Co-Eds Learn
To Judge Goods
Scientifically
Girls in the textile division of the
department of home economics of
the University of Nebraska are justly
proud of some new equipment which
enables them to make very scientific
analysis of the fabrics they are
studying. There exists a realization
that courses in this division are en
abling the students to become good
judges of fabrics.
They are gaining not only the in
formation which the economical
housekeeper should have, but are
getting the scientific training in test
ing textiles which textile chemists
she uld receive. Soiui of these stu
dents will probably go out of the
university into textile work.
As a beginning of their scientific
sttt 'y the girls first learn the simple
physical tests for material. The
w'se housekeeper should know the
looks and "feel" of the leading tex
tile fibers. She should know, in a
ge lerai way, whether a fabric will
wear well and retain its color under
definite conditions. She should also
know the use and the proper care of
different kinds of fabrics.
Ey means of the physical and
chemical tests and the new equip
ment now installed in the laboratory,
