WORK IS PRACTICAL

The Short Course this year provides
special valuable courses for women
who can come to Columbia for two
weeks as well as those who can come
Tor the full term. The work is diyid-
ed into two-week units and anyone
may enter any two weeks for the
course that she is most interested in
or has the most need for.
During the first two weeks classes
will be conducted in use of fruit and
vegetables; meat, poultry and fish;
making of night gowns, bungalow
aprons, simple wash dresses and un-
derskirts. These will be taught from
October q until November s.
The second two weeks will be de-
voted to starchy foods and cereals; use
of fat, pastry and salads; making of
any article of underwear to be chosen;
and the use of dress form and making
of wool dresses. This course will end
November %.
During the third period classes will
be conducted on use of eggs, milk and
cheese; breads; making of underskirts
or childs dress; and the use of dress
form and making wool dresses will
be continued. This course is conclud-
ed on December 6.
On December courses in candies
and desserts; fancy breads and cake;
wash dress; and the making of a hat
will be given. These will last until
December 10.
May Give Other Courses.
In addition, Miss Louise Stanley,
head of the home economics depart
ment of the University, who is in
charge of the women's division of the
Short Course, says if any ten women
ask that some other course be given a
class will be formed.
The idea she states is that practical
work will be given to fit the practical
needs of the women and girls who
come to take the Short Course. The
two weeks idea was instituted with
the intention of making it possible for
women with families and other care
who cannot come away for the full
period to come and take the course
that more nearly fits their needs in a
short time.
Offer DreSSmaking Course.
Trade dressmaking and trade milli-
merry will also be given as courses.
This course was designed to fit young
women who have to stay at home
to earn some spending money while
in the home. Orders now in the hands
of the home economics department are
given to those who wish to earn part
of their expenses. Some of these or
ders are from department stores in
town which are willing to pay for lit
tie nick-nacks to sell at Christmas
time.
These courses are especially open
to the women and girls of Columbia
and Boone County. They are urged
to come and bring whatever special
problem they are confronted with in
their home for the professors in the
Short Course to solve. All sorts of
things can be submitted to Miss Stan
ley from how to take an ink spot or
blood stain from handkerchief to
what color combinations look best
with your complexion.
VIII Teach Housekeeping.
The food courses will be made prac-
tical by courses in which the women
make their own lunches and meals.
The home economics practice houses
are open to them. There they Will
learn practical application of house
keeping and courses in even laundry
ing will be taught.
Over five hundred circulars have
been sent out to people who 1t Is
supposed will be interested in such a
course.
Miss Stanley urges especially that
the women and girls of Columbia VINO
are not now in school, who are either
married or getting ready to be, girls
