At the beginning of the decennium 1910-1920 specialized courses in home economics were maintained in the land-grant institutions in the New England states, except Massachusetts, and Connecticut; in New York, at Cornell University; in Pennsylvania at Pennsylvania State College, and all of the states north of the Ohio River and west of the Allegheny Mountains, except only the state of California. Home Economics was also supported at the state universities of Kentucky and Tennessee. Women were not admitted at least, no special provisions for their education had been made in the land- grant institutions of Massachusetts, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas. Up to the beginnings of this period, the home economics education provided in the land grant institutions was theoretically directed toward preparation of women for their home activities. The training designed to prepare for teaching home economics was incidental to the major objective, training for home administration. There were at this time large numbers of land grand college graduates entering the teaching profession. There had been a general awakening to the need of home economics instruction in public schools, and there were few other institutions of higher learning in which preparation for this profession could be secured. Land grant college graduates filled many teaching positions. A small number of normal schools had entered the field, but the burden of supplying teachers in home economics still rested upon the land grant colleges though few of these supplemented the technical and scientific departments with strong departments of education.
