Miss Moran has been appointed teacher. Miss Murphy recently learned that a number of the boys were also very anx- lous to become chefs, and when asked about the matter ten of them emphati- cally declared their preference for the work of the cooking class over that of the woodworking shop.

Little Elias Otterbeck gravely assured Miss Murphy that he would like nothing bet ter than to become real good cook . so that he could help his mother. With pride he announced that already he could cook griddle-cakes, porridge and make coffee. Some of the boys had an eye to future camping trips one boy was al- ready contemplating cooking in the Klon- dike, while another little chap said, sig nificantly: "You might grow up to be a bachelori"
