Missouri Housekeepers' Conference Association. 469 



We want some babies from an orphan home, and a woman who has 

 had the training of a trained nurse, and a trained kindergartener 

 to have charge of the work, and we want properly equipped rooms 

 in which to do it. We await the public opinion that shall send us 

 the money needed. 



Even for the Home Economies' work on food, house and clothes 

 that we are already giving, we are very much crowded for room. 

 The work is popular with the girls, and the classes are growing 

 rapidly. We much need a building of our own. The farmers of the 

 State have seen to it that the University has a beautiful, large 

 dairy building. Are not the interests of the home as important as 

 the interests of the dairy? I am sure that you agree that they are 

 greater, and that you will give your earnest, hearty support when 

 we ask the legislature at its next meeting to grant money for a 

 Home Economics building in which University of Missouri young 

 women will be trained to make happy homes for the State.
