Book excerpt: Excerpt from Syllabus of Domestic Science and Domestic Art for the High Schools of Illinois, Vol. 15 For the information of those interested the following notes concerning the development of this Syllabus are hereby given. In 1907, believing that the time had come for more determined efforts to introduce domestic science and domestic art into the public schools of Illinois, the Department of Household Science of the University of Illinois invited a few interested persons to consider such plans with them at the time of the High School Conference, November, 1907. As a result of that meeting the following persons were chosen to serve as a committee: Miss Isabel Bevier, Chairman; Mrs. Mary Pierce Van Zile, Miss Carrie Galt, Miss Helena M. Pincomb, Mr. J. H. Browning, and Mr. T. C. Clendenen. This committee undertook the preparation of a syllabus for the unifying of the work in domestic science and domestic art in the high schools of the state. Owing to the unorganized condition of the work, the committee found it necessary to make a syllabus flexible enough to meet very different conditions. It seemed to them better to suggest an orderly development of the subjects Food, Clothing, and the Home and to leave to individual schools the selection of the work as well as the allotment of time to each. In July, 1908, the syllabus was published. In November, 1908, it was discussed in the newly organized Domestic Science Section of the High School Conference. A new committee consisting of the following persons was appointed: Miss Helena M. Pincomb, Chairman; Miss Jenny Snow and Miss Carrie Galt. This committee was asked to formulate a definition for a unit of entrance credit. The committee defined one unit of entrance credit in Household Science as follows: a. An equivalent of 180 hours of prepared work with at least two recitation periods a week in foods. b. An equivalent of 180 hours of prepared work with at least one recitation period a week in clothing. c. An equivalent of 180 hours of prepared work with at least two recitation periods a week on the home. (Two periods of laboratory work are considered equivalent to one period of prepared work.) 1. Of the above, (a) will be accepted as a unit's work. 2. Two half units taken from a and b, or a and c, or b and c will be accepted as a unit's work. The syllabus is recommended as a basis for a unit of entrance credit. The work is to be done by trained teachers with individual equipment as determined by inspection.
