at the university farm at Lincoln. The

Ing. The noon luncheon of the school
children in the country afforded ar in
teresting topic. That the children bring
the ingredients and under direction of the
teacher prepare soup and other simple
nourishing foods, thus relieving the busy
mother of preparing a basket luncheon
and at the same time affordtng the open
ing wedge for the teachin of domestic
science in the rural schools, was a plan
that met with general approval. Miss
Anna L. Barbee, county superintendent of
Christian county, Illinois, offered a course
of twenty-five lessons in domestic science
that has been proven successful in Illi-

important things from ventilation and
sanitation to the preparation of simple
foods and also met the approval of the
women.
The need of organization for social and
intellectual Improvement was discussed
and the woman's club or the auxiliary to
the farmers institute was conceded the
feasible plan. Several auxiliaries exist In
the state at present and these are working
along the lines followed by the domestis
science clubs of the states. IS
