duu
The tennis courts at the high school
are being flooded so as to make a skat-
ing rink tor the pupils of the lower
grades.
The average cost for one lesson in
cooking in the Domestic Science de-
partment of the Wausau high school is
from II cents to cents per pupil. The
recipes are as small as they can well be
made so as to use as little material as
possible snd still do effective work.
There is another advantage besides til al
of economy in the use of small recipes
Ii is far easier to make mistake by
getting too little or too much of some
one ingrediment in small recipe than
in large one.
The highly practical part of the work
was illustrated by a supper given by
the senior class Saturday night TO forty
three people. The entire cost of the
supper fuel included was only So 30 or
thirteen and three-fourth cents per
plate. Every one had enough and, of
course, there was something's left over
so that the thirteen and three-fourth
cents included that what was left.
n the domestic science department
the pupils are taught the food princi-
pies and the proportions of each that
should enter into every we'll balanced
meal. They are not only taught how
to cook for we'll people and save waste
but how also to prepare dainty and
appetizing food for the sick aad coayal-
essence. The well ordered home can
teach how to prepare the different kinds
of food but it omss entirely the chem
iStry of cooking and the physiological
process of digestion. ii takes away the
drugery of preparing three meals day
if one in that position understands the
effect of each food and their chemical
properties and these things are laugh.
