to highly aigsssibls condition. 20 that
1t may Be absorbed readily: Necessarily,
. good deal Of the instruction relates to
the fundamental facts of chemistry, and
the pupils are taught 10 know something

the oxygen In which the combustion OF
fuel depends: the formation Of coal the
makeup OF wood, the process Of the man

nature Of the friction match. They are
taught how to discover sdultsrants In

pipe, which opens and CLOSES again as the
food moves along. By means OF this
wavelike motion, the food passes along
the entire digestive track. The food re-

The furniture Of . cookery GLASS room In
New York consists Of - large marble
topped table (which serves as q dining
table and Is . demonstration table)
Kitchen table, dresser, and specimen
case. The floors are covered with lin
oleum. There are gas ranges, water-heat-
ers and comfortable chairs with arm rests.
ChemicalsaLd chemical apparatus are
purchased as required. 1t is stated that
this sort Of instruction wakes up the
pupils mentally, and the more they learn,
the more eager they are TO obtain knowi-
edge on the subject. IL ought to be men
toned incidentally that some Of the more
common food plants are raised in the
class .room-as for example, beans and
pease-so As 70 begin the teaching literally
from the ground up.
