THE HOUSEHOLD ARTS DEPARTMENT UM lx M.iXKlNf.1 is a lwusinessfthe world's biggest lmusiness. lt is not a lmusiness for proht, but it is a business that is run for a definite pur- pose-the happiness and well-being of folks. The work of Household Arts is very wide in its scope, including' food principles, mealfplanning, and servingg the study of textiles, color, garment construction, and fundamental principles of costume design. X'X'e have long realized that we must know something almout food, shelter, clothing, and how to lie healthy, and we are now teaching almove all such knowledgeg we must also understand how to administer the funds that provide comfort of a home, and for this purpose we have dehnite prolmlems that we work oiit-s--lwiidgetiiig' for the hu-zincss woman and for the family. XYe try to teach the wise spends ing of an income. The accepted fact today' is that every housewife ought to lie as proficient in her realm as the business man is in his. Ks a man can not do good work without the lmest facilities and the most careful organization in his office, so the home-maker is handicapped unless her work shop is suitalmly 1-lanned and arranged. live teach our girls home-planning' with a definite View to economy. effi- ciency, and artistic arrangement. They learn the value of choosing a certain style in architecture and of furnishing' the interior in its proper relation. lffllf pliasis laid on the fact that color, light, pictures, pleasing' arrangement, and tonvenience plav an important part in the happiness and comfort of the individual. 18
