NEWS FROM THE FIELD News Items from the Northwest. Miss Katherine Martindale has been appointed instructor at the University of Washington to succeed Miss Elizabeth Rothermel, who has resigned. Miss Martindale is a graduate of Smith College and received her professional training at the University of Wisconsin. Miss Lucy Dice, 1915, is to be cafeteria manager at the Young Women's Christian Association in Bellingham, Washington. Miss Lulu Condron, University of Washington 1916, has been appointed instructor in Domestic Art subjects at the University of Wyoming. The following new teachers have received appointments in the Seattle Schools: Achsah Matthews, Columbia University; Georgia Meeks and Esther Nelson, University of Minnesota; Marguerite De Shon, Bradley Polytechnic; Florence Thorne, Stout Institute; Charlotte Davis, Anna Warren, Eileen Houlahan and Stella Pierce, University of Washington. The Home Economics Section of the Inland Empire Teachers' Association met in Spokane, Washington, April 18, 19, and 20, Miss Dorothy Shank presiding. This organization brings together the teachers from the four northwest states, Montana, Idaho, Washington, and Oregon. The following subjects were presented. Review of recent Home Economics textbooks, Anna L. Post; How to avoid repetition in elementary, high school, and college courses, Agnes H. Craig; Discussion, Grace G. Denny and Chloe Clark. The officers for next year are: Chairman, Grace G. Denny; Secretary and Treasurer, Miss Ford. A conference of the Washington State Association was held in connection with this meeting. The program was as follows: The social life of the girl as influenced by Home Economics training, Mary F. Rausch; The hot lunch as conducted by Cheney Normal, Mrs. Anderson; Extension work in Home Economics, Elizabeth Jones. The teachers of the west side of the state held a conference in Everett a week later. Miss Raitt, the president, conducted an informal discussion on the use of the practice cottage, the school apartment and the girl's own home in Home Economics teaching, and on the contribution of Home Economics teaching to the home. The Washington Home Economics Association met with the Washington Educational Association in Spokane in October, with the following program: Morning Session. Home Economics in the high schools, from the superintendent's point of view, Supt. I. C. Pratt, Spokane; Discussion; The Home Economics teacher's contribution to extension work, W. S. Thormber, Director of Extension Division, Washington State College; Discussion. Afternoon Session. Report of Committee on Length of Period for Home Economics Work, Agnes H. Craig, Head of Home Economics Department, Washington State College; Report of Committee on School Lunches, Mrs. Anderson, State Normal School, Cheney. The University of Kentucky. Not only Kentucky, but all who are interested in Home Economics anywhere, will rejoice in this letter from Miss Mary E. Sweeney, Dean of the College. "May I tell you of something that is making very happy everybody connected with Home Eccotics & Lestudy? The Univerity of Kentucky has made of Home Buxazia, fomedy a depannent of the College of Apicion, a vicinating of lege of the Univerity of equal na vit angry and arts, and science. Is down here this is a great step forward and we think it presages a great arakening in the secondary schools of the state and a valization on the part of all women of the high character of their profession of homemaker and mother. "The Federation of Women's Clubs took an active part in bringing about the change and have in every possible way lent their infrence and support to the movement. Their influence and interest in the future will prove a great factor in the future development of the college." The State Normal School of Harrisonburg, Va., reports that the interest in domestic science work has grown to such an extent as to require additional instructors, courses, and equipment. This year nine new courses have been added, such as House Planning, House Furnishing and Decoration, Institutional Cookery and Catering, Institutional Management, Household Bacteriology, and others. The new instructors are Miss Hannah Corbett, B.S., Teachers College, Columbia University; Mrs. Pearl Moody, B.S., George Peabody College for Teachers; Miss Gertrude Button, B.S., Cornell University. The head of the department is Miss Frances Sale, B.S., Teachers College, Columbia University, who has been with the school since its beginning seven years ago. The Agricultural High School in connection with the University of Nebraska has suffered from a condition existing in similar high schools, that is, requiring that the student carry six, seven, or more studies at the same time. A revision of the course has been made, grouping the work in such a way that the number of subjects has been reduced to five. Correspondence with other technical and agricultural high schools reveals the fact that the sequence of the sci ences and the appled subjects is a moch mooted question. The teachers of sciences wish to teach them to juices and seniors and the teachers of the applied sciences wish to have science taught early enough to be of value in their work. The sequence of science and food study which has been fairly satisfactory in the Nebraska Agricultural High School # be coctioned. It is: Freshmen year, physiology and hygiene: sophomore year, chemistry, food study, and physical geography one-half year; junior year, advanced food study, botany, and physics. Canadian Short Courses in Home Economics. The Ontario Agricultural College can not accommodate all who wish to come to Macdonald Institute for Home Economics training, and many desire Home Economics training who can not be spared from home. The college, therefore, is extending the usefulness of Macdonald Institute by opening branches here and there in such communities as are willing and able to cooperate. The Ontario Agricultural College is prepared: To open a Macdonald Institute Branch provided at least 20 students agree to take the course. To provide the necessary class rooms and equip them with stoves, tables, sewing machines, etc. To provide and pay a satisfactory teacher, who will be a member of the regular Macdonald Institute staff. To maintain the work of the school. To give 24 students a short course in domestic science with a choice of two elective subjects-the same as the short course given in Guelph. To give either a 12 weeks' course five days a week, or a 20 weeks' course 3 days a week. To hold an examination at the end of the course for any who wish to try it. Those passing would be eligible to enter the second term of The Homemakers Course in Guelph. The subjects prescribed with the number of periods per week, are as follows: Plain |
