BY its efforts libraries are established
and nurtured, until sentiment is
aroused which guarantees their per-
manence and surety. Parks and city
improvements receive a share of at
tention, and The public schools in most
of the small towns are closely in
touch with the club idea, being the re-
cipients of generous and timely dona-
tions of pictures. Thus the club in
the small town is sowing seed, which,
in time, shall take root in the tender
hearts of children and life will be-
come to them a garden of fragrance
ana beauty. | cannot conceive how
the influence of clubs in the small
towns, differs from that of the city,
save in limitation. In quality the aim
and purpose is the same, but in guam
tity the city possesses greater advan-
tage because of the wider field for ac-
tion. But in the broad domain of
clubdom, each has its specific place
and value, whether We point with
pride to the city club, with its various
departments, representing the intelli-
gence and endeavor of many hundreds
of earnest women-or turn with equal
pleasure and satisfaction to the club
which stands as the exponent of social
and intellectual life in the smaller
town.

Propram Committee Report.

1t is not possible for the program
committee to furnish more than a
skeleton of the plan for the OCTOBER
meeting. In the intervening time we
hope to so clothe the skeleton that we
may echo the statement of last year:
This is the best program given ps
the Nebraska federation
Meeting for the first time in the
northeastern part of the state, we are
especially fortunate in Wayne, the
place chosen for our annual session.
The clubs composing the Town Fed
Grafton of Wayne are enthusiastically
working on the plans for the entertain
ment of the federation.
Recognizing the excellence OF last
years program, the same general plan
will be again followed. There VIII DE
three business sessions-one lncludlhs
club reports, one evening given 10
reception, and two to special features
the remainder of the time will be de-
voted to the art, education, househoiu
economic and industrial sections.
The music committee will combine
its program with the four last NEIL
toned. Following the short business
session preceding each, fifteen minutes
will be given to music.
The art committee has decided upon
"a helpful conference on art topics.
The educational committee aims to
secure the best talent obtainapie'
building up a program having as CEN
tral thoughts child study and co-opera-
ton between parents and teachers. IL
is hoped that Superintendent Conn OF
Wayne, president Of the state leaen
ers' association, will take part.

Editor Courier:

Editor Courier:
AS was stated in your paper a few
weeks ago, meeting of the presidents
of women's clubs in Massachusetts
was called in December for the avOw
ed purpose, as was publicly announced,
of discussing the question, What the
small club can do fer the country
town"
Unfortunately for the country towns
and the small clubs, the women of
Massachusetts were too intensely en-
crossed with the perplexing color ques
ton, and not a word or thought was
given to the original text.
In lieu of their ultimatum, you now
ask, What of the club in the small
town." | would answer, that just in
proportion as the club in the city is
creating an interest i'll all that per-
tains to the social and intellectual de-
yelOpment of it's members, so in the
small town. All who come in contact
with the genial atmosphere of club life
feel the uplifting influence which ra-
dates therefrom, and become loyal and
devoted adherents to the cause. 1t is
true that this leaven which agitates
the mass and purifies the various stra-
ia of society is no idle fancy of the
women of our land, but results from a
desire to avail themselves of the ben
efits to be derived from intelligent in
tercourse with one another.
BY this broader outlook upon life
we escape from the arrogant presump-
ton and petty selfishness which too
often takes possession of our being
and of all things an extremely selfish
club woman is least desirable.
In the small town the woman's club
is one of it's most important features.
The public sentiment which it creates
is always for the betterment of society.

,ro sure of the interest and apprecia-
tion Of an audience.
The mother of today, who is worthy
the name, knows something of the per-
sonality Of the teacher who has charge
of her child. Something Of that teach
er's influence upon her pupils, and
something, too, of the new methods
which are employed for the presenta-
lion of old truths. With still better
knowledge would disappear much of
the senseless antagonism, on the part
of the patrons, which has attended al
most every departure from old meth
ods On the other hand, there has
been in the recent past perhaps ten
dercy of the teaching world to discard
rho old for the new, because it was
new, and not because it showed real
scientific advancement over the old
methods. Most teachers now realize
this. They also realize that which
makes the modern teacher welcome,
the questioning into her methods
which her predecessors would have
felt a disagreeable meddling. They
realize that they are engaged in help
ing to make citizens for the commun-
ity and that it is the right and duty of
hat community to sit as judge upon
the product which they are turning
ont Surely with this feeling existing
nctween the school and the home, with
a common ground for meeting such as
these patrons' meetings afford, many
of the obstacles to advancement may
be removed.
Americans are accused of making too
much of their children. In its better
sense we might well be proud OF such
an accusation.
The children should lie the center OF
our lives. the center of our thoughts.
Is not ours the responsibility OF hay
ing evoked froIn "senseless nothing

Our sense of ego is SO great that 1t Is
difficult for us to realize that what Is
true of The lower order of life upon the
earth is also true Of man, and that AIS
mission here is to bring forth and rear
his kind. The better this woik De

Our honored president. in her econ
omical, but still rich little leafiet. has
impressed upon the club women of
our state the present opportunity for
club extension and has introduced to
them the committee recently appointed
to advance the work.
The plan of procedure divides itself
naturally into three parts; first. the
democratic increasing of the member
ship of existing clubs; second, the for
nation of new societies among very
young ladies who often find more
pleasure and greater profit in a club
OF their own; and, third, the organiza-
ton of new clubs in untried communi-
ties. This last division offers the most
beneficent returns, and also requires
the most painstaking effort.

Domestic Economics at the University.
(By Prof. Rosa BOuton.)

tBy PrOf. Rosa BOutOn.)
There is a small room on the first
floor of Mechanic Arts building at the
state university about which there is
a peculiar fascination. The odors
which issue from it are quite unlike
those of the chemical laboratory and
appear to have a certain attractive
power. IL one follows his inclination
and enters the room he will find what
appears to be cross between a chem
ical laboratory and a kitchen. 1t is the
kitchen-labOratOry of the domestic
science department of the university.
Here are two long tables arranged
thus: T. At these tables there are
places for sixteen students to work at
one time. Each is supplied with indi-
vidual cooking utensils, which are kept
in the drawers of the tables. On a
small gas burner with tripod, which
serves as a stove for cooking small
portions of food. When large amounts
dIc W Dt NoohVu. vi 10 uohNs
the gas range is used At the sides of
the room are cases in which are kept
food materials, cooking utensils for
general use and dishes for serving. In
one corner of the room is the refriger-
ator, in another the porcelain lined
sink, with drain board at the left, near
by is the gas range with thermometer
in the oven door. There is also an
Alauin oven used for cooking food at
comparatively low temperature. Clean
illness, order and system are first prin
ciples in this department. While en-
gagged in cooking the girls wear white
aprons, caps and sleeves. After the
cooking is done, each girl washes her
own dishes and puts her portion of the
table in order before leaving the rom.
1ne first year, general work in cook
ing is given, including the preparation
of all kinds of common foods, such as
the making of soups, the cooking of
cereals, vegetables and meats, the
making and baking of various kinds
of bread, while some attention is Civ
en- to salads, cakes, pastry and other
desserts.
ine second year a study is made of
the preservation of food. Fruits are
canned, picked and preserved, and jel-
ly is made. More attention is paid to
fancy cooking. Meals are planned,
prepared and served, and a course in
invalid cooking is given. The work is
done by the lecture laboratory meth
cd. Three hours lectures and six hours
laboratory work each week. The lee
lures include, first, detailed directions
for laboratory work; second, discus

sent history of the state industrial
institutions, together with paper on
Courts for Juvenile Offenders and
Parental Schools"
The household economic committee
will leave the details of its program
largely until the spring meeting of the
state household economic association.
The chairman is also president of this
association. Mrs. w. +. Fischel of
st. Louis may be one of the speakers.
A stereOpticon lecture on Town and
City improvement" is in prospect; the
views showing towns both before"
and after" improvement. The lecture
will give practical suggestions as to
beautifying Nebraska towns and cit
les. Miss Margaret Mccarthy will
speak on What to Study" 1t is ex-
pected Mrs. Hutchinson, president of
the Iowa federation, will be present,
and We are almost confident of secur-
ing another well-known speaker.
There will be more than the usual
amount of business. In addition to
routine business, election of officers
and delegates to the next biennial" :"
and general revision of the constItu-
tiOn will be discussed; also the plans
for memorial from club women out
lined by the recent Louisiana Pur-
chase conference and the question of
admitting cOlOred wOmen's clubs to
the general federation.
The ideas controlling the program
are cooperation of the federation with
other organizations, agencies and in
dividuals having a common purpose,
and fewer or shorter papers and ad-
dresses, leaving more time for discus
sion. The program will be issued in
time for the clubs to become familiar
with it's det"ils
Feeling lie value of closer associa-
tion promoted by our federation con-
ferences and positive of an interesting
program We earnestly urge all clubs
to recognize Wayne's hospitality by
sending a large representation.

sions concerning the ;.ture. compost
tion and manufacture of food mater
ials: third. a consideration of both the
money and nutritive value OF foods
with a study of standard dietaries
Readings are also assigne. and notes
on the same required. The students
take both lecture and laboratory notes.
Special attention is given to the
economy of food materials. Many nu-
tritious, palatable and attractive dishes
are prepared from left-overs an. the
cheaper cuts of meat. A study Is also
made of the economy of time and
strength. There are stools In the
kitchen and the girls are encouraged
to use them. They learn that by care
fully planning and systematizing their
work much time and strength may be
saved.
Not only the how" but the why"
and the wherefore" are studied. II is
the purpose of those in charge of the
department to teach the students to
think as well as to cook, to train ,he
mind as well as the hand.
In addition to the work as outlined
above there is two-hour lecture
course in household economics, which
has been given this year for the first
time. In this course a study is made
of the planning and furnishing of a
house, the problems of heating. light
ing and ventilation and of the water
supply and drainage system.
The domestic service problem"
the cost of living of different classes
of people" division of income" and
kindred topics are considered. Some
very interesting and valuable papers
have been handed in by students TAX
ing this work. No text book is used,
but reference books and journals are
faithfully searched. Much valuable
information on the subjects above
named has been collected by these stu
tory people will doubtless admit that
this work is done in accordance with
the source method" Visits have been
made to various places of interest for
the purpose of getting information
concerning these subjects. For exam
pie the Lincoln flour mills were Wis
tied, when bread was the subject of
study, and the university boiler house
when heating by steam was under con-
sideratiOn.
An extension course in cookery has
been given during the past winter to
ladies who were not regular univer-
sity students. The lectures were at
O'Clock on Saturday afternoons and the
laboratory work from until ) on the
same afternoon
The department is greatly in need
OF more room, considerable number
OF students having been turned away
the present semester because there
was no room to accommodate them.
The courses of instruction in the
school of domestic science include, be-
side the study of home science as out
lined above, subjects correlated with il
as botany, bacteriology, chemistry of
cooking and cleaning, hygiene, etc.
