A study of the extent to which clothing reclamation is being taught in the high schools of Virginia

Abstract

dc:description.abstract

The present study was undertaken to determine how the urgent wartime need for clothing reclamation is being met, by the home economics departments of the Virginia Public Schools. It was felt that one procedure for this was to determine the various clothing reclamation processes being taught in the schools as well as those which are being performed by the students. It was decided to limit the study to the schools offering vocational home economics for white students in Virginia. Data used were secured from 31 teachers and 123 students in 29 schools. The period of time covered was from 1940-43.
