The classes in cooking are the
same as in sewing as regards num-
bers, but the subject is confined to
the eighth grade and high school.
The eighth grade has one period a
week of eighty minutes. The first
work taken up is with the food
classes. First come the proteid
foods. such as eggs, milk, cheese
and meats. Next come the carbo-
hydrates, such as vegetables and
sugars. The fats are taken up, in.
Guiding chocolate, butter and fatty
meats. The other classes are studied,
but not dealt with practically. Com
blnations of food principles are con-
sidered, and the different kinds of
bread and simple cakes baked.
The high school girls devote
eighty minutes four times a week to
the work. and take it up both prac-
tically and theoretically. They are
taught to cook anything of a prac-
tlcal nature. such as is served in the
ordinary wholesome meal The food
principles are taught, and more of
the theory gone into.
Not a great amount or variety of
cookery exhibits can be shown i'm the
exhibit, because of their perishable
nature, but the different kinds of
bread are shown, and the different
ways OF preparing bread doughs.. and
there are exhibits of doughnuts,

Thirty-Eight in Glass.
There are thirty-eight high school
girls in the class, and they have
been working since Thanksgiving, ap-
plying eighty minutes once week
to the work. The making of under
wear is taken up first, and shirt
waists are next made, and dresses
of cotton fabric. The girls by the
time they conclude this work can
do almost any ordinary needle work.
They are taught the running, basting,
overcasting, overhanding and hem
ming stitches, and the combination
stitch. In the seventh grade only
hand sewing is taught, but in the
more advanced classes the girls are
taught the use of the sewing ma
chine. Fancy work is not taught, the
object being to give the girls good.
practical knowledge of needle work.
All of the pupils of the eighth
grade and high school classes have
individual exhibits, and they show
careful work and demonstrate that
this feature of their education has
been well looked after. The eighth
grade work shows up particularly
well.
