Prof. Roster then INTRODUCED the
Hon. o.5s. Mckinney, WHO in his
gracious manner thanked the. hosts
for the enjoyable occasion. He spoke
Of the time when lie was a member. Of
the board of Education when the
plans for. the High school building
we're being considered, Of how little
was known about the work ,of the
Domestic Art and Science depart
nlents at that time. He talked of the
changed conditions that have come in,
the homes and how these departments
step in and fill The gap that has been
made between the old and the modern
home life. How the things once
learned by the girls, from their moth
drs must now be learned in the
schools in these departments or the
girl Of the present day does not learn
tliem. These courses taught by the
Domestic Science and Domestic Art
departments supply the lack Of do
nlestic1 training in the homes. nsh'i
Following Mr.. Ncliinney's address
Prof. Roster called on Mr.. L. At. Da-
wis, manager of tile West virginiau.
Mr.. Davis responded in happy veins

tude in meeting with the Senior girls
and commended the work that is be-
ing done in this department.
The class was introduced to the
guests and short social time ensued.
The guests then made an inspection
Of the kitchen where the girls pre-:
pare their dclectable dishes and then

ment in the local schools.
