An Experiment in Homemaking with the Children of Migrant Farm Workers

Author: National Council of Churches of Christ
Date Published: 1957


The purpose of the experiment was threefold: to discover way of meeting some of the needs of children of migratory families through teaching them skills that would immediately be useful in their life situations; to demonstrate to the staff of the Migrant Ministry how projects can be developed and to interpret their values in the lives of the children and their parents; to interest local and state educational groups in the validity of including practical skills in schools that migratory children attend and in the summer school specifically provided for them.
