HOME ECONOMICS Home Economics deals with the activif ties that are centered around home life. An intensive study is made of personality, per' sonal hygiene, costume design, and the purf chase and construction of garments. Work in foods, dietetics and home management centers around nutrition, the preparation and serving of meals, family relationships, furnishing and managing a home and child care.

Photo Department English Department EDITORIAL Faster! Faster! said the Queen. 'Tasterl Don't try to talk, until at the end of the mad race under the apple tree Alice gasped, In our country you'd generally get somewhere else-if you ran very fast, for a long time, as we've been doingf' Unlike Alice and the Queen, however, we no longer are running under the apple tree, but speeding along pavements crissfcrossed with traffic signals. Transportation is easier and better and every day it is swifter. The motor car, the airplane, the bus, the commuters trains, even the extension of subways permit all classes to go farther and farther afield. Our capacity to produce goods changes faster than our capacity to purchase, employment does not keep pace with improvement in the machinery of production, the ability to construct buildings is greater than and can be done with more acceleraf tion than they can be rented. During the last half century, the science of invention has progressed rapidly as the result of American inventive genius. Data shows that manufacturers have done more-to improve -their products in the last two. years. than inthe whole decade from 1920 to 1930. It shows that more new products have been devised and more neglectf ed inventions have been put on a basis of actual production during these two years than at any similar period in all history. New inventions and greater speed of producf tion are the result of the increased rate of mental speed. It is because the average velocity of the mind is so great that the world, as a whole, is progressing so rapidly. There is no doubt but that this will continue to progress and perhaps at a still faster rate. New inventions will be introduced and possibly will lead to a new industry. . . . And, step by step, since time began, I see the steady gain of man. I14I
