The training of children as a part of laboratory work in home manage- 

 ment, E. Vkhmii.ye {./our. Home Kcon., 12 {1920), No. 1. pp. 28-^.'/).— Tho 

 author describes a liroject in the training of children undertaken as a part of 

 the laboratory woik in home-nianagenient instruction in the spring and summer 

 quarters of 1918-19 at the University of Minnesota. The tli vision of home 

 ec<momics of the university conducts two home-management hous^es. in each 

 of which a child aged 13 and 21 months, respectively, was taken, and its entire 

 care placed in the hands of the students under the supervision of the instructor. 

 The object of the work was to show that laboratory work in the care of chil- 

 dren can be fitted into a college prograiu, to demonstrate methods of child 

 < :ire, both physical and mental, which are known to result in the well-being 

 and development of the child, and to work out some management problems 

 invtilved in the care of children. It was concluded that the work was of 

 decided benefit to both students and children. The most desirable age for 

 the babies is open to discussion. In the author's knowledge there are at present 

 18 colleges and universities in this country offeiing laboratory work in home 

 maiuigement, but the care and training of children has so far been omitted.
