Picture (25x22, 163 bytes)The share of the work allotted to the Domestic Science girls at the time of the Fair was the preparation and serving of the supper. Each one was given some special work, and the girls are to be congratulated on their success.
The following menu was served: Mashed potatoes, Roast pork, Apple sauce, Cabbage salad, Brown bread, White bread, Pickles, Jelly, Coffee, Ice cream, Cake.
At a recent session of the Board of Regents, matters of special interest to our school were considered and adopted. Those dealing especially with the Arts and Science work are:
Two Years' and Three Years' Courses in Domestic Science and Art have been established, the Two Years' Course giving special training in Domestic Science and Art; while the Three Years' Course is planned to give advanced training in either Domestic Science or Domestic Art, and additional work in the so-called cultural subjects, enabling graduates to fit more admirably into the larger High Schools in which these lines are taught and to teach one or two more Academic lines in the smaller High Schools.
Also, provision has been made for a One Year and a Two Years' Course for students whose purpose is not to teach, but to secure that advanced training which will enable them to meet the responsibilities imposed by the care of a home in its largest significance; that training which qualifies them to make the home comfortable, sanitary, and beautiful. In the One Year Course for Homemakers, the opportunity is offered to take enough Science to give a definite basis for practice; while in the Two Years' Course for Homemakers opportunity for more advanced work along these lines is offered. All High School graduates may enter these courses, the tuition of which will be fixed at a later meeting of the board.
These New Courses become operative and effective at the beginning of the next school year, September 1912.
