Provision will also be made for a limited number of young women

demands of an age that would have stood aghast at the intricacies
that are everyday matters with the men and women. and even the
children of the present generation. In these days life is too full for
the young housekeeper to learn by experience along the long road
her mother and grandmother travelled. She must 90 to school, and
when The grammar and high school are finished, If she is not privil-

hours are over she must have recreation, or rest, or both.
Science and art contribute equally to the idetl home Of today, and
neither is q success without the other. The school of domestic sci
enco supplements the college course and the business career and
makes Its graduates the best all around women that we have. 1t
teaches women that successful housekeeping is a matter of inteli-
gence and that anyone can bake good bread, cook good meals and
successfully combat the majority of the artificial conditions that
enter o largely into every department of life today. The domestic
science graduate knows all about proper food balances, nutrition OF
foods and invalid cookery. Whether she be called upon to provide
for the infant or the invalid, the aged or the athlete, she knows
how to guard against the evils resulting from authorizations that en-

In a specially equipped section of a specially constructed building
in the group surrounding the Auditorium that is to house the Corn
show provision is being made for a department the like of which has
never before been incorporated in an exposition. 1t is to be known
as the Model Kitchen section, but its scope extends over a vastly
wider field than that suggested by the name. 1t is to be a school of
domestic science and practically all the things that pertain to house
hold economics will receive consideration. And it will not be a mere
smattering that will be given out here. The section is in charge Of

sen bled in the interest of home-makng and the program that they
will offer will embrace the essentials of the courses that extend over
a term of many weeks in the colleges and universities that include
domestic science in their curriculum; it will be a short course such
as has never been offered before.
A cooking laboratory, which is to be a model of its kind, will be
equipped for a class Of sixty and provision will be made for three
classes each day II there is demand for 1t. The laboratory will be

First Work in These States

The pioneer work was really done in these two states. Like all
of the ignorant, the jokes and sneers of the hippant and the active
hostility of those benighted persons opposed to the education of
women at all, and this in spite of the fact that in an a priori way one
would have supposed that these disciples of the "Kirche-Kuchen-
Kinder" theory would have favored teaching possible wives and
mothers how to prepare foodstufs inteligently. Possibly there is
no cooking nowadays of the kind mother used to make" The joke
is worn threadbare, but let it be incidentally remembered that
mother" did not have to deal with the hundred and one adutera-
lions which menace cooks in this day and age. Catherine Beecher
and her sister would be the first to admit that in the course Of time
problems undreamed of in their hacyon time have since arisen.
Nebraska, Minnesota, Illinois and other mid-western states were
later than Iowa and Kansas in entering the field, but they have made
up for lost time and Nebraska at least now has unexcelled facilities
for teaching domestic science. The building for the purpose is In
fact one of the campus structures to which the undergraduate points
with pride when he is towing a burdensome relative.
If visitors to the National Corn exposition gain an adequate idea
of the extent and purpose of domestic science instruction-and those
of ordinary intelligence cannot fail to-chief credit for this Will be
due to Miss Jessica Besack, who has been in charge of the Model
Kitchen. Miss Besack is an Ames woman and her case has proven
the exception to the rule that "a prophet is not without honor save
in his own country" for in the current issue of the Iowa Agrcultur-
tt. published at the college, occurs the following passage:
I'VE are honored to announce that the Model Kitchen depart
ment at the National Corn exposition which is to be held in Omaha
December 9 to 10 is to be conducted by our domestic science editor,
Miss Jessica Besack. 1t is claimed that she knows how to prepare
corn for human consumption in SOL ways. Be this so or not, we
know you will find her ready to tell you all she knows about the
preparation Of corn and its by-products for the table,"

Toms Cabin" and her sister, If they could return in the
flesh, would be most gratihed that the first national exposition to
recognize domestic science as this exposition has done should be held
in the west.
For it was in the west that they met with their first success in
this work and, besides this, it was in the west, where years later the
work, given greater encouragement, lowered until domestic science
schools, o r at least domestic science currculums, are established in
thirtythree universities and colleges, while of lecture courses at
farmers institutes and of private schools there is no end.
1t was in Cincinnati, in the year 1910, that Harriet and Gather
ine Beecher first broke ground. In the seminary for young women
young ladies" was still the popular term at that date-in this
school founded by them, the first systematic instruction, the first in
structon, in fact, in a school, in domestic science was given.
This fact is generally known. What is not Of such common knowl-
edge, however, is that Catherine Beecher, a decade later, founded
another seminary in Dubuque, Ia, and there, also, young women
because a boom met the usual end of booms and residents could
neither send their daughters nor even meet pledges of financial as
sistance which they had made.
Soon after this date Catherine Beecher published a volume widely
known as a cook book" 1t did include recipes, but 1t was a much
more ambitious attempt than the popular name indicates. Its formal
title was "A Treatise on Domestic Economy"
The table Of contents of this book is most interesting. 1t begins
with a chapter on 1.-The Peculiar Responsibilities OF American
Women" this is followed by chapters on "healthful food, clothing,
cleanliness, domestic manners, care of infants and construction Of
houses" A fitting climax is reached in the final chapters, named
Miscellaneous Directions" in which the care of a COW, the comfort
of guests, smoky chimneys, flower baskets and waterproof shoes are
considered.

unwieldy with facilities considered and to meet the demands new
buildings are imperative
Kansas followed Iowa's lead in 1878 at the Agricultural college
at Manhattan. 1t is worthy of passing note that it is in the agrcul-
tural colleges that the roots of this tree of knowledge have sunk the
deepest-to a depth, in fact, which makes uprooting impossible, a
consummation, however, devoutly not desired by anyone.
Activity at the Kansas college did not become strenuous until the
winter of 1856, when Prof. Kedzie, an eminent chemist, was re-
tanned to give a course of lectures on foods. The next year a kitchen
laboratory was fitted up and in 1882 Miss Nellie Kedzie, now Mrs.
Kedzie-Jones, took general charge of the department of domestic
science. Mrs. Jones has since retired, but still retains an active in
terest in the work and will be one of the speakers at the National
Corn exposition. On account of her long-held eminence her address
will be heard with more than ordinary interest.

Iowa is It's Pioneer

Although the Dubuque school was ill-starred, yet to the state of
Iowa belongs the honor of the first large and successful instruction
in domestic science. The Iowa State College Of Agriculture opened
its doors at Ames March 7, 1869. From the first instruction Of
young women in household branches was established al IN integral
part of the curriculum. The matron of the girls domitory was also
stewardess and she worked her disciples two hours every day in
kitchen, pantry or dining room. The presence Of young women in
the college at Ames is also of moment when the history of education
of women is considered with reference to coeducation, but this is
another theme.
In 1875 the trustees of the college arranged to have courses be-
gin in cooking and household arts, but these lectures were given to
Junior girls only. In 1880 a kitchen for class room work was estab-
lshed a s al entirely separate institution from the kitchens where
regular meals for students we're prepared. In 1884 courses IN sew
ing and laundry work were added and previous branches elaborated.
Today domestic science instruction has grown to proportions

sit upon; and wall paper and carpets in which every color of the
rainbow clashes and jars in a discord that fairly skaters ones ner-
vous system. Harmony is the keynote of her household and it pre-
walls in the furnishing, no matter how simple they may be; in the
serving of her meals, whether she keeps three servants o r none, and
in an atmosphere impossible to define, but that all must feel who
come within her doors. These are the possibilities of the school Of
domestic science, but the degree of proficiency that its pupils attain
lies wholly with the individual.
If material inducements will serve to stimulate the young women
who will enjoy the privileges of the Corn expositions Model Kitchen
wonderful results should be expected, for the exposition management
has provided a prize list proportionate in its generosity with the
other things offered. Ranges, sewing machines, gold watches, sew

assortment of enamel kitchen ware and a score of other things APP
pear on the prize list to be awarded for the preparation of foods.
Any of these things are well worth the ten days work independent

Care for Young Women

Providing suitable entertainment for the young women who will
attend the laboratory during their stay in Omaha is necessarily an
important question, but this, too, the exposition authorities have met
and solved admirably. An advisory board has been appointed, in
Guiding nine prominent women of Nebraska and Iowa, of which Mrs.
George Sheldon, wife of Governor Sheldon, is chairman. The other
members are Mrs. Henry H. Van Brunt of Council Bluffs, Mrs. G..
W. Wattles, wife Of President Wattles of the exposition; Mrs. George
Tilden, vice president of the Omaha Young Women's Christian asso-
citation; Mrs. H. H. Baldrige, Mrs. Ella Squires. Mrs. Arthur d.
Brandeis. all of Omaha; Mrs. w. c. Lambert of South Omaha and
Mrs. Bertha v. Thompson of Newport, Neb. These women have ar
ranged for lodging and chaperonage that must meet the approval of
any parent and also insure a pleasant as well as a safe visit for the
young women.
To this women's advisory board has also been left many of the
other details so important in providing for such an enterprise as
the Corn exposition. The Young Women's Christian association of
Omaha has volunteered it's assistance and will detail special secre-
taries to chaperone the visiting girls. 1t has also engaged lodgings
in some of the best homes of the city for the free entertainment of
a limited number. The Sisters Of Mercy will also help and will
reopen their convent at Eighteenth and Cass streets, the old st.
GATHERINGS academy, where a dormitory with sisters in charge will
be maintained. This entertainment will cost the young women moth
ing. Chaperones will also be provided for any other entertainment
that may be extended the girls.
To Harriet Beecher Stowe and Catherine Beecher domestic sci
ence is really beholden for its very inception. They first broke
ground, sowed the seed and through long and soul-wearying years
cultivated the tender shoots which have at length developed into
in the grove of science. Mrs. Stowe, famous as the author of Uncle

Chicago, May 11.-That the west is
at last outstripping the east in the
development of public utilities is evil
denced by the selection of Chicago as
the headquarters of the independent
telephone interests and the chief man
ufacturing center for both Bell and
independent apparatus. Twenty years

nomenal growth of the country since
then has reversed conditions. What
this growth has been in one branch is
Interestingly summarized by a writer
IN one of the current magazines.
The Bell report for 1907 shows that
there are now nearly 100000 sub
scribers, or stations, in that system"
says the Saturday Evening Post. THE
number of local messages averages
lS,OOO,O00 a day, the number of long
distance messages nearly half a mil
lion daily. Many more long distance
messages are sent by telephone than
by telegraph. Gross earnings of the
various Bell exchanges amounted to
SIPS 100000 last year COMPARING, for
example, with $33,00O,000 gross earn
ings of the Western Union telegraph).
The report gives actual value of Bell
plans and working capital as $3.50 ,000,-
600. If reports from the Independent
companies were available these fig
ures would be enlarged considerably;
and this is nearly all creation of the
last 20 years.

ADVERTISING u. !.
FOR RAILROAD
TRANSPORTATION
QUESTION OF ITS LEGALITY AR
GUED IN FEDERAL COURT
IN CHICAGO.
MUST RAILROADS COLLECT AC,
TUALLY "CASH MONEY" FOR
PASSENGER FARES?

Chicago, May 1.-THE suit brought
by the government against the MonOn
Route came up for argument before
Judge Kohlsaat in the United States
circuit court today. The suit is a pc.
tition filed by the government to en-.
join the Monon Route from accepting
advertising in payment for transpor
tation. 1t raises generally the ques
ton whether, under the Hepburn law
it is necessary for railroad company
to collect it's passenger rates in mon.
ey. The position of the government is
that the effect of the law is to require
the railroad company to publish its
schedules in which rates are stated in
money, and that nothing else can be
accepted in payment for the charges
as stated in the schedules,
The railroad company claims that it
may accept from passengers not only
money, but anything else at the valu,
alton which it sees fit to put upon it.
Another feature of the case is that
the transportation is issued under a
yearly contract, and there is no pro
vision in the contract as to the time
when the advertising is to be inserted
in the periodical. The government
claims that this renders the standard
by which the charges are measured
absolutely indefinite and uncertain. 4,
The case is a test case brought on a
state of facts which is typical of ar
engagements which the government be.
lieves to exist between all of the
great railways of the country and nu.
merous publications. 81
For the government the case will be
presented by Mr.. Sims, United States
attorney; Mr.. Wilkerson, special as.
sistant United States attorney, and L.
A. Shaver, solicitor for the interstate
commerce commission. The Monon
will be represented by Messrs. E. c.
Field, G.. w. Kretzinger and H. r
Kurrie.
