To insure real ability to use the principle of space division which has
just been developed, it will be necessary to give the class several
problems which they may judge as a group. These in turn should be
followed by other problems which will call for individual planning and
the application of the principle in their solution. The number of such
problems will vary with the class, but there should be enough to insure
the desired ability. Furthermore, those given should be from as varied
fields as possible so that the pupils will be able to make their own
applications as needed.
=Series of Suggested Problems to Test Pupils' Ability to Recognize
and Use the Principle of Proportion Just Developed=
[Sidenote: Judgment problems given for class solution]
1. "In which of these doors do you think the division into panels
is most satisfactory? Why?"
In this problem, as in the succeeding ones, the solution is not
considered adequate unless each pupil can justify the choice she
makes or the answer she gives according to the principle which was
established in the earlier part of this lesson.
2. "On which of these book covers do you think the space is best
divided? Why?"
3. "Small boxes have a variety of uses in our homes. These are all
approximately the same in size. Which do you think has the most
interesting relation between the depth of the lid and the depth of
the box? Why?"
4. "Helen is planning to make a dress with a cape collar. Her mother
thinks the collar is not deep enough and suggests that Helen change
the pattern. How could she determine the most becoming depth for her
cape collar?"
5. "Jane did not have enough cloth to make a dress without piecing
it or buying more material. She decided to put a yoke in the waist.
How deep on the waist do you think a yoke should come to be most
attractive?"
6. "Mary has some 6-inch glass candlesticks at home. How can she
determine the length of candle that would be most suitable when they
are used on the buffet?"
[Sidenote: Creative problem involving activity]
7. "Arrange the window shades so that the window space and the depth
of the shade are pleasing in their relation to each other. Justify
the arrangement you have made."
[Sidenote: Judgment problem involving activity]
8. "Choose a girl with whom to work during the next few minutes.
Check to see if the dresses you are wearing to-day have the belts
so placed that each dress is divided as well as possible. Suggest
any desirable changes for each other and justify each change."
(At some time in the development and subsequent use of the principle
established in this lesson it will be well to connect it with a
previously established and closely related principle. Such a
connection is made use of in the following problems.)

developed]
