AGGIE GETS READY FOR
BEST AND BIGGEST YEAR
Some Things Being Done at Third District College
And What They Will
Mean

most practical method of milking and
churning will be demonstrated, and
in this course the students will learn
to cook the things "like mother used
to make"
1t is the plan and purpose of this
great institution to make the courses
thoroughly practical and useful, and
to this end teachers have been secur-
I ed who will train the students daily
in these most important branches of
home-making. The care and manage
ment of the household will be taught,
and should good fortune befall the
students after leaving school and it
does not become necessary for them
| to do the actual work connected with
well-equipped farm home, they
will be in position to oversee the
management of their household af-
fairs and know that everything is left
in perfect order.
1000 Cans In Storage.
Four thousand cans have been plac-
ed in the storage room of the college
for the purpose of putting up the
fall fruits. AS soon as the season is
at hand the abundant supply of pears
now coming to maturity on the row
of fine trees on the grounds will be
canned and preserved for winter use
in the dining room. Soups of all
kinds will be placed in other cans
and winter cabbage will be made into
pickles and chow-chow for the appe-
Tiers required for well-balanced
menu.
In still another large and well
equipped room of this administration
building will be placed Red Cross
trained nurse who will teach the stu
dents the fundamentals of home
nursing. This is a step in the right
direction, for under her able instruc-
ton the girls will be taught all the
essentials of home doctoring until a
physician can be secured.
Many of the home farms are To-
Gated several miles from resident
physician, and statistics show that
many lives are lost before the doctor
can be SUMMONED into a home where
sudden sickness prevails. This course
will comprise the measures to be tax
en- for the use of antidotes for poison
the use of a "frst-aid" kit; the
methods to be used in burns, scalds.
venomous bites and stings, and the
application of simple remedies for all
diseases.
This will enable the home-makers
to be in readiness for any emergency
which make arise, and to supply a
source of confidence in her power to
handle every difficulty as it presents
itself. This department will be under
the direction of Mrs. ]. E. Henson, a
woman well qualified to teach the es-
sentials of home nursing, home eco
Monies as pertaining to medicine, and
perfect physical training.
