About two years ago the young lady Students in the Young Women’s Christian Association were feeling the need of a home of their own where they might receive various guests, especially representatives of their State Association, where they might conduct Bible, classes and have a home for worthy and ambitious members who might desire to reduce living expenses to a minimum. These young ladies rented a small house and undertook the plan of self boarding. The merit and value of their enterprise became more and more evident. In September, 1905, the Association rented a new modern 14 room house, situated in the center of the city, and having furnace heat, hydrant water, electric lights, pressure tank, toilet rooms and indeed all conveniences known to a modern residence. 26 of the young women live in this house. They pay $50.00 per month for rent, the usual rates for fuel, light, water, etc., and $5.00 per week for a cook and house keeper. For waiting on the table and doing various other services about the house, one of the young women has all her expenses paid. With these accommodations, the living expenses of each girl are reduced to the small sum of from $2.10 to $2.50 per week. During the summer quarter the average living expenses will be reduced to something less than $2.00 per week. The “Association House” is a nucleus where the sober, ambitious, self supporting, aspiring young women enjoy a wholesome atmosphere in their student work, beautiful social life and many rare privileges which characterize the Young Women’s Christian Association. 18 (Page 19) YOUNG WOMEN’S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION HOUSE 19 (Page 20) PHOTO BY MOORE. 05. A FINE GROUP OF STUDENTS (Page 21) One Fine October Day in 1905. (Page 22) COURSE IN LIBRARY WORK FOR SUMMER QUARTER. The effective co-operation of schools and libraries is the main purpose of the Library Work in the summer school. A systematic course of instruction in reference work and the use of a library will be given and the adaptation of this work from the fifth grade through the high school will be emphasized; this knowledge of technical work and of books will enable the prospective teacher to organize and administer a good public school library, as a side issue if necessary. The reference work will include a study of indexes, dictionaries, encyclopaedias, ready reference and study reference. CATALOGING. The instruction in cataloguing will be based on Dewey’s Simplified Library School Rules and Cutter’s Rules for a Dictionary Catalog, with the use of the new A. L. A. Catalog. LIBRARY ECONOMY Will include: Book ordering, accessioning, classification, shelf-listing, charging systems, stock-taking, book-binding, library hand-writing and typewriting. BOOK SELECTION. Instruction will be given in the methods and principles governing selection for different purposes, for special departments, for children, for story hour, etc., and typical books, illustrative of each, will be discussed. 22 (Page 23) MOORE PHOTO A CORNER IN THE LIBRARY. 23 (Page 24) MOORE PHOTO CABINET OF Y.
