Statistics have been collected among
university women graduates. 1t has
been found that among 1856 graduates
from the department of home econom-
les at K. u, only one of those who
have subsequently married, has been
divorced. Other universities show the
same absence of divorces, and the sta
tistics gathered by the Purdue Expo
nent show that this course appears to
be instrumental in turning the minds
of the students to the work of home
making. The home ecoqomics depart
ments of the Colorado Purdue. Penn
sylvania, Wisconsin and North Da-
kota, have among their graduates nc
women whose marriages have been
failures-at least they have not been
pronounced failures by the courts.
