C fllfiiii f I took Carpentry, Blacksmithing and Drill, the girls were required to take Physical , E ,QA Culture, Social Culture, Cooking, Home Management, Household Art, Sewing, Home qi l 5 Economy, and Domestic Hygiene. In the basement of the Home Building class rooms ggi were equipped for the Home Economics subjects. The Horticulture building was 5555. TQ opened in 1'900. This well equipped plant laboratory, adjacent to the greenhouse, in 'J 13 gave the boys and girls excellent opportunities to learn how plants grow. WS: In those days groups of girls had to set their alarms for 4:30 in the morning. but They had to be in the Dairy Hall in time to take their lesson in dairying and to lfgff in wash the milk pails and separators before breakfast, which was served at seven gg: 3. o'clock. Each group had to do this for two weeks at a time. Q31 Egg Blacksmithing and Carpentry were not required of girls, but some of them ,611 persuaded Professor Drew to let them take a few lessons in Blacksmithing, and 'ggi no after much hard work they evolved something by courtesy called a barn door hook, but which really looked more like a warped skewer. A few of the girls even iii? .61 aspired to painting barns. ,WJ .. There was a large enrollment of boys. They were not overjoyed at the idea 'REI ,A of welcoming girls to the School of Agriculture, and at first it was very hard for Q them to be sociable. The boys enjoyed playing pranks on the girls. One Hallowe'en Mfg, 1 night they moved from the cattle barn a large sign which had been put up to keep iff: folks from disturbing some animals used in an experiment. VVhen the girls went to 5, breakfast the next morning they found their Dormitory labeled, Please do not EQ: ZS, disturb these animals. A 150 The School was especially fortunate in having such a Woman as Mrs. Virginia and Q1 at Meredith as Preceptress. Mrs. Meredith was a woman of refinement and culture, and yet a practical farm woman. She had a great faith in co-education in the ,Q School of Agriculture and it was she who had to lay the foundation of the course for the girls. 1321 1 ww Miss Juanita L. Sheppard may also be classed with the women who deserve O much credit for what was accomplished in the early days. In the summer of 1893 ffm, she taught Domestic Science during the short course. She was so well liked that ,ci they engaged her as instructor in Cooking and Laundering for the regular term, 361 QE a position which she filled most efhciently. - T0 'ic Mrs. Blair was also an instructor in the Summer School, and, when the girls 32.2 were admitted to the regular school, she was chosen as sewing instructor. Her aim ,332 5: was to teach the girls how to select colors, materials and styles, best adapted to my if Ugg! their individual types. Co-education brought about the greatest advancement of the School of Agricul- J' ture. This very popular State School is now giving to Minnesota every year many if thoroughly trained young men and women, ambitious to make Agriculture their ug, '- 5 life work and to become better citizens of this great state.
