YEAR 83, NO. 153 THE SCHOOL OF COOKERY THE PRACTICAL VALUE OF THIS SCHOOL IS EVIDENT. Course Closed on Friday--The Quali- fled Cooks Will Return To Battal ions and Spread Knowledge. There is one institution at Barrie- field camp which certainly deserves the greatest credit. Although many things have crossed the path of its career and hindered its progress somewhat, the School of Cookery is carrying on a splendid work at the camp and progressing rapidly. This school, which Is being conducted by three very experienced instructors, Sergt.-Major Kerrison, W.0., Sergt.- Major Rolfe and Sergt. Inst, Brown, closed its latest course on Friday af- ternoon, and some twenty graduates will now be able to go back to their units and teach the remainder of the men in the big battalion a system of Saoking that will padauhted prove of wonderful the sol: diers all they Siting the. sol. Jagnner that practically no waste re- su ¢ Like any business, those in charge of the school aim to conduct it along lines that will bear "efficiency" as the proof of the work. Efficiency in feeding 1,000 men in a battalion means a great deal, and the lack of it may result in the loss of thousands of dollars to the Government. Need- less waste is avoided, but not at the cost of a shortage in the amount of food to every man. Soldiers re- ceive more than enough by the Gov- ernment ration. It may be cooked, however, in such a way that some go hungry. This Is not the fault of the rations, but of the cooks, and the School of Cookery is going to remedy this condition of affairs. The scientifically correct method of cooking food is used throughout. The various articles of the equipment of the school are made to combine the- ory with practice. The practical value is shown by the fact that the men eat their meals after cooking them on the different kinds of fire- places that the school has construct- ed The exhibit of apparatus at the school is well worth going a long way to see. . It has been well built and is well kept. The grounds are fenced off and whitewash has been used ad- vantagecusly. The various ways in which food may be cooked are shown clearly, After passing through, one immediately that here is a school that is bound to go ahead. It is possible for a soldier to cook his mess tin dinner in a dozen differ- ent ways, but the field stoves or oth- er equipment that is commonly used is not n .

When more classes, like the one examined on Friday, have completed the course, the work will become more and more recognized until every cook will have to take the course. Camp Notes. Capt. J. M. Wilson, A.D.D.S., pro- ceeded to Petawawa on Wednesday on auty. Capt. C. J. Garofalo, AM.C,, ha been detailed for duty to the 136th Battalion.

Colonel McManus, Instructional Cadre, and in charge of the training of the 3rd Brigade at Barriefield camp, has a brother overseas with the 39th Battalion. -- The members of the 156th Battal- ion take a great interest in keeping their lines in good condition. One of theMatest improvements is a mound in front of the paymaster"s tent. \ -- The camp branch of the Bank of Montreal are cashing cheques for the men at the camp. About 350 men of the 93rd Battal- fon are spending the holiday in Pe- terboro. A special train has been arranged for. Several cadets from the Royal Mili- tary College were in camp on Thurs- day afternoon inspecting the School of Cookery. The 166th Battalion camp was lighted for the first time on Thurs- day night, and, the new system of il- lumination proved of great, value, Majore Carew, 109th Battalion, was visited by kis four sisters on Friday afternoon. Herbert E, Smith, who graduated from the Urbana, Ill, college, has enlisted for overseas service with the Queen's College Field Ambulance Corps. Capt.

There is keen rivalry among the different battalions as to which wiil have the best decorated grounds, and competition promises to grow in in- tensity. The Irish Rangers seem to be the most ambitious in the matter of floral schemes, but there is every evidence that other regiments will not lag behind long. Col. McBain, who is Superintendent of Construction, is offering three handsome prizes for the most attrac- tive regimental grounds, As usual the colonel is very busy, and is doing much in the way of effecting improve- ments, Most of the battalions have a mas- cot, that of the 199th being an Irish terrier. ~ One battalion, which arriv- ed last night, had four dogs in line leading their band. "Another had a goat, while the attendant genius ot the 148th, in some ways the show regiment of the camp, is a bear cub, which aroused some trepidation by breaking loose the other night and creating discord in a tent occupied by one of the regimental bands.

Shirley MacDonell, son of Mr. P. J. C. MacDonnell, of the Bank of Montreal, Perth, has joined the am- bulance corps connected with Queen's University, and may leave any day to join his company. Dr. Scott, of Lanark, has two sons in this organi- zation, and Chris. Forbes, of the same place, one son in it. Lieut. Lanos, Royal Military Col- lege, is giving a series of lectures in the Frefich language to the men at- tending the School of Signalling. He is also carrying on several series with officers of units through the camp. The last of the splendid addresses given by Rev. H. H.

The boys of the 136th Battalion were the guests of the "Y" for a treat of coffee this morning before their leaving for Port Hope to receive their colors. ---- Lieut.
