Home Economics in Great Britain

As we see the Iowa State College seal with the words, Science with practice, it is natural that we home economics students think of home economics. We may just think of it as it exists in the state, or in the United States, or even in the whole world. I wonder if we have the general idea that it is the same in the different parts of the world as we find it in our country. Is it possible for us to realize how new it is in some countries and what little advance it has made in others. By taking various part of the British Empire it is possible to get a better idea of the advance some countries are making

Practice House in Sweden...

It was an apartment for two - but the Swedish girl had not day-dreamed of it as an Iowa State co-ed might. In fact, she hadn\u27t been a bit romantic about it. But really, why should she be? Would the Iowa State co-ed leisurely day-dream of the home management house or the practical examination

Bringing Romance from Spain

Building air castles in Spain is not a bit more interesting than planning a Spanish house for America. America is young yet and blood of our European ancestors is still flowing in our veins, so it is not at all strange that we should want our architecture even today to still bear evidence of European influence, although at the same time showing the individuality and sentiment of our people

Cheese Is a Change...

Some of us count the calories, some of us watch the vitamins, some of us estimate the minerals, but all of us are conscious of the variety in our menus. The juicy steak which we expected to be greeted with the glad exclamation of Ah! turns out to be only, Ah - beefsteak again! I\u27m so tired of that.
