tute, which is to be held on Feb. Is, l9,
90 under the auspice of the University
Extension Division and the business
men of Mineral Point, will bring TO the
community a number of speakers and
demonstrators who will be, perhaps
the best the community had had the
opportunity to hear The Domestic
Science lectures and demonstrations
will be largely in the hands of women
from the Domestic Science Department
of the University. These women have
had a great deal of experience in bring
ing the household science to the people
in such a way as to make them intense
ly practical. The women who will APP
pear on the program in Domestic
Science are Miss G. Nj. Eckhardt, Miss
M. NJ Bunnell, and Miss A. Turner.
Miss G. NJ. Eckhardt, Instructor in
Home Economics, the University of
Wisconsin, has been secured on the
program and she will here as elsewhere
very probably give a greatest satisfac-
ton in her discussions which pertain to
household textiles and dress.
Miss NJ NJ. Bunnell, Instructor in
Home Economics, the University of
Wisconsin, is we'll known for her good
advice in care OF the sick, and labor
saving devices.
Miss Turner, who is also connected
with the University has many things to
offer by way of information on textiles.
Miss Turner, has had remarkable sue
cess in her work in the Community In
stitute few days ago at Amery, Wis.
Mr.. j. T. Donaghey, c. l. State High
way Commission, will be present dur
ing the Institute to discuss matters pre-
tanning to Highways. Very probably
some of the points under discussion in
this community will be discussed to an
advantage.
The whole idea of the Domestic
Science program is TO adapt the best
methods that are known at present to
the possibilities and to the conditions
under which the rural housewife works.
They have always been popular where
community institutes have been held
and for this reason the community of
Mineral Point should not miss the OPP
portunity it presents.
The farmer of today is growing to
feel more and more the need of the best
means of crop growing and the latest
ideas in stock raising. For economic
reasons alone it is worth while for
them to get all the ideas they can that
will help in the improvement of condi-
tions on the farm. The University Ex-
tension Division has done everything it
can to secure for Mineral Point the
very best speakers available.
Mr.. c. E. Beekley, who has recently
been connected with the Department of
Agriculture of the state of Ohio, has
been secured for the Mineral Point
program. He is man well fitted to
speak upon most any farm problem.
For three years he was a successful
farmers institute conductor in the state
of Ohio and recently was offered a
handsome salary to remain with them
but preferred to come to Wisconsin
instead He has been for a number of
years a practical farmer and will be
able to offer many suggestions that
will be of value to the farmer in this
community.
Mr.. Dwight H. Perkin, of Perkins,
Fellow and Hamilton, Architects, Chi
cago, has been secured to deal with the
welfare of the boys and girls of this
community. He has been the man in
Chicago who has done so much to
make the different districts of Chicago
good place to rear boys and girls
His subject will deal with practical
things that can be done to make the
community morals and health better
and thus develop better manhood and
womanhood.
MIR. j. G. Voss of Elkhorn, Wiscon
sin, was secured with some difficulty
to take up the subject of the Dairy
Cow This is very important subject
in this community and should be met
with by very large audience.
1t is rapidly becoming known that
the problems of sanitation on the farm
are just as important as any other farm
problems. To deal with this question,
the University has secured MIR. 6. f.
Bascom, sanitary engineer of prac
teal experience, who has been very
successful in business before he he was
secured by the University. The com
munity of Mineral Point will find that
his work is practical Since he has
come to the University ne has coun
seled quite a large number of muniei
palities of this state concerning sanitary
