STUDENTS COOK
The BREAKFAST
Domestic Science Class Gets
Practical Work.

Mothers, cooks and others who are
in the habit of preparing the break
fast every morning for the school
children of their home, that is, the
homes that have maidens taking the
Domestic Science course at the high
school, were forced to sit down and
watch this morning while THE
Miss" of the house prepared the
morning meal.
Domestic Science students were in
structed to do this by Miss Brandon
the teacher of the new study on the
high school curriculum. While MAX
ing this breakfast the students were
supposed to make note of time taken
to prepare the meal, and to make 1t
as economical as possible. That Is
the real purpose of the course. They
we're further instructed to make a
breakfast for four persons, SO In a
family of thirteen, nine would nave
to wait until a second and third
breakfast was prepared or else sur
fee with the contents OF the bread
box. Only the dainties which they
had learned since starting the course
included the breakfast. In a case Oh
a family with two representatives In
the cooking class, the other one Is
allowed to prepare her breakfast
later.
In a few week the girls with the
white aprons and caps will again pre-
pare the same menu which they had
this morning. Then however, In h
presence of their instructor, Miss
Brandon who will afterwards marx
them on the time and cost OF n
meal for four people. In reality this
is an improved form Of examination
which is gradually coming into prac-
tice In all schools. 1t will not be a
final examination but just a test for
work already covered.
