ment to education than the Land
Grant Act of 1862. This Act provides
for a college In each State and Terri
tory. the leading object of which shall
be to teach such branches of learning
as are related TO agriculture and the
mechanic arts, without excluding,
however, other scientific and cassi-
cal studies. This lays the founda-
tion for practical courses of study
and emphasizes the principle that
men and women may be educated by
and for these practical subjects as
well as by the classics.
The College of Hawaii stands for
this broad and efficient basis for edu-
cation and has accordingly arranged
technical courses in Agriculture, Me-
chanic Arts, Household Economics, as
well us for General Science. Below
Is the synopsis of the course I'm House
hold Economics. Similar synopses OF
the other courses will be published
later:
The entrance requirements for
this course are of the same high
standard as those for the other
courses: that is, tho High School or
Oahu College diploma or it's cquiva-
lent. The course requires four years
for completion or the requirement of
$50 credits, credit being the equiv
alent of two and one-half hours In
recitation and its preparation or in
laboratory. Special students are pro-
vided for in subjects which they may
choose.
The conception of Household Eco
Monies may be held in two phases.
one pertaining to the sciences bear

tion OF food. raiment, and shelter, and
the other pertaining to the arts of
these necessities, and also to the de-
lineation of colors and forms In their
relations to our pleasures. At the
same time sufficient amount OF stud
les in the sciences, languages. and
mathematics Is introduced so rs to
give the students wcll-dcyeloped
course of training. During the first
year the courses in Drawing, Textiles
and Home Architecture appeal espe-
cially to the student of Household
Science and Art. The preliminary
drawing Is designed to give one q
knowledge of delineatiou of forms
and is good preparation for the
work In Home Architecture. That
there Is need for this subject Is at
tested by the fact that women are
often wearied of their work in the
home because they have to climb
awkward stairs to travel several
miles each day, looking after the
poorly arranged rooms. and often
their work embodies sufficient exer-
else, but this Is mitigated by poor
ventilation or poor sanitary condi-
lions. The course in Textiles Is de-
signed to cover the useful fibcrs used
in textile manufacture, their manu-
facture. care and handling, and spe-
ciiic uses.
In the second year the subjects of
Home Decoration, Art and Design
