THE SCHOOL OF DOMESTIC ECONOMY Domestic Economy is another of the courses which is growing in pop- ularity, and calling persistently for better equipment. Here the girls learn not only cooking and sewing, but how tc care for the house in every respect; also how to care for the sick, and prepare their food. They are taught how to manage the household as wiseely and as economically as possible — surely a profitable tiling. Besides the girls win; are specializing in Domestic Econ- omy, there are man)- from other schools who find Domestic Science or Domes- tic Art interesting and valuable elective subjects. They say the zi ay to a man ' s heart is by his stomach, therefore I stick to my D. S. — Viola Ameling. Page Twenty-six

THE SCHOOL OF LIBRARY SCIENCE Library Science is one of the newer fields for the specially trained student. Formerly it was thought that any book-lover would make a good librarian. But unlike the book-lover, who is commonly interested in only one class of books, the librarian must have a knowledge of, and an interest in, all sorts of reading matter. The ideal librarian knows literally Something about everything, and everything about something. Something in the latter case means the classification of books, and the ways of using them fur the convenience of the public. The librarian must be able to answer questions on any subject, from Where can ] get a bibliography of Egyptian Archeol- ogy, to What is the average length of life of a goose. Needless to say, the librarian must have also the ability to understand people, and to adapt herself to their needs. She must lie prepared in all ways to act as a helper f the people. The Library courses at Millikin include the History of Libraries, refer- ence work, children ' s work, cataloging, and the selecting and reviewing of books. I am fearfully and wonderfully made. — Page Twenty-eight Marguerite Potter.
