Discontinued Adult Home Economic Course Sparks Local Loss
The Brockman School adult class Care of the House and Special Duties in the Home taught by Alberta Allen is discontinued as the Texas Education Agency says no funds remain for part time and evening vocational courses this fiscal year. The course aimed to train maids to organize and lead home chores. Monahans residents and local housewives lose the program, with a note that it might resume next year if funding returns. The piece also cites Laura Hamner’s Amarillo column recalling Monahans’ 1885 Pecos roundup history and water-bound trains stopping there.
