166 PHYSIOLOGY CHEMISTRY Two years of chemistry are offered for students of household economics. Subjects of the first year are: General elementary chemistry. (Chem. i ) . Qualitative analysis. (Chem. 3b). Elements of organic chemistry. (Chem. 4.) For the second year several different courses are available. These should be grouped substantially as follows: Either ( 1 ) : Quantitative analysis (Chem. 5a), and chemistry of foodstuffs (Chem. 5c). This includes analysis and testing of milk, butter, cereals, meats, etc. Or, (2) : Agricultural chemistry (Chem. 13). Or, (3) : Household chemistry (Chem. 23). This course includes analyses of baking powders, vinegars, syrups, sugars, soaps, etc., etc. Sanitary analysis of water, air, etc. (Chem. 10), and proximate organic analysis (Chem. 21) afford opportunities for investigation of food supplies in both the raw and prepared state. ECONOMICS The problem of domestic service is a phase of the labor problem. Students in household economics will be assigned special topics for report under economics 13. The problem of household expenditure is to get the largest return from a given income. Statistics and experience show that certain items of expenditure are always in a certain proportion to income. A knowledge of what has been written on this subject is therefore of value to the housekeeper. The subject will be treated in connection with the labor problem and theory of consumption, (Economics 12 and 13). PHYSIOLOGY Work in this course consists of microscopical and chemical study of food and digestion. Required: Chemistry 1 and Zoology 10.
