Very complete educational exhibits are being prepared by the various depart- ments for the benefit of the agricultural students and also the farmers who visit the College to attend the various conferences that are held throughout the year. The home economics laboratories for cooking, sewing and millinery are thoroughly equipped with the most modern appliances for instruction in these various branches of work. The cooking laboratory includes ranges for gas, electricity, oil and wood and coal, so that the girls who take up the vocation of teaching will be properly fitted to give a thorough course of training in domestic science with the use of any one of these fuels. The sewing labora- tory is fitted with sewing and drafting tables, ironing boards, irons and several types of sewing machines. The costume fitting room is equipped with a full length triplicate mirror and space for hanging all garments in the process of making. The millinery laboratory is equipped with low tables and complete apparatus for dampening and shaping hat foundations, and for steaming, reno- vating and pressing hat materials. The large demonstration laboratory and lecture room is equipped with a gas range and sink for cooking demonstrations. A lantern is also provided for illustrated lectures on the various phases of household management. This room is furnished with raised seats to accom- modate 100 students. The greatest demand for agricultural graduates at the present time is on the farm or ranch where it is possible for them to use their education to the greatest benefit. Many agricultural graduates from Nevada are now success- fully operating farms or ranches in the irrigated sections of the West. v mi m9micmii Si r ir f i!irmvny- ' ts- Yjri, ' r SF .:a7 ■ y ' r 7r7: .7. ig??ss CT°:agia ggg ws aTCM t i;a5; 19

z Agricultural and Home Economics Teachers are now in demand for the high schools of Nevada and in many Western States. This demand has increased with the introduction of these branches of instruction in the high schools in accordance with the recent Smith-Hughes Act. It is expected that a large number of students in both agriculture and home economics will follow the special training offered in our College of Agriculture for the training of teachers in agriculture and home economics. A vast army of specialists in agriculture and home economics are carry- ing on the very important work of the Agricultural Extension Divisions in the various states, including the work of county agents and specialists. A number of our graduates are now connected with the Agricultural Extension work in the West. This field of work offers excellent opportunities to the graduate who has more or less experience. Another important field for the graduate is that of the specialist, includ- mg dietetics, dairy manufacture, grain inspection, plant diseases, poultry hus- bandry, farm management and marketing. A few of our graduates have been trained as specialists in some one of these branches of work. At the present time many positions are open for certain specialists, and our College of Agriculture is prepared to give the student a thorough training in a number of these subjects. Dean Charles S. Knight ■ j.mi. 2fe 20
