Home Economics Our Home Economics department is one of the best organized departments of its kind in the state. It confers not only a diploma for a three year course, but also a B. E. degree for a new course of four years. Many of our old graduates have returned for their fourth year of work which will enable them to obtain a degree; and many new students have enrolled in this course. The greater part of the upbuilding and success of our department we owe to the efficient leadership of Miss Allen, our director and friend. She is well fitted for her position both by her education and experience. To her we owe many of our ideals and standards for our work. Home Economics is one of the broadest fields of education open to the girl today. It is a comparatively new vocation, but in our school we have a well rounded course which aims to train students to become efficient Home Economics teachers.

Primary Department The Primary Department was organized for the express purpose of training girls to be teachers in the primary grades (consisting of grades one. two and three). The girls in this department are given a two year special course' in primary work in order that they will be able to handle the little folks with judicious care, and thus prepare the children for life's struggle. The primary teachers must be naturally adapted to this kind of work. During the past thirteen years, we have endeavored to give the primary teacher that urge which drives her to the desire to help develop to the utmost the capacities of the children. May each primary teacher go out with the spirit of the following poem: ‘Happy hearts and happy faces; Happy play on grassy places. This is how in ancient ages Children grew to kings and sages.
