    The aim of this third survey was to submit information about home economics education related to the Unesco Survey. The questionnaires were sent to teachers engaged in home economics education in primary schools, junior high schools and senior high schools. Responses to the items as to curriculum development were analyzed and the results were compared with those of my former two surveys and the Unesco Survey. As to home economics education at present, the support to the three levels of regard would appear to indicate a situation in which tearchers' opinion is lagging behind that of university faculties and teacher consultants. As to the future view of home economics education, the discrepancy of opinions decreased. They maintained almost the same objectives as those revealed in the former two surveys. They supported boys' participation in home economics at junior and senior high school in rather negative attitude.

    It seems that effective food education on nutrition should be carried on from the early stage of homemaking education not only from the standpoint of the variety and function of nutriment but also from that of quantity. And we tried to afford an effective teaching material for the food education. Our particular attention was given to the following : 1) To the description of quantity of nutrition with a new unific unit for each nutriment, though quantity is described with various units for each today. 2) To the making of bar graphs of the quantity of nutriments so that school children may understand the quantity easily. Thus, the teaching material enables school children to understand directly both the recommended daily dietary allowances of complicated volume and the quantity of each nutriment in food, it also enables them to compare immediately the recommended allowances with the quantity of each nutriment in the food they cooked, and they can make a plan of well-ballanced meals by themselves more easily.

    In the present study food pictures were used in combination with the teaching program 'Menus for Juveniles' introduced in the preceding report. The menus that they made according to the program were examined and evaluated in the same way as in the former report. In addition, a comparison was made between their records in the former and those in the present study. The results were as follows; 1) A relationship was found between the girls' food habits at home and their menu results only in terms of taste combination. 2) A relationship was found between their SS and their results in their relevance to that shown in 'the list of individual food groups'. 3) Their records in the present study were significantly better than those in the preceding one in terms of their food classifications, their relevance to 'general standard of intake of food groups', and their food allocation for three meals. 4) The food pictures seemed to stimulate them to work harder, to help them to think concretely, and to enable them to make better menus.

    We conducted first-hand investigations into the tastes of Junior High School students with a view to seeing how the guidance of seasoning should be situated in the cooking lessons given to them and to studying the method of its guidance. The results of our investigations are as follows : 1. According to our investigations as to the students' eating habits and tastes, precooked food was so frequently eaten that there was a tendency of the eating habits and tastes becoming uniform and westernized. The tastes which the students like were comparatively thick and strong. So were the tastes of their mothers who prepared food. 2. According to the discrimination test of taste applied to them by using filter paper, the percentage of the correct answers to sweetness reached the highest percentage of 70.7%, that made to saltiness was 65.5%, that made to bitterness was 64.9%, that made to acidity was 47.4% and that made to deliciousness was 46.9%. 3.

    Though a campaign for enlightenment about preventing teeth decay has been promoting, the rate of infant teeth decay is going on increasing at present. We thought that the reasons of no fulfilment of propylactic measure were the shortage of kindergartners' knowledge about teeth and the insufficiency on the management of mouth sanitation. In order to solve these problems, following experiments were carried out. 1. Fundamental investigation on teeth. 2. Colour test for cleanliness of teeth. 3. Investigation on knowledge of teeth. 4. Education for health of teeth. 5. Investigations of effects on the results of above items. From these investigations the following results were obtained; The students got good understanding on the importance of teeth sanitation and they learned their guiding methods about cleanliness of teeth. Students showed a keen interest in keeping their own healthful teeth and they received positively medical treatment to make their teeth healthful. In future when they become a kindergartner, it will be certain that in their teaching they will make good use of the knowledge and experience gained from these learning.
