Home Economics Department
Gives Practical Information
for Use in Home
From a handful of students in 1910 to an enrollment of nearly 400 in 1915-16 is the brief history of the department, which was enriched by its cession six years ago. Because of this rapid growth, new quarters, or at least an enlargement of the present quarters, seem necessary, as well as a larger equipment for the use of students.
A larger laboratory for textiles, a laboratory for the special research work that is being carried on, and a dining room for the purpose of teaching classes in serving as well as for general use, are needed.
The department uses gas entirely.
There are no electrical appliances, nor is there room to install a coal range. The water supply being the principles of cooking with fuel.
GAS USED ENTIRELY
One of the most practical features of the department is the model kitchen, which has three distinct advantages. It can be thrown open to the classroom by removing the folding partition between the rooms, it serves as an experimental kitchen and as a sink for dishwashing. The kitchen is artistic as well as sanitary and it affords the worker plenty of room. The department has little use for the cramped kitchenettes so popular with young house-keepers.
NOTHING BUT ALUMINUM
NOTHING BUT ALUMINUM
Aluminum ware is used almost entirely.
Aluminum oilcloth, a white marble slab for kitchen knives and jars for spices are a few of the little things that give the kitchen its immaculate appearance.
The pressure cooker is one of the interesting things to be found in the model kitchen. It was first invented for use in Denver where the high altitude interferes with cooking. The cooker is absolutely airtight. Twenty pounds of steam pressure produce a thick layer of which the cooks food in a very short time, while the fireless cooker uses a low temperature for a long time. In the pressure cooker, navy beans will cook in fifteen minutes.
The two food laboratories and the demonstration kitchen are equipped with thermometers and scales. The two food laboratories are also "hand-in-the-oven" method. Stu
dents are taught by the use of scales to weigh out all materials, which insures accuracy. The prophecy has been made that cook books in the fumarine were invented by weight rather than by the cup and spoon method of the past.

BIRD CLUB WILL SPEND
SATURDAY ON WAKARUSA
If you like birds and wish to know more about them, pack your lunch and go with the Bird Club Saturday for its first field meeting. It will take the 8:25 o'clock Santa Fe train to the Wakarusa to visit the birds in that valley and hear their habits explained by Prof. Herman Douthitt. The party will walk back to Haskell and take the car.
"Even though you are not especially interested in birds, you may have a longing for an outing Saturday. The Bird club," said Professor Douthitt. "I expect to return until afternoon so everyone is asked to bring a lunch."
Mrs. Louise Davis, of Downs, who has been visiting her son Donald, '18 College, since Friday, returned to Kansas City Wednesday.
Members of the class in sanitation and hygiene inspected the Lawrence water plant Tuesday afternoon and are afraid to drink Lawrence water.
