lessons were most practical, consisting
/ of. first. the making and care of the
fire: classification and combination OF
foods. lessons on starch, meats, batter
stews, eggs, fish, bread, cake and lay
ing of table The object of this course
in plain cooking is TO supply knoWl-
edge of the nature of food and It's
proper combination for wholesome
cooking. This class was attended by
some of the Sangster girls, who expect
to put their knowledge thus learned
into practical use during the clubs
vacation this summer.
The kindergarten was opened the

parent and child, This department
opens the way for the mothers meet
