Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Teacher's Manual of Lessons on Domestic Economy The following Manual for teachers in public and private schools, and for students in training colleges, aims at a distinctive mode of presenting the subject. It is specially designed to meet the new Government requirements in teaching Domestic Economy as a class subject. Instead of furnishing materials and methods suited only to the upper classes taking specific subjects, it provides for the necessary lessons in each class. Thus, at first, only easy experiments and the simplest explanation are made use of; more complicated experiments and more strictly theoretical exposition are introduced very gra dually. Again, each portion of the subject is here generally treated in a three fold way. First, a large number of facts are tersely but clearly stated, as Information for the Teacher, so that she may herself fully understand the subject she is handling. Next, the same subject is treated in the early stages as a Specimen Lesson for Teachers, that they may know how to deal prac tically with the materials for teaching purposes. And lastly, very compendious Notes of Lessons on the same items are drawn up, for use before the class as memory-helps to recall the heads and subdivisions of the Specimen Lessons. The author has been led to adopt in this book this threefold method of pre scutation by his experience in practical teaching. He has taught the subject in this way in Demonstration Lectures to a class of head and assistant mis tresses, and in Specimen and Model Lessons in girls' and mixed schools, and his experience encourages the belief that other teachers will find the method valuable. Nothing found to be beyond the comprehension of the children has been retained in these pages; while those aspects which have been found to awaken the greatest interest in the class have been brought forward most prominently in the Manual. The book is self-contained for the purposes for which it is written. All compilation work necessary for the Notes of Lessons has been done by the author, so that the teacher may have more time for herself to study and think out the suggestions in the specimen lessons.
