for the officers in charge know full
well that the proper Kind of food
cooked carefully plays no small part
IN the mental and physical training of
young men "A place for everything
and everything in its place" is the
motto Of West Points chef. and those
who work under his direction must
follow the same rule or be discharged
Military discipline is everywhere I'm
evidence, and there is none OF that
hustle and searching for things Mt the
last minute when meals are to be
served so often found at our institu.
tions. Every man has his duties and
he must perform them at certain
time without interfering with the work
Of anyone else Almost everything is
prepared by electricity, but man must
be present to touch the lever at the
proper moment. Meals are served
promptly and do not vary FIVE minutes
during the entire year, The cadets
study by schedule. and the chef plays
his part when he has the meals on the
minute.
The prcparation of the food for the
mess is one Of West Points most in
'crcsting features and has been com.
monted on most fayorably bv army
officers from all parts OF the world
Lord Kitchener during his recent visit
spoke IN the most complimentary
terms of the men in charge of the
mess after he had made thorough
inspcctiou of the mysteries Of the cleo.
