The domestic education should be-
gin in the home, in the earliest years
of the child. boy or girl; its best
most patient teacher is the mother;
the need of knowledge is felt here,
too. and this can only be remedied
by having the girls, the future moth
ers and housekeepers, thoroughly
grounded in housewifely science;
this can nowhere better be done than
in the training or cooking courses
that might be added to the curricu-
lum and made part of every school
| education. Certainly. one of the most
| important things in this life is to
know how to keep well, and no one
can keep health without knowledge
OF the requirements of the body. Poor
cooking leads to sickness, and sick

and no one can be- either healthy or
happy while nursing an outraged
stomach.
1t is claimed by some that the
much ridiculed cooking school les
sons" are not practical; that few
homes and kitchens are fitted up
with their requirements, in the way
Of stoves, ovens or utensils; that
these cooking school graduates will
not attempt to use the old 'imple-
ments which have SO long and so
honorably served the family uses. In
many cases they are not too blame,
for the old time devices Of the cult
nary quarters have little to recon-
| mend them, and our good cooks were
| good in spite of them. it is time the
kitchen received it's share of labor
saving and hygenic devices, and our
inventors certainly are at work in
that direction. But if every girl
knew the necessary chemical COM
binations" for simple dishes which
could be prepared even in the most
crudely furnished kitchen, it would
| greatly add to the health Ind, conse-
quently, happiness of the partakers.
If she always knew the reason why,
and by knowledge of kitchen chem
istry, were able to vary the food
combinations with confidence that
there would be a minimum of failure
and consequent loss, cooking would
not be the detested drudgery which
it is now regarded as being by too
many of our home and housekeepers
Other means have been tried, and
failed: now let us see what sys
tematic education can do. We are
all ready to fall in worship at the
