Volume 39 FEBRUARY, 1934 Number 6 Practice Houses Prove Practical Laboratories By DOROTHy L. L A N G D O N, '36 the position of ESTABLISHED in the fall of 1921 under Dean of Home • Economics Mary E. Sweeny, the first home economics p r a c tice house was a building near where the Union now stands. Dr. I r ma H. Gross was director of this first house. After the Union was built, there was a great deal of student feel ing against it Indeed, there was so spoiled the beauty of the Union's site. much feeling against it t h at girls living in t he house feared the same misfortune rumored to have happened to a certain famous barn here—that students would burn it. In the spring of 1928 the furnishings of the practice house were moved to No. 6 Faculty Row, and torn down. A second house, at No. 4 Faculty Row, was opened in J a n u a ry of 1930. the practice house because the original house later was Every group of girls at practice house has a record of its name and activities in the house memory book. Some of the names are unusually illuminating, indicating the fashion of the years, and. what a pessimist would point out, as the trend of the times. From the first group. "The Pioneers", with t he graduation year of 1922, to " T he Revolutionists", '23, "Stick ers", '24, "The Irresponsibles", '25, "The Cylly Cyclysts", '26, indicating '27, "The the bicycle era, "The Crepe Hangers", S p r a tt Family", '27, the n a m es extend to "The Racketeers", '31, and finally to "The I n m a t e s" of '33. Practice house, now "Home Management House," is a reg ular course planned for half a term and required of senior home economics girls. T he situation approximates t h at of a private home as nearly as possible. Each house has a faculty director and from six to eight girls living in it, depending on the registration. Dr. Gross, the first director, is now di rector of both houses and resident at No. 4, and Miss Mary E. Lewis is resi dent at No. 6. Dr. Gross h as not been here consecutively, b ut she h as kept in touch with the home economics division since 1921. • AS I TS main objective, the home management house provides a laboratory to for home management. According an article by Dr. Gross and Miss Lucile W. Reynolds of Oregon State college, "The Functions of the Home M a n a g e ment House," these functions are t h r e e: technological, economic, and social. The technological aim is t h at the students may try out skills learned elsewhere, and gain new ones. To quote from this article, on t he other functions of the home m a n a g e m e nt house: "The eco to nomic furnish concrete situations which will enable the student to see certain prob lems arising from the scarcity of m a terial resources. In its social function, t he house provides h er with experience recognized, of it in group living; function of the house is is t h at this experience function of is n ot family t h at of normal course, the home management houses life." A fourth is to develop in home economics students the point of view t h at homemaking is a worthy profession. the "Insofar as there can be a laboratory for t he social a nd economic problems of the home m a n a g e m e nt family, house is t h at laboratory," states the article by Dr. Gross and Miss Reynolds. When asked whether she felt t h at the home m a n a g e m e nt houses at Michigan State were too ideal to be typical of ordinary middle class homes, Dr. Gross first replied t h at of course the justification for having good equipment is t h at "students should have contact with, a nd know modern equipment even though they may not expect to have it in t he field." The modern conveniences of each home m a n a g e m e nt house here. Dr. Gross explained, consist of a gas stove, a gas refrigerator, a nd a vacuum cleaner. "While the houses are well equipped, they are probably n ot more fully equipped t h an ordinary upper middle class homes," Dr. Gross added. the home m a n a g e m e nt houses may be typical from the laboratory standpoint, they are not neces sarily typical as homes. "It's just too perfect for any house," was the enthusiastic statement of a senior who lived in one of the houses last term. This girl explained t h at the house was so clean all the time and everything went so smoothly, t h at she never expected to live in such a place again, but she thought the experience was worth while as ah inspiration and an ideal for h er own home later. Of course, while One thing t h at might be done to give the home m a n a g e ment house more the atmosphere of an actual home would It has been suggested t h at a be to have a child living here. baby and a child of school age living in the house would give the home m a n agement girls a valuable training. In some other home m a n a g e m e nt houses this has been tried, but never at Michi gan State. • T HE nearest thing to a child in a home m a n a g e m e nt house at Michigan State was a dog one group of girls under Dr. Gross once had. The dog stayed a week, b ut he wasn't doing so well, a nd the girls found h im h a rd to manage scientifically, so they sold him back—for half what they h ad paid for In looking over the memory book him. at home management house No. 4, one may find this n o t e: FIRST PRACTICE HOUSE GROUP Louise Kling, now Mrs. Norman Weil of New York City; Irene Marthen, now Mrs. J.

If you can't remember the Home management houses are organized on the basis of job analysis, with a faculty director t he work divided into as m a ny duties as the number of girls in the rouse. The duties rotate, each duty lasting five or six days, so t h at during the period the girls are in management houses, each girl does each duty once. and. if the group is large enough, each girl is guest for one time. to supervise, and for including the house, the planning From the top of the scale down, t he various duties a r e: manager-cook, assistant cook, waitress, kitchen housekeeper, and one or two other housekeepers. The manager has full responsibility and preparation of meals and. acting as hostess. The manager markets when a nd where she pleasss, except t h at she h as to keep within her budget. She therefore is able to survey t he marketing facilities of the city and to compare the quality of the goods with their price. Her menus are checked by the director, but often, according to Dr. Gross, they are good enough to be accepted without much change. Besides all this, the manager is in charge of the girls doing other duties. Under the manager is the assistant cook, who helps in t he meal preparation. The manager also supervises the waitress, who is responsible for setting t he table, waiting on table, a nd for assisting with the dishes. The kitchen housekeeper is r e sponsible for t he dishwashing and care of the kitchen. The table. kitchen housekeeper also acts as host at The one or two other housekeepers have the care of the living and bed rooms. the dinner Then, in addition individual duties which rotate, t h e re are special managerial problems, one corresponding to each individual job. These are taken up by the group as a to the the individual whole, a nd change every jobs change. time These may be such things as supervision of people and plan ning time schedules. Thus by t he end of half a term spent in home management house, a girl will have done all the different duties herself, and worked with the group on all the managerial problems corresponding to the duties. • IN THE working out of their jobs, the girls perform vari ous experiments to determine t he most efficient ways of do ing things. For example, they may keep track of all the steps taken during the preparation of a standard breakfast, doing it three times to improve. By a dusting experiment, girls found t h at the top of the piano and the top of the radio must be dusted every day to look well, but t h at chairs and some two or other pieces of furniture may be left undusted for three days. levels, To give the girls experience in adjusting the standard of living to different incomes, the food planning and entertain m e nt during a group's stay at the management house are on low, medium, and moderately high. three different Meals on low level have been planned for a period of five or six days for as little as twenty cents per person per day. At present, meals on low level are served at home m a n a g e m e nt houses at Michigan State college for twenty-five cents per person per day, medium level meals for fifty cents, a nd those on the moderately high level, for seventy-five cents per per son per day. The forms of e n t e r t a i n m e nt at home management houses during the period of one group's stay include dinners for fac ulty guests, teas for faculty, student, or town guests, lunch eons, suppers, picnics, or evening parties. There is always For February, Nineteen thirty-four Page 7 W h en t he group budget one dinner, one tea, and one other form of entertainment. Each of these three is given at a different level. Too, during their stay at the house, girls are encouraged to invite a cer tain number of dinner guests of their own. is made out for the group of girls decides at what level to give each of the three kinds of entertainment, a nd makes out the budget accord ingly. Besides the group budget t h at covers the whole period, each m a n a g er makes a budget for her period at t h at duty. Most of the individual m a n a g e rs keep to their budgets a nd almost a hundred per cent of the groups keep to their group budgets. Dr. Gross remembers only one group which did not come out even at t he end of the period. the period, Social life of the girls in home m a n a g e m e nt houses is a big factor in their experience. It is valuable not only as a p r e paration for entertaining in their own homes later, but also in appearing to the best advantage at public functions. For a teacher this latter would be particularly worth while. To quote from the article by Dr. Gross a nd Miss Reynolds: "One has only to observe a group of students at the first guest din ner a nd again at the last social function during their stay in the house to realize how much they have gained in gracious- ness, in ease, in social poise, in the technique of hospitality, in the a rt of conversation." • PROBLEMS which come up during a girl's stay at home m a n a g e m e nt house are discussed in t he "family council," the name sometimes given to the group discussions held two hours a week for t h at purpose. These discussions cover a certain field laid out by the director of the house, but problems of t he girls come first, according to Dr. Gross. The class dis cusses the group managerial problems, a nd criticisms are of fered. Problems such as family relations a nd adjustment, house furnishings, and t he like are given as separate courses, and are not included in the m a n a g e m e nt house class discus sions. So far as t he work at the home management house is con cerned, a girl who works for her room and board at a private home declared t h at she felt freer in management house t h an when working. When she finished her work in the private home, her employer always t h o u g ht up something more for her to do, while in the m a n a g e m e nt house, when she h ad fin ished her duty, she was through. Of course, three credits are given for approximately six weeks of home m a n a g e m e nt house when ordinarily one h as to take a course all term to get three credits, so the home management course is hard. But one senior remarked t h at while she spent from four to five hours a day in the house when she was manager, she didn't less begrudge time. the time, a nd the other duties require much For the sensitive type of girl, home m a n a g e m e nt house is sometimes a scare. The girls are judged a nd marked accord ing to a personality chart which covers their social ability, tactfulness, neatness, personal appearance, cooperation, and many other things. Each girl has a conference with the di rector about t he girl's personality, a nd is given this chart to t h i nk about; W h en asked about h er m a n a g e m e nt house ex perience, one girl said t h at she felt as though she were in a class every minute being watched, and she was under a con stant nervous strain. Probably this girl never read the a d vertisement pointing out t h at girls are in a beauty contest every minute of their lives. t he experience of group • ALMOST every girl who h as lived in a home m a n a g e m e nt living. house is enthusiastic about The same girl who spoke of t he nervous strain of living there said t h at "living with t he girls was grand," a nd went on to say how she t h o u g ht living together in this way brought out t he finer things in girls. All strata of college life may be represented in one group living at a home m a n a g e m e nt house, and girls have an opportunity to know other girls they per h a ps t h o u g ht were snobbish or inferior before. Besides liv ing together, the girls in a m a n a g e m e nt house are all working together on the same productive enterprise, a nd while the period of friendships are often is short, formed at m a n a g e m e nt house. The memory book of one of living there firm these houses is full of testimonials to t he fun of group living there.

Also t h is experi ence develops her managerial ability so t h at she will be able to face other situations; it gives her an opportunity to try out techniques learned elsewhere, to develop h er social abil fixed ity, a nd budget for different to expend money according income levels. to learn to a In speaking of her experience at a m a n a g e m e nt house, one girl complained t h at the situation wasn't t h at of t he normal life of a housewife, because it included classes too. However, more and more women are keeping up their homes a nd their careers too, now, a nd there is a distinct likeness between the position of these women a nd the students taking home m a n agement house. The opportunity to in home m a n a g e m e nt practice time schedules houses should help t he future housewife who. will work to keep her home running smoothly. to develop skills a nd the use of T he most valuable contribution of the home management house to a girl's life is to develop in her certain points of view. It is hoped t h at t he girl may come to t h i nk of her choice of home-making as t h at of a career.

The score this time was 33 to 26. t he The victory, the fifth in a row for State, came at the con clusion of a nip and tuck struggle before more t h an 4,000 fans in Demonstration hall. State h ad previously defeated t he Wolverines 26 to 25 in an early season game at Ann Arbor. Both teams hung closely together through the first p a rt of the tilt with Michigan holding a thin one-point lead at the half.

The four point proved to be a last, telling blow to the Michigan chances a nd they couldn't regain their stride to close the gap. Maurice Buysse.

Three items turned the trick: State's infallibility at the free throw line where they converted seven out of seven times; Nick VanderRoest's last minute j u mp shot; a nd Bob Herrick's deadly sharpshooting for ten points. Other victories during the past m o n th came over Michigan Normal, Central State, a nd Loyola of Chicago. Michigan Normal pulled a surprise act and nearly stole a game from the Spartans, sending into an overtime period. In the extra session, however. State regained command a nd t h an won 34 to 27.
