I am parfoetly satisfied that a four. teen-year-old girl who leaves the pub- lic school with a perfect and complete knowledge of plain" ooking and" the composition, the buying, preparation and the serving of meats and vegeta- bles and the spices, Havors and con- diments used in "cooking" them, as well as' with a liking for the work in- ciaental thereto, will sponer or later acquire in that most excellent *"'col- lege"--the school _éf experience--and from recipes which she will easily un- derstand, as much of the "higher art of cooking", 86 she may likely be call- ed upon to perform as a housewife. All those who talk and write about the "higher art of cooking" to he taught in college must permit us to consider, first and foremost the needs of the "'average"--the masses--not the matinee maidens or other young ladies who know a little French, a little sing- ing, a little piano playing, the difier- ent chewing gums, cracker-jack and bon-hons, who are "wild" about orchids, the very latest shirt waists and late picture. hats, who "adore" poetry and the theatre, and revel in "fudge." Most of the girls in our public schools are aphing to reach the age of fourteen, because that the © legal school age limit and then- they may leave school. . * When they do leave school at that age ean they make a decent loaf of bread or even biscuit ? Can they cook a tasly stew, savory potatoes, excel lent shredded cabbage or a good eup of coffee? In other words, do they know how to get the maximum nutri- ment at a minimum cost ? Moreover, can they do all that without waste of time and fuel and have the meal ready at the precise hour ?! Do they learn to do all this without looking like a fright in dress ? 1 am of the opinion that the teach- ing of cooking in most of the public schools is defective, in that it is not complete in any one particular. . In other, words, it is superficial in the highest degree and lacks the earnest- ness and dignity" of preparing for a life-work. The question may be asked : are the teachers themselves perfect in the ABC of cooking as we]l as the rest of the alphabet ? Has the teacher of the culinary art or in plain every-day English of cook- ing in our pliblic schools ever been in- vestigated by unbiased, competent judges, who know themselves where, how, why and how much, and has the report--specific and iridescent generali- ties--been published by the press '-- From an article in the National Food Magazine. is MISSIONARIES' MISTAKE. Purchase of Property Near Tomb Stirs Trouble. Pekin, April. 2.--Native resentment over the purchase by American Meth- odists of property for a mission near the tomb of Confucius is a factor in the recent anti-foreign demonstrations in Shantung province. The seller of the property has been sent to jail. Feeling is intense and the matter has been referred by the legations to the Waiwapu. Missionaries report that anti-foreign feeling is strong in Chufou, Tongping- chon and Tsaochufu, notorious hot- beds of secret societies. There is no evidence of immediate danger. The foreign diplomatic representatives are confident that the soldiers sent by the governor of Shantung will be able to] cope with the situation. 1 } Unusual Academic Fraud. The birthday of the German em- pero -is always ramembered at Mar- burg University by the distribution of prizes for the best essays on bel which are given to the students the year before, This year when the win- ner of the first prize on the natural | philoscphy thome presented himself ho was informed that another person who identified himself by giving the ficti- tious name with which the paper was signed had called foy and reecived the essay. The fact - that the dishonest persén never called. at the university for the cash prize showed, says the Frankfarter Zeitung, that he wanted the work more than the money, and the inference is that he will make use of it in some 'other country. | Only One 'Brome Quinine."
