FOR OUR YOUNG N

Mrs. Rorer, head of the Philadel-
phia cooking school and d famous
authority on the culinary art, is Civ
ing lectures in Raleigh on cooking.
The Landmark gives hail and good
day to Mrs. ROrer. We hope she
will succeed in ~impressing on the
women of this day and generation
that the art of properly preparing
food for the table is one of the most
important branches of domestic
science and one that is worthy of
their careful attention and consider
alton. Not only is it important that
they learn how to prepare cakes,
pies and other knicknacks, but they
should know how to prepare bacon
and beans, corn bread, greens and
the other common stuff that com
mon folks have to eat. The average
householder who has to depend on
cOlored help has occasion to curse
the day that he was born. They are
lazy, slOuchy, vicious, ignorant and
thieving. 1t would be Il blessing to
US all if young white women Of re
specta5ility, instead of considering
knowledge Of cooking and house
keeping u disgrace, would study do
mestic science and elevate this most
important part of domestic economy
to the plane which its Importance
demands.
