To add further to the pleasantness of the living room, classes were taught to make storage shelves and cupboards to remove the clutter of utensils and clothing, and to provide space for the family to assemble in their home. And since taking a meal together is one way of creating happy family associations, and since most of the huts could not afiord permanent space for a family-size table, Miss Haglund designed a folding table and set the people to making them. It was not difficult to arouse the enthusiasm of men, women and young people, once they began to see what they could accomplish with the work of their hands and the use of tools _ even very simple tools that they had never seen before. Miss Haglund said: “It is my dream that community centres should be living centres with sewing machines and tables for 'cutting out‘ and carpenter’s tools # for ex- ample, a plane. When a man sees what he can do with a plane he goes to work with entirely new interest. A community centre should provide whatâ€" ever equipment is practical for people to use in their own setting. One of the worst things is to have a course in a big, modern laboratory equip- ped with machinery that the students will never have in their home communities." One part of Miss Haglund’s home furnishing course was planning the arrangement of furniture in a home to give the most convenience and comâ€" fort. The young people who took this course as local leaders found that their home communities were most responsive to demonstrations given in actual homes. They took some of their handâ€"made furniture with them as illustrative material and their great difficulty sometimes was that the famâ€" ilies in the homes where they gave their demona strations hated to part with the new equipment. The local leaders made use of skits, too, just as we do in Ontario. One of these skits had an un- happy family â€" unhappy because their home was poorly equipped and badly arranged. and a happy family who had put into practice what they had Hand made folding dining table, seals and shelves, I4 A bed that provides a day bed for the living learned at the training school. As might pected, the happy family arranged to be others with their problem and they all joint-v and told how they were all going to try to h community. It seems that the people of tin love play-acting and find it an excellent . doing their teaching. The skit went from to parish and the movement for better prospered accordingly. In the field of nutrition Miss Haglund hi use of posters effective. As in any count primary study is in the feeding of children.
