EXTRACTED TEXT FROM PAGE:
the entire life span for a greater understanding and appreciation of family life* From the very young to the very old, and for men as well as women, home economics has a significant contribution to make. There is a real challenge for the improvement of teaching which begins with the teachers themselves and their continued refreshment which they must gain in order that the educational experience which they are providing continues on an increasingly broadened basis. The challenge of working more with those representing other professions, making better use of facilities available and seeing the interrelatedness of the fields within home economics is essential. Home economics must be challenged by the need to test the reality of its goal implementation, and this can be done through increased and varied research. No other field of education has assumed such responsibilities as home economics has in its effort to affect family life, both urban and rural through its changing program. It must continue as a creative, imaginative, individualized kind of education which is exciting to those people who teach, as well as to those who receive this kind of education. If home economics is to fulfill its long-time goal which I firmly believe it can and must, there is a tremendous challenge to it in the education of families and individuals who are living in the contemporary world. 17
