Still the Best Way
Food Study and Preparation, and Dietetics were the two courses offered the
students of domestic economy in the early days of the Stout Institute. Along
with the expanded choice of subjects in this area have come improved laboratories.
Visitors from all over the world are impressed with the home-like atmosphere
of the kitchens. However, the student of 1915 basically had the same objectives
as the girl does now: the planning, preparation, and serving of nutritious
food in an appetizing manner. A good meal is still the best way to a man's
heart.
Streamlined Homemaking
Household management has always been a necessary part of every girl's training
at Stout. No longer does she bend over a hot wood range or carry garbage
out in pails. Today, with an electric stove and its automatic timer, the
garbage disposal, and numerous other modern conveniences, the home management
girls can prepare a meal with a minimum of effort. Through the years, homemaking
has become streamlined.
