bill it cannot W nuuk' fiillv wli.il it ouj;lit to be, owin<^ to a severe lack 

 of laboratory sj)ace. 



The nyfjiene studios embrace a course in Sanitary Science given to 

 the sophomore young ladies and Dietetics given to the junior young 

 ladies. 



Sanitary Science in its application to the home is what predominates 

 in the instruction, although frequently it becomes necessary to deviate 

 from this -woU defined i>alh to secure such information as will be useful 

 to women in their relation to the community. 



In the short time given to dietetics, it is only possible to present the 

 bare skeleton of facts upon which the science of dietetics clings. It is 

 to be dejtlored that a full term cannot be otTered to the junior young 

 ladies in this basic subject, for it takes them out of traditional methods 

 and beliefs into the field of science and truth. 



Besides the preceding regular work, this Department has had three 

 "short course" classes during the winter term. These were "Dairy 

 Bacteriology and Hygiene," "Farm Bacteriology and Hygiene" and 

 ''Cheese-making Bacteriology,'" 



"Dairy Bacteriology and Hygiene" attemj^ts to furnish the simplest 

 principles and facts of these subjects to those "short course" men, who 

 are making their course conform to a narrow field of work in the home 

 dairy or creamery. We strive in "Farm Bacteriology and Hygiene" to 

 especially adapt the lectures to those taking up "Live Stock Husbandry" 

 for a few weeks. In the pursuing of "Cheese-making Bacteriology" there 

 is a constant elTort to provide the students of the "short course" with 

 a knowledge of the biological processes involved in cheese-making.
