The purpose of this study is to present the development of the home economics program of the Teachers College High School from its beginning to the present time of the thesis. It aims to show the type and number of of courses offered, the number of and classification of students enrolled, and what provision was made for the supervision of instruction in these classes. The main body of the thesis is composed of five chapters, which may be outlined in the following manner. Chapter II is a historical sketch of the Teachers College High School. It tells the story of the founding of the parent institution, its development into a teacher's college, and the establishment of a demonstration school as a teacher-training laboratory for college students. Chapter III of the study traces the course offerings in the high school from 1909 to 1939. In this connection, the nature and number of the courses offered are discussed and attention is given to the development of various new phases of the work. Table I shows the development. Chapter IV deals with some aspects of the enrollment of the high school students in the home economics courses. Chapter V of the thesis deals with the supervision of home economics instruction in the high school. Two tables outline the teaching lode of the supervisors. Chapter VI presents a summary of the findings and the conclusions of the study. Since no previous study of the development of the home economics program in the Teachers College High School has been made, this survey should be valuable to those interested in the growth of home economics in this institution.
