GENERAL STATEMENT The Department of Home Economics of the Lewiston State Normal School was established in 1910. The purpose of this department is to give the students such training in the theory and practice of Home Economics, that they may be competent to teach the subject in the elementary and secondary schools of Idaho. Qualification for Admission The minimum admission requirement is graduation from an approved high school. Candidates for admission must have at least 30 credits of which eight are English and one is chemistry; the remaining 21 credits may be in any of the secondary academic or High school subjects. A credit is understood as satisfactory work for one semester 18 to 20 weeks, five periods a week of a minimum length of 45 minutes. If the sub- ject be science or manual work, this time should be double to allow for lal)oratory or shop work. Facilities for Instruction The home economics building was completed in 1910. It is so planned that a wing may be added as more room shall be needed. The lower floor of the building already constructed is occupied by laboratories with all the necessary apparatus to give thorough instruction in Food chemistry, Bacteriology, Cookery, and other subjects related to the course. The kitchen equipment i- complete in all essentia] details and is so planned as to give the -Indents in training a good model for domestic science furn- ishing- in the public schools of the slate. The sea aid floor of the building is devoted to Applied Arts and Manual Training, and is admirably arranged for that work. 1 tie third floor, containing two large dining rooms and a kitchen, **1) is used as a student cafe which is directed by the domestic science department. The Cafe furnishes an excellent field for the training of professional students in school lunch problems. The library contains the best books, periodicals, and bulletins related to the science and art work of this course. Home Economics Course Junior Year.
