Excerpt from The Journal of Home Economics, 1910, Vol. 2: Published by the American Home Economics AssociationAt about eleven o'clock, the general meeting adjourned and while some of the delegates went to visit the Carnegie Nutrition Laboratory, two sectional meetings were formed, one devoted to Extension Work in Home Economics, the other to the Problems of Domestic Art teachers.The Extension Program included a paper by Professor William D. Hurd of Massachusetts Agricultural College, on Relations of University and College Departments of Home Economics to the Outside Community; an address by Miss Van Rensselaer, and an informal discussion which helped make clear the obligations of Home Economics workers outside their institutions.The Domestic Art section considered the topic, Hygienic Dress and was presided over by Mrs. Mary Schenck Woolman of Teachers College. Papers were presented by Dr. Dudley A. Sargent of Cambridge, Mass, and by Dr. Eliza Ransom of Boston, and a significant discussion followed.After the adjournment of the morning meetings the delegates repaired to the lunch room of Simmons College as guests of the college at a cafeteria luncheon. Following this, they reassembled for the closing session of the convention. At this the president's annual address on The Outlook in Home Economics was delivered, and matters of business, including committee reports and the election of officers, were transacted as reported elsewhere. Then the meeting adjourned and the second annual convention ended.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
