LINDEN HALL Department of Home Economics The early establishment of a strong department of Domestic Science and Arts at Linden Hall Seminary was in harmony with the aims that this school has always kept uppermost, viz., to develop womanliness and make of its girls homeflovers and eflicient home' makers. The day has passed when it was necessary to dwell at length upon the need for adequate training and equipment of woman for the important duties of homefmaking and home-keeping. This course not only enables the one who has taken it to apply scientific knowledge and ready skill to her daily tasks in the home, but also serves to impress upon her the worth and value of accom' plishments which contribute to the comfort and health of a house' hold, so that she will no longer look upon household tasks as a form of drudgery. This department is most comfortably housed on the Hrst floor of the modern gymnasium building. The large kitchen' laboratory, sewing and lecture room, practice dining room, and practice laundry are equipped with all the appliances necessary to make the instruction practical and efficient.
