clouds of smoke would rise with kissing sound

Public School Cookery.
To the Editor of The Evening Star:
Some days ago you published a letter
from one of your correspondents on the
question OF the public schools, and among
her remarks was one to the effect that the
cooking lessons which are being given in
the public schools nowadays were imprac-
tcable because the recipes called for too
many eggs, too much butter and other ex-
pensive ingredients.
This winter 1 have had the advantage OF
lessons given in the Grant School, and in
Justice to the cooking schools Of the CITY
must say that the lessons have been very
practical. and We have been taught good
plain cooking-just the kind that is sadly
needed in too many homes of our city to-
day. We are taught the most economical
and tasteful method Of preparing food: We
have learned many small economies such
as We never heard of before and. still
better, we have learned something about
cooking, SO that now we feel in a measure
capable, and our earnest hope is that the
cooking classes may be continued next
year. I am speaking not only for myself
but for every member Of the cooking class
at the Grant School, and we all agree that
our cooking lessons have been of the great
est benefit to US. We are members of the
adult evening class. which is intended for
housekeepers.
We have had lessons in boiling, MASKING
dreaming and baking potatoes; we have
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1900-03-05

been taught to make coffee-and that with
out either egg or eggshells; we have had
lessons in baking breads and pasties: in
making soup stock and soups; in broiling
and banning steaks andSchops: in cooking
Hamburg steak in very palatable way
ana as every one knows, Hamburg is among
the cheaper meats; in preparing Goldfish balls,
an inexpensive and delicious dish prepared
by our recipe; in boiling and baking maca-
ROM, besides numberless other dishes which
are within the reach of most of us. 1t is
true, We have been given some lessons in
desserts, such as custafd, snow pudding and
custard souff1e, and these recipes call for
eggs, milk and sugar, but most families
allow themselves the luxury of an occa-
sionai dessert. so that 1t is well to know
a delicate, healthful dish to serve after the
evening meal. The great need of humanity
Is cooks and If the trustees of the public
schools are willing to help along the good
work by giving us the advantage of free
cooking lessons, let US cooperate and give
1t our earnest attention.
We are not taxed a penny for single
ingredient, used In, preparing the dishes we
are taught, and after they are made We are
permitted to eat them to prove to our own
satisfaction that they are just what they
ought to be. NJ S. R.

nance, PIT; in free institutions, IL; in free
homes, 345; at large, %; total number of

sation to several nurses because the chill

been maintained in homes or institutions
on expense for periods of six months and
multiples of six months and to report the
names of wards and the names of persons
or institutions having such wards at board

expense for eighteen months or longer, and
the reason why such ward had not been
placed in free home.
