-volume treatment of the basic content of the
three-volume series written by the same authors. Modern in presentation, illustrations, and format.
Graves, Mildred and Marjorie M. Ott. 1934 YOUR HOME AND FAMILY. Little, Brown and
Company, Boston. Price $1.40. The text is intended for use by junior high school pupils in a
one-year's survey course. The pupils are introduced to all phases of homemaking, emphasizing
the part of the junior high school girl in these family relationships. It is a text perhaps better
adapted to training in homes in higher economic levels than one usually finds in our rural areas.
The only income range mentioned is from $1,800 to $2,500 per year. A great deal of material is
condensed in this one book. Bibliographies, tests, activities, two plays are included in addition to
the regular textual material.
Kinyon, Kate W. and L. Thomas Hopkins. 1936 JUNIOR HOME PROBLEMS (Revised) Ben-
jamin H. Sanborn & Company, Chicago. Price $1.12. This book has been planned for general use
as a textbook in junior high school home economics. It contains material on family relations, fi-
nance, housekeeping, care of younger children, home nursing, hospitality and other units.
Matthews, Mary Lockwood. 1936 THE NEW ELEMENTARY HOME ECONOMICS. Little,
Brown and Company, Boston. Price $1.50. This is intended for use in classes beginning the study
of home economics. It is, however, rather advanced in content and presentation for junior high
school pupils in the seventh and eighth grades.
Talbot, Nora A. and Florence L. Lytle, Millie V. Pearson and Anna May Johnson. 1936 PRAC-
TICAL PROBLEMS IN HOME LIFE, American Book Company, Atlanta, Georgia. Price $1.32.
The book is written for boys and girls in the home in order to help them acquire right attitudes
toward homemaking. An attempt has been made to build an appreciation of the permanent values
of homemaking rather than to develop skill in homemaking activities. The material is presented
from standpoint of young people helping and sharing in home activities.
