Wonan's Department.
It would be serious mistake to visit
the institute and fail to see the ex-
hibit on display in the woman's de-
partment. When visiting this section
it was advisable to bring an appetite
with you and you will find much that
is toothsome to satisfy your wants. No
end of bread, cakes and cookies, and
then. too, there Is butter of twenty-sfx
varieties, and 1t does not stop here.
Going toward the rear Of the room one
finds a modern kitchen, and presiding
over it is Miss G. Bowan of Ames, who
demonstrates in domestic science
Baking and cooking OF all kinds, az
we'll as discourses on the different
branches OF culinary science keeps THIS
lady quite busy and she fnds many IN
terested ladies' present to absorb the
things she teaches.
In another section of the same room
one finds something that Is Justly the
pride OF the rural districts, the work OF
the district school. Nor is 1t the old
fashioned district school, either. II is
tho contrary. Here one finds exhibits
Of school work that are very broad In
their scope and practical throughout.
Specimens of the school work are
neatly arranged on tables and on the
WALLS, covering nearly every branch OF
the work that can be displayed. 1t IN
cludes those features that the ad-
vanced urban schools teach, such IS
weaving OF baskets and mats. There
are also specimens OF needlecraft,
small hats woven Of suitable mater
ials and trimmed by the pupils. One
also finds pretty exhibit Of various
woods and seeds, drawing and map
work. In fact, nothing is overlooked,
and the execution is excellent.
The list Of exhibits of the women
and girls includes the following:
Bread-sixteen.
Cakes-thirteen
Cookies-seven.
Gingerbread-six.
Women's Department Prizes.
