Not that any sickness is expected in
TINS new building that is built on SAN
itary plans, but in case it should come
provision is made for it.
The girls social and moral welfare
WIN De looked after. A matron is em-
ployed VINO makes this her sole BUSH
ness Each girl when she takes a room
consents to the government which is
Tor her best interest individually and
the dormitory residents collectively
ttours are set apart when all study.
recreation hours are also arranged for
when all are expected to take part in
some enjoyable recreation. A large
recreation hall with piano is provided
When girls want to go out to spend
the evening they must get permission
from the matron and must make
known where they desire to go. with
whom and when they expect to return.
So that the matron knows where they
are all the time and with whom and
when they will return. 1t is sometimes
embarrassing to receive a telegram or
telephone message from home and not
know where to find the person address,
ed. Likewise by knowing just where
the girl is and having a record Of her
evenings" out her parents may at any
time learn OF the way the daughter
spends her time-but better still-the
protection to the girl cannot be over
estimated. Any girl who will not abide
by these rules, cannot remain at the
dormitory. This insures only good in
fuence When party Of girls wish to
go out together they may be accom-
panied by suitable chaperon who will
be responsible for their conduct.
In the New Ceres Hall,
Ceres Hall, the new woman's build
Ing, has in addition to the home econ
omics department. domestic science and
sewing, dormitory for the girls and
the college commons where the BOYS
and girls will take their meals. which
will be furnished at SO per week. In
the dining room the plan is to hold to
the family idea, each table will seat
eight and each student win take his
turn at serving and extending the
courtesies that make the family table
different from that in the hotel or res
taurant.
The charge for rooms is but so cents
a week, ridiculously low. Each room
contains two single beds, two closets,
study table, dresser, chairs, etc. The
girls are expected to bring their own
bed linen and towels. Sheets "a inches
wide will be wide enough. The pillows
are 23x2S inches. The rooms are steam
heated and electric lighted. The heat
s regulated by an automatic thermom- |
ster SO that 1t will always be con-
slant.
A steam laundry is maintained In |
Ceres Hall and the charge for this |
work will be nominal. AS a time saver |
Ind safety measure this is a splendid |
addition. II a laundry room was to be |
provided where any one who wished /
could do her laundry there would be
LANCER from fire by some one being /
'areless in not turning off the gas or |
he electricity. Each girl will need a /
aundry bag with her name in full on
and her clothes should have her
lame plainly witten on them so as to
i'd the laundress in accurate delivery
f garments.
So many parents think that their
sirls will have no oversight in a state /
ehool. This is wrong as will be seen
rom the above, as the moral and social
Welfare of the girl is looked after by a
ompetent person who makes that her
ole business and their physical well
are is likewise looked after by a COM
etent person who makes that her sole
york. In addition to that the regular
abits as to eating, working and sleep
ne will be good training. Such are
he opportunities now placed at the
isposal Of North Dasota's daughters.
t is here that many lifelong friend
hips will be made. 1t is here that the
iri viii spend four years of pleasure
nd profit.
