The womans Civic Club of Holly,
Colo, desiring to help the girls of that
community to become more efficient in
the common duties of housekeeping,
cooperates with the school in the
teaching of household art The plan
is as follows; The girls of the high
school are divided into four classes, as
indicated by the year of the work they
are taking in the high school. AS
many divisions are made of each class
as are necessary to secure the best re-
suits. These divisions met once OF
twice a week at the various homes in
the city, and the girls cook, sew, and
do other household work, such as
washing, sweeping, and busting, under
the direct supervision of the teacher
and the mistress of the house A def
mite outline of the work to be done in
the home is given to the class and also
to the lady of the house, so that she
may have the material and utensils
necessary ready for the use OF the
girls, who do all the work and leave
the house in the same condition as
they found it, washing and drying all
dishes and putting them into their
proper places.
In the latter part Of the course six
or seven of the girls prepare and
serve light luncheon to six or seven
other girls, the outlay of money being
limited. The preparation and serving
oi the luncheon, also the conversation
and manners of the guests, are care
fully criticised by both teacher ami
pupils.
Occasionally the various divisions
visit the grocery store to learn how to
order groceries, the meat market to

Who Invented Ice Cream Z

American tradition has it that Dol
ly' Madison, the Presidents wife, in
vented ice cream, and also that Nancy
Johnson, the wife of a young Ameri-
can naval officer, invented the ice
cream freezer. This suggestion is
prompted by gallantry, but it is not
according to facts and truth should
not be sacrificed to galantry Ice cream
was introduced to the English aristoc-
racy of the late eighteenth century by
a London confectioner named Gunton
who may or may not have been it's in
ventor. Dolly Madison, among all the
mistresses of the White House, may
have been the first to serve ice cream
at Presidential receptions, and thus
may have popularized in America a
deiicacy that at that time had been
known to England at least for fifty
years.

While they walked slowly along an

Reducing the Meat Bill

In the April woman's Home Com
panion butcher explains how "swirt
streaks, are cheaper than others, are
in reality just as nutritious and ten
der as any other part of a beef carcass.
But the reader is warned that if a
butcher takes a "skit" steak and tears
it apart, it will not be looked upon as
steak by many people. The point is
made that the success of dishes prepar-
ed from cheap cuts is almost entirely
dependent upon two individuals-the
butcher and the cook.
The butcher who wants to discourage
the purchase of cheap cuts by his Gus
toners will cut the cheaper cuts CO
badly that the best of cooks will be
baffled. The cook who may not be able
to prepare a choice piece of tenderloir
irloin, or porterhouse without destroy
ing its favour will prove unequal t.
handling the cheaper pieces, of course
Many choice piece Of meat is palata-
BILE in spite of the cook and not be-
cause Of her efficiency. There are some
things which are sc fine that they will
survive almost any sort of treatmen;
Skirt steak, shoulder chops, plate corn

ed with special care.

Use Your Dictionary EUery
Day

Writing an article entitled Treasure
in Books" in the April Woman's Home
Companion, Laura Spencer Portor
gives the following excellent advice
about the advantages to be gained
from the study of words:
The study of words: it may sound
to you dry thing, yet l promise You
i: is not, very far from it.
And this brings me to suggest that
the habit Of one of the great writer's OF
studying carefully from a good diction-
airy five words each day is one from
which We might all of us get a go)d
deal of profit. Or take a good book OF
synonyms, for instance, and learn from
it each day five words somewhat SIM
liar comparing and weighing carefully
the meanings and values of them. No
tice the degrees of force in the follow
ing: to dislike, to hate, to loathe, to
detest, to abhor-each note struck is
a little stronger, higher, we might say,
like an ascending crescendo scale. So,
tC instruct, to teach, to educate, are
each quite different in meaning with
great nicely of difference. So, rebuke,
Ireprimand, censure, blame are all of
one color but of how different shades
OF emaning. So, too, misfortune cal
amity, risaster; so, weak, feeble. de-
crepit; and what delicate difference
between fame and renown, or feminine
and womanly and womanish."

The "HoAy Plan" for Teaching Domestic Science

learn to distinguish the different cuts
of meat, the furniture store to plan for
the furnishing of a home the hard
ware store to plan for the purchase OF
kitchen utensils. During the summer
months the work is carried along b.
the mothers in the homes, who follow
the outline the teacher leaves with
the leader of the civic club.
The advantages claimed for the
plan are;
l. There is no need of expensive
school apparatus.
2. The girls learn to cook and do
homework in the home and with the
material and equipment four there
and not in a domestic-science kitchen
with utensils much better than those
found in the average home of the
community The fact that they visit
several homes during the course of
instruction gives the added advantage
% utilizing variety of material under
varying conditions.
8. In every community there are
housewives who are efficient in some
one or other Of the domestic arts, SUCH
as the making of cake, the baking Of
bread, the serving of luncheons and
dinners. Under this cooperative plan
the school girls have the advantage of
the various recipes and methods; also
of the varied instruction the advocates
OF these recipes are able to give. Under
the ordinary plan the domestic-science
teacher would be compelled to give all
this varied nowledge in the classroom
under artificial conditions.
4. 1t is a practical method OF bring
ing the school nearer the people and
os keeping the mothers close to the
girls in their school work.
