TiOlidersotir'' . Addresses . • .
Faculty ~:.Tuncheon . Club,
Grace M. Henderson, dean of the 'College of Home Economics, addressed the Faculty Luncheon
Club yesterday. on the education of women.
Dean Henderson pointed' out that the education of women is necessarily different from that of
men, because of the - three-fold role as home maker, bread winner, and citizen that most women
play. Education should aid a woman to become what society and the community demand of her,
she said.'
Clarifying the position of t
that home economics is designed
as an area through which the
home life of the country can be
improved just as the industry,
health and agriculture of the na
tion have been improVed. Horne
and family life concerns • both
men and women. Accordingly, 26
per cent of all home economic
credits are earned by men _use
either personally or socially. - Hotne
economics isn't a field for women
- only, she asserted. •
Dean Henderson- presented a
few facts on the eduea.tional needs
and the occupational capacities of
women in the United States.
Over .90 per cent of the women
are married by 35 years of age
and 80 per cent of,: them have
children. Consequently; .Worn
an's education must prepare for
her role as a homemaker, wife
and mother. .
One Third In Labor
One third of all .women in the
United States serve in some ca
pacity in the labor forces supple
menting their family's income,
gratifying their own ambition Or
answering' a demand placed on
them by society.
Lastly, Dean Henderson ex
plained the role demanded of all
women, that of citizen and corn
munity leader. She said com
munity programs call for women
of wide perspective, clear judg
nient and creatively.
Prepare For Three Roles
Most women need to prepare
for all three roles, she said. They
need the courage to attack new
problems. A liberal education, no
matter where it is found, contri
butes toward this. It should in
clude a foundation of physical,
biological- and social studies.
Women should be free to take
concentrated study in the field
which most appeals to her.
Dean Henderson called atten
tion to the limited enrollment
open to women at the University.
Penn State serves three per cent
of •all the men of college age in
Pennsylvania, but only one per
cent of - all college age women in
this state.
Dean, Henderson feels that pres
ent educational practices are not
adequate to help women meet
the prol:Aems they must face.

If this still would not solve the
problem, maybe the best thing
to do would be to have six-year
olds sign them when they enter
first grade. Then there won't bp
any 5tr....-fersion in the educational
system at all!
