= o = THE QUIVER W. R. Challoner University of Wisconsin (Extension) Earl D. Hay R.S., M.S. Rose Polytechnic Institute University of Wisconsin University of Indiana Home Economics Every department has been brought to a fuller realization of its importance in the political, social, or economic world because of the present war. In none, however, has this realization been greater than in Home Economics. The present demand and the high cost of the necessities of life make it absolutely necessary that we live scientifically. The fundamentals of life are food, shelter, and clothing. It is under the guidance of Mrs. Bolinger, in the department of Home Economics, that the proper principles and standards of these fundamentals are being developed. The young women who take this course are able to sense deeply what it means to Keep the Home Fires Burning.” Mrs. Grace Baker Bolincer B.S. Lewi InMitute, Chicago Paue 25

— Q — THE QUIVER Industrial Arts This department has lately passed its fifth birthday anniversary. Though its life has been quiet and uneventful so far. nevertheless it has been a busy one. One does not have to be an “old grad.” to remember the establishment of the department on a firm basis in 1912, the outgrowth of the older manual training course. In the fall of 1913 the department was installed in its new quarters. From that date on its prosperity began. Even this year, when the draft and the industrial demands have made heavy inroads on the enrollment of all educational institutions, the department has nearly held its own. Up to January, 1918, it has graduated one hundred and nine students. Many are filling high positions in the teaching profession and also in commercial lines. Its graduates are to be found in sixteen states of the Union and in Porto Rico. When the department celebrates its tenth anniversary, may its record be as excellent a one and its growth as healthy as during the past five years. l Hans W. Schmidt Frank M. Karnes A.R.

THE QUIVER Physical Education Gymnastics in the Norma! School has always been a subject which has appealed to the majority of the student body. It has developed into one of the largest departments of the school through its extensive practical and theoretical work. The practical work for the young women includes free standing gymnastics, games, and folk dancing. The theoretical work includes lectures on postures, value of physical training, its place in the school curriculum, and elementary treatment of emergencies. Emphasis is laid on observation of Training School Classes. School room conditions are assumed and work to suit these conditions is given. The vital points underlying the teaching and presentation of the subject arc put forth in this course by the two excellent instructors. Miss Lane and Miss Hyde, who conduct the classes for the young women. Self-development through athletic training in gymnastics and apparatus work is stimulated by work with Mr. Meyer, who has charge of the young men. He has established a system of gymnastics and athletics which reaches every man in school. Our athletic teams are under his coaching. Mabel W. Lane Marie Hyoe Wellesley College, State Normal School.
