NEW HOME ECONOMICS BUILDING OH STILLWATER CAMPUS
Stillwatti Okla.
Time v as not so long
made that Oklahoma was spending more on the n.uini of pigs than on
on the i eating ol clulren: that in the training ol students moro knowledge
was eiven about barns and livestock vens than about tlie home; and that
what training was given concerning

At Oklahoma A. and M. collage for example $110000 has Just been
expended in erecting a building to ho used exclusively for the school of

iciiools ol the country are considering
the Union to adopt the plan.
For the last three years a home-rankers cottage has been maintained
on the college campus but the cottage has been incomplete because there

Tho plan is that groups ot senior girls during a period of six weeks
io the group will make their home-makers' cottage their home doinpr
and studing the practical things that go .to make home makers. They'll
cook the meals make up the beds prepare baby's diet and make his
