and  delightful.  A  like  purpose  led 
the  women's

apart  of  Abbot  Hall  as  a  women's 
dormitory.  T h e re  were  seventeen 
young  ladies 
in  the  hall  that  first 
year.  T he  next  year  the  hall  was 
full,  and  since  then  the  College  has 
had  no  sufficient  accommodations  for

Extracts  from  the  address  of  Mrs. 
Nellie  S.  Kedzie,  Professor  of  Do 
in  Bradley  Insti 
mestic  Economy 
tute,  Peoria,  111.,  at  the  dedication  of 
the  W o m e n 's  Building,  Michigan 
Agricultural  College, Thursday,  Oct. 
25,  1900: 

We  have  grown  to  feel  the  pres-

time 

them 

in  her 

ciousness  of 
these  girls  of  our§  in 
such  measure  that  we  are  glad  to  do 
for  them  everything  in  our  power  to 
the 
give 
tools  with  which 
themselves  a  future  of 
to  carve  for 
happiness  and  comfort  and  joy,  be 
cause  they  are  strong  enough  to  do 
whatever  work  may  come  into  their 
hands.  T he  day  has  gone  by  when 
to 
it  was  considered  wise  or  best 
shield  a  girl  from  all  work,  worry  or 
responsibility.  We  find  that  every 
girl  will,  some 
life, 
sooner  or  later,  meet  responsibilities 
of  various  kinds,  and  as  she  meets 
these responsibilities  successfully,  she 
grows  more  and  more  strong,  more 
and  more  able  to  carry  out  what-
£ver  work  may  be  put 
into  her 
hands.  Therefore,  we  begin,  in  the 
early  years,  to  give  her  easy  re 
sponsibilities,  to  teach  her  to  meas 
ure  her  own  strength  against 
the 
tasks  which  come  day  by  day,  and 
we  are  trying  in  this  way  to  give 
her  an  education  which  will  fit  her 
for  the  duties  of  life  the  world  will 
demand  that  she  be  able  to  accomp 
lish.  No  one  asks  of  a  girl  today 
"  W ho  was  your  grandfather  ?"  or 
came  y o u ?"  but  one 
" W h e n ce 
question  is asked  of  every  girl  in  the 
land,  and  asked  in  all  seriousness; 
is,  "  W h at  are  you 
that  question 
good  for  ?  W h at  can  you  do 
to 
the  world 
make  your  own  part  of 
wiser  or  stronger  or  better  ?"  and  in 
so  far  as  she  is  able  to  meet  the  de 
mands made  upon  her,  just  so  far  is 
her  life  a success. 

For  many  years  we  have  felt  that 
a  boy  ought  to  be  educated  along  the 
lines  in  which  he  expected  to  work 
during  his  manhood,  but  it  is  only 
within  the  last  few  years  that  we 
have  grown  so  wise  as  to  remember 
to  have  some  help 
a  girl  ought 
to 
to  carry  successfully  a

woman's  work. 
time 
we  were  slowly  awakening  to  the 
fact  that  somewhere  a  girl  needed 

In  all 

this 

that 

help,  and  then  we  remembered  that 
these girls of today  will be the  mothers 
of  tomorrow,  the  mothers  who  must 
send  out  into  the  world  boys  strong 
enough,  wise  enough,  good  enough, 
to  become  the  doctors  and 
lawyers 
and  ministers  of  the  future.  So  we 
learned 
the  girls  must  have 
special  training  along  their  own  line 
of  work, and  we  learned  to  acknowl 
edge  that  every  girl  needs  something 
which  your  building'on  this  campus 
has  been  fitted 
to  give  her.  She 
needs  not  only  the  college  education 
these  buildings  scattered 
to  which 
through 
the  trees  in  sight  of  your 
windows  contribute,  but  she  needs 
definite  training  in the  art  and  science 
of  home  making.  W h e t h er  a  girl 
marry  or  not,  she  is  more  than  likely 
to  have  occasion,  some  time  in  her 
life,  to  carry  on 
the  affairs  of  a 
household,  and  if  she  knows  enough 
of  the  general  principles  of  the  busi 
ness  pertaining 
the  home,  she 
to 
will  find  herself  not  only willing  but 
capable,  and 
take 
her  share  of  whatever  burdens  may 
come.

O ne  of  the  best  lines  of 

training 
the 
in  this  new  building  will  give 
the 
girls 
lessons  of  health  under 
guise  of  "  hygiene." 
I  hold  that  it 
is  the  duty  of  every  woman  to  make 
of  her  own  body  the  strongest,  best 
machine  possible,  and  I  believe  that 
one  of  the  great  lessons  to  be  taught 
to  the  women  of  America  today  is 
care  of  themselves. 
I  wish  1  could 
reach  out,  not  only  to  all  the  girls 
in  the  land,  but  to  all  the  mothers, 
as  well,  and  could  say  to  them,  "  It 
is  your  duty 
to 
to  your  Maker, 
your  neighbors,

to  g i ve

would  hear  this  and  could  under 
that  the  work  which  gives 
stand 
them 
sleep,  or  allows 
too 
them  no 
time  for  quiet  eating  of 
their  food,  which  crowds  them  daily 
with  nervous  anxiety  as  to  whether 
or  not  the  work  will  all  be  accom 
plished,  is  the  work  which  fills  our 
insane  asylums  with  broken-down 
women,  that  makes  our  mothers  un 
able  to  give  to  their  daughters  the 
love, 
that 
the  care  and  attention 
girls  need  in  their  growing  years. 
A  great  good  might  be  accomplished 
if  I  could  prove 
that 
kitchen  utensils  cost  less  than  coffins, 
the 
that  money  paid 
household 
than 
money  paid 
to  doctors  and  nurses; 
if  all  the  mothers  would  live  up  to 
the  knowledge  they  really  have  of 
their 
care  of  themselves  and  care  of 
little 
daughters, 
there  would  be 
the 
need  of  the  hygiene  classes  in 
building  we  are  dedicating 
today. 
T h e re  is  another  side  to  this  work 
of  the  teachers  which  is  oftentimes 
a  mother's  duty,  but  in  many  cases 
the  mothers  are  busy  women,  in 
some  cases  they  are  timid  women, 
and  sometimes  a  girl  has  no  mother, 
so  the  teachers  in  this  great  Depart 
ment  of  Domestic  Science  give  to 
th ese  Michigan  girls  some  of 
the 
thought,  the  earnestness  of 
tender 
sacred 
thought  of 
character, 
responsibility  and 
the  realizing  of 
her  own  power  in  the  world  which 
comes  to  a  right  minded  girl  when 
she  appreciates  something  of 
the

her,  and  the possibilities of the  great 
happiness-  that  may  come  into  her 
life. 
I  mean  a  little earnest  thought 
of  the mysteries  of  life.  We  know 
so  little  about  these  mysteries  that 
w h at 
little  knowledge  we  have, 
must  be so  given  that  our girls may 
g r ow  strong  morally  and  spiritually, 
and  their  hearts  be filled  with  sym 
pathy  for the  evil  in the world;  but 
that  sympathy  must  be so  tempered 
with  strength  that  it  shall  be able to 
recognize  evil  and  to combat  it  suc 
cessfully. 

I  am  glad  to  realize,  as we  dedi 
cate  this  building  today,  that  a  large 
portion  of its work  will  center  about 
t he 
training  which  each  girl  will 
gain  in definite  home-making  lines. 
•God  has given  us a  picture  of  what 
Heaven  may be, and  He  has given 
it  in the  shape  of  a  perfect  Ameri 
can  home,  ruled  over  by a  woman 
whose  reign  is one of love, and  whose 
power  is  the  strength  of  capable, 
willing 
service.  May  every  girl 
w ho  goes  out from  these  walls,  find 
fully  able  to  make,  some 
herself 
w h e re 
in  t he  world,  the  perfect 
home  for  herself  which  will  pro 
claim  to  all  that  she  is  truly  " An 
American  Queen."

Bay  City,  Mich. 

Dear  S i r : — T he  inspection  of the 
accounts  of  the  Secretary  of  t he 
State  Board  of  Agriculture,  as  re 
quired  by  act  123,  laws  of  1895, 
which  I  had hoped  to make  a  num

T he  examination 

took  up  the  ac 
counts  as  they  were  represented  by 
papers  for  the month  of  September 
prepared  for the filing  in this  office, 
but  still  in the hands  of  the  Secre 
tary  awaiting  the  approval  of  the 
Board.  Y ou  will  notice 
that  the 
Secretary  accounts  for  the  money 
and  bank  credits  called  for by the 

accounts of the  institution  as checked 
up  to  and  including  October  23, to 
a  cent. 

I  wish  to congratulate  the Secre 
tary  and his assistants  on  the exact 
ness  of  that  feature  of  their  work 
which  came  under  my  observation 
in  making  this  examination. 
It is a 
pleasure  to go  into  the business end 
of  any of  our  State  institutions and 
find  the  details  in  connection  there 
with  in  such  excellent  shape  as  I 
found  them  yesterday  at the College.
