PRACTICE OpEH TO
WOMEN STUDENTS
AT u. 4. c,

In order that women students in
the vocational courses at the Utah
Agricultural College may get full
benefit of practice in home training
special arrangements have been
made to open the U. A. c. Practice
Home to them during the first six
weeks of the winter quarter which
begins November 20. This decision
was reached following conference
of President Peterson, director A. II.
Saxer of the school OF home econom-
les and Prof. Amy Lyman Merrill,
in charge of the practice home.
Under this arrangement six voca-
final students will be allowed men,
bership in the ractlce Home course.
These students will live at the home
for period of six weeks. During
this time each girl will have respon-
sibility for a definite division of the
work for one week. As there are
six distinct positions, each girl will
have an opportunity to do every type
OF work found In the modern home.
The position the girls fill areas fol-
lows: Hostess, cook, assistant cook,
waitress, housekeepec and assistant
housekeeper. The hostess acts as a
house mother, is responsible for all
money collected except that used to
buy food and looks after the general
running OF the home. The cook plans
all meals and buys all food. The
housekeeper has part charge OF the
practice home baby.
The practice home Is a real family
unit Actual family conditions pre-
vail. This makes the training re-
ceiyed very practical. Applications
for membership in the special voca-
tional class, should be made immedi-
ately. All letters should be address
ed to rof. Amy l.. Merrill, Utah Ag-
ricultural College, Logan, Utah.
