DATES OF INTRODUCING HOME ECONOMICS INTO STATE NORMAL SCHOOLS. By combining data secured by Miss Susannah Usher in 1909-10 and that secured for this study in 1912 the year of introducing home economies into some 86 public normal schools was obtained. Prior to 1900, of 12 normal schools which had introduced this teaching, 5 were for colored students only, 3 for whites only, and 4 for both All but four of these institutions were in the South. These normal schools, which merit note for early recognition of this subject, are as follows: Jacksonville (Ala.) Normal (for whites), 1883; Agricultural and Mechanical College for Negroes, Normal, Ala., 1883; Kentucky Normal and Industrial Institute for Colored Persons, Frankfort, 1890; State Normal and Industrial College (for white women), Milledgeville, Ga., 1891; State Normal and Industrial College (for white women), Greensboro, N. C., 1892; Winthrop Normal and Industrial College (for white women), Rock Hill, S. C., 1895; State Teachers' College, Greeley, Colo., 1895; Branch Normal School (for negroes), Pine Bluff, Ark., 1897; Lincoln Institute (for negroes), Jefferson City, Mo., 1897; State Normal School, Providence, R. I., 1898; State Normal School, Framingham, Mass., 1898; State Normal School, Reno, Nev., 1899. The number of normal schools introducing home-economics courses in successive years has been as follows: 1883, two schools; 1890, one school; 1891, one; 1892, one; 1895, two; 1897, two; 1898, two; 1899, one; 1901, four; 1902, four; 1903, two; 1904, three; 1905, three; 1906, three; 1907, five; 1908, six; 1909, eighteen; 1910, eight; 1911, thirteen; 1912-13 (in part), five. The subject is now taught in all but perhaps 10 of the public normal schools. Miss Usher found that household science in some form was taught in 1909-10 in 96 of 150 normal schools from which data were secured (the total number of normal schools being then placed at 168). Miss Spethman, of the United States Department of Agriculture, compiled in 1911 a list of normal schools teaching home economics, 102 schools in all, which included 82 State normal schools.1 Miss Usher's detailed facts for 1909-10 were as follows: TABLE 17.-Household science in State normal schools, 1909-10. The leadership of the South in introducing home economics into higher institutions has never before been made evident. The introduction into negro schools was doubtless with a primarily industrial aim, but the similar introduction into the institutions for white women at Jacksonville, Ala.; Milledgeville, Ga.; Rock Hill, S. C.; and Greensboro, N. C., antedated by several years recognition in similar institutions elsewhere, and was for purposes of general higher education as well as for preparation for teaching.
