one OF the principal speakers before the
model kitchen Of the Corn Show, who.
under the auspices Of the domestic science
department Of the club gave q general
talk on home making and the origin Of
its teaching in schools and colleges. Mrs.
Jones prefers that II be called home max
ing rather than domestic science or do
nestle arts, for, she contends, II includes
both these VhinEB and 80 many other
things that home making" is the only
name that covers the subject. Domestic
economy began" Mrs. Jones said. back IN
the Garden OF Eden. when Mother Eve
handed something to eat TO the man who
had been placed in her care and later
when Sarah baked cakes on the hearth.
And then she gave an interesting history
Of domestic science in the schools from its
beginning AT Mount Holyoke, back in the
early forties when Mary Lyons demanded
TO know why girls should not bs educated
in the things thar would help them in
their life work just the same as men
were. Catherine Beecher and her sister,
Harriet Beecher Stowe. were the next in
