Abstract

Scope and Method of Study: The problem of storage among students and families of the Slick, Oklahoma Community is quite a serious one. Check lists were distributed among students to be checked carefully with other family members. Home visits were made at intervals by the writer as this study progressed. Other information was acquired from various agencies such as farm clubs, local lumber companies, local carpenters, grocery stores, hardware stores and financing and suggestions from parents and relatives including the cooperation of my high school principal and Superintendent.


Findings and Conclusion: It is evident that many families in various sections of the country are living in homes where storage facilities are very limited, and little or no money is available for the improvement of these conditions. Some suggestions to other Industrial Arts teachers for improving these conditions are: That more home visits be made in surrounding communities and throughout the state to become aware of the need for improved storage in the homes and schools. That Industrial Arts teachers of Oklahoma study communities in which they work and place special emphasis on guiding students and families in improving storage facilities.
