limited to women, but men are also
invited. Mrs. Paul S. Rivett of Flor
ence, formerly a member of the Ex
tension Service Department of the
university, is re-employed, and will
with Miss Margaret Long teach the
first school in this city.
"Fifty persons can be taught in the
first school; and it is the intention
of the manager! to limit the attend
ants to those who pledge their serv
ices at any time during the summer
when their neighbors may want in
struction regarding the processes
learned. Thus' at first the training is
intended as a normal course for vol
unteers who want to aid in the
spreading of the improved arts of pre
serving vegetables and fruit.
To Dry Vegetables.
"Besides, canning, which is to re
ceive the major portion of the atten
tionTthe new process of drying will be
taught. The way to make a drying
machine will be shown, as well as the
art of cutting and preparing vege
tables and of storing the dried prod
uct. Laboratory work will be in the
mornings and lectures in the after
noons. A hand grist mill will be
used at the schools to grind corn and
wheat.
"Interpreters may be provided from
the state university in order that sep
aratt schools may be conducted for
people .in Omaha speaking Swedish,
German and Bohemian.
"The cost of attending the schools
will be determined by the prices of
vegetables and other material used.
Each student will be charged an en
rollment fee sufficient to cover the.
expense of fuel and of vegetables. It
was 75 cents in Lincoln, but is ex
pected to be less in Omaha."
