A742.1Description
Booklet titled, A Barrack Becomes A Home, is a report of a project at Manzanar War Relocation Center to teach students home economics. It contains three photographs.
"It has been felt by many authorities that this lack of a normal home situation has had a more detrimental influence on the young people of the camp than any other phase of the evacuation. Under such circumstances, the need for training in all fields of home economics was far greater than in the average school. Facilities were available for the teaching of foods and clothing, but there was no place in which general homemaking courses could be taught effectively."Collection
