1. Information must be authentic.

2. It should be pertinent to the study at hand.

3. It should be not only clear, concise, and interesting, but easy to understand.

4. It should include a wide variety of well chosen and clearly reproduced ill.u.s.trations.

5. Ill.u.s.trations should for the most part represent objects with which the girls come in frequent contact.

6. It should be up to date.

7. Subject matter and ill.u.s.trations should avoid extravagant choices that are not within the reach of the average family.

8. It should contain a good table of contents and index.

Since there is such a quant.i.ty of current magazine and advertising material, it is obvious that it can not all be used and therefore it is imperative that the teacher evaluate it and choose with keen discrimination all that she plans to utilize for ill.u.s.trative or reference purposes. Much of this material is valuable and may be had for the asking.

While it is desirable for the teacher to have subscriptions to several of the most helpful magazines for cla.s.s use, it is not imperative, since she may procure many of them from pupils, from other teachers, and from the school or local community library.

Several State departments have issued helpful lists of available advertising material for home economics, including related art.
