Food C'o11servaiz'orz Courses Students co-operate with Mr. Hoover-Take up Three Courses in Food Administration-Propagate Patriotic Spirit. The three courses in Food Conservation outlined by the United States Food Administration were be- gun in compliance with an urgent request of the Gov- ernment that college women acquire the fundamental facts regarding the food situation, learn the nutri- tive values of the various foods, and, by this knowl- elge, help others as well as themselves to make the best possible use of all available foodstuffs. The majority of students carried this course in ad- dition to their regular scheduled classes. But the work was interesting, moreover, the very fact that the Administration asked for it made it a patriotic service, and patriotism gives the inspiration that al- ways helps the students to find time, interest, and en- thusiasm for any activity. ifld' A, ., 775. - -v 'V I- ' ,- '-- '- ..
