Domestic Science Department It is the duty of every wife and mother, and it should be her joy and pleasure, to nurse, clothe and feed her family. But alas, how many mothers feel that these duties are a burden, that they are tiresome tasks which are never done. It is usually not the tasks themselves, but the way in which they are done that makes drudgery. It is the wasted time and the unsystematic method that tires one. It is the unattractive clothes, the poorly prepared food, the disorderly room, and the un- happy family that discourage the mother. It is the opportunity of every girl as she goes out into the world to show that these duties may be a pleasure, that they can be done easily and economically. It is her privilege to prove that home can be a foretaste of heaven, a place where discord and strife, anxiety and dis- satisfaction, cannot enter; a place where joy and peace abide and where love reigns supreme. It is to prepare our girls to accomplish this great work that our Domestic Science Department exists. This department, which was es- tablished two years ago, has steadily grown in size and efficiency. During the past year several marked improvements have been made. New dishes and silver ware for table use have been purchased, electric grills and an electric range have been installed, besides a number of smaller improvements which have been added. The head of the department, Mrs. Jean Fortenbacher, is a gradu- ate of the Thomas Normal Training School of Detroit, Michigan. She also spent two years in Western College of Oxford, Ohio, and one sum- mer in the University of Chicago. She has had several years of success- ful experience as a teacher. She is deeply interested in her work, but is never too busy to think of others. Her students find in her not only a competent instructor and a patient guide, but also a cheerful com- panion and a sympathetic friend. — INES MILES.
