Why Study Home Economics (PSA, 1955)

Do you know those papers for an hour now? Well I'm trying to figure out what courses to take next term.

I have to do that too. What are you taking? Well I have to fill one science requirement in English and I want to take home economics. Oh economics! Why in the world do you want to take home?

Why? Well because that's something I'm going to need to know. And so are you. We have to learn sometime Carol. I'm learning something about home making right now. My two can teach us how to keep house and cook and so and everything we'll need to get by on.

But I don't want to just get by. If I'm going to be a home maker the rest of my life, I want to know what I'm doing. So do I. But personally I think it's the way it's time to take home make.

What can they teach you in home make classes that you can't learn right here at home? Pick up after you get married. Well, I don't know, but there's some things I'm sure. If you find out what it is, you tell me.

Alright, I will find out. Well, since you teach on Mac, Ms. Jenkins, could you tell me what I could learn in home Mac that I can't learn at home? Well, first of all, let's admit one thing, Janice.

If your mother's going to run her own household and keep up on all the latest development and teach you and your sister all there is to know about home making, Well, she's going to be a pretty busy woman.

To tell you the truth, Janice, you need to know more than just how to run a house or an apartment. You need to know why as well as how. Now let's take a look at some of the courses you could take and see what might help you.
