Train Girls to Cook,
Food Expert Urges

'"A thorough training in dietetcs, COW
cring chemical composition and hygienic
preparation of foods, will give more
women unfettered happiness than any
other one branch of education"
This was the declaration of Sher-
wood p. snyder in his opening food lee
ture, at The Times-W Wcstfield pure food
show this afternoon.
After the lecture Mr.. and Mrs Snyder
demonstrated a number of recipes.
These included coddled steak. stuffed
baked potatoes, emergency salad South
crn biscuit and date jelly.
Cooking An Art.
Cooking is an art and profession. and
It should always be regarded in that
light Mr. snyder said. However, most
women consider it menial work. char
aCterized S drudgery and thing to
hr disliked. This attitude has been de-
Neloped to some degree because of the
lmprOpeC equipment for the proper pre-
paration Of food and lack of thought
aud scientific research in this direc-
ton.
Personally, | believe that it is just
as important for a woman to study how
intelligently to feed her family as to
study a dead language
when a girl decides she wants to
learn how to trim hats she serves a
period of apprenticeship in millinery
shop for number of months. But
when she chooses the sacred RESPONSE
hility of motherhood. the most blessed
gift of God to womankind she con-
Siders it a waste of time to study how
hest to be able intellgently to prepare
the essentials of life and food for her
family.
when a business man wants a
StcnOEra pher which he may pay from
$40 to $50 a week, he naturally selects
the girl who has spent many months,
and possibly a year, in some business
college in preparation for her work.
"When the business mans wife hires
= cook she maybe pays her s. week.
II she asked her cook very often about
protiCns, carbohydrates, and the like,
that cook. If she had not studied like
ne business girl, would imagine that
her mistress vas swearing at her IN
some foreign language"
