AN EXPERIMENTAL SCHOOL.
A New Departure by an Australian
Educator.

At Brighton on the Sands, a marine
suburb of Sydney, Australia, is a new
school, designed on model architectural
lines, which was founded two years age
by Mr.. Board, director of education
| for the state ofiNeW South Wales. Mr.
Board believes that the curriculum OF
public schools involves the expenditure
of an inordinate amount of time upon
purely theoretical education, and wished
to demonstrate that if only half the
| .ordinary time was devoted to theoret-
zeal instruction and the rest to sub
| iect'' Instruction children would get
on as well in general education, while
at the same time receiving a practical
objective education. &C.
| 1t is a ones story building, standing
in four and half acres of land, and
has accommodations for about 450 pu-
pills. The conspicuous feature from an
outward inspection is that it looks as
though it were built of glass. On ems
tering the school one is surprised to
find himself in a gymnasium. The cen
ter of the school consists Of a large
hall with tanbark floor plentifully
provided with all sorts of gymnastic
apparatus. .s- Fri rua --.
Opening off this gymnasium, on each
side, are a number of classrooms, so
constructed that their outer walls con-
sist of series of glass panel windows,
swung to open outward 10 a right angle,
so that each classroom is open to the
air. The doors by which the rooms are
entered from the gymnasium are con-
structed on similar principles, so that
when both doors and windows are open
the air has an unobstructed circulation
right through the whole building, which
is thus converted into what is practi-
cally a huge open-air school
For a certain period in each day the
children are allowed to exercise on the
bars, swinging or horizontal ladders,
and other gymnastic appliances. These
exercises are conducted in such way
as to increase the muscular and chest
capacity of the children and develop
their physique generally. Care is taken
that no boy or girl Shall occupy any
department of the gymnasium exclus-
lively and become "star' performer
while Others not so proficient have to
stand and wait.
During the morning session the school
is largely devoted to theoretical instruc-
ton usual in an ordinary primary
school. The afternoon is devoted
mainly to "subject' instruction. 1t
has been found that the mind of a
child becomes rapidly exhausted, and
that after certain period of applica-
ton its receptive force fails. If the
child is kept at mental exercise too
long, his work becomes not only useless,
but actually injurious to his mental de,
yelopment
The object of this school is to cease
mental exercises before the period of
exhaustion commences, and to switch
the pupils onto exercises which develop
their muscular system and their power

COOKING, THEN AND NOW.
The Modern Daughter Thinks She

hnOWo 1t AL.
Really a rather trying situation ex-
lists in many an American household
one that has already caused no little
hurt feelings, if not actual misunder.
standing Fortunately the American
housewife, both Of the present genera
ton and of the last, IS too big hearted
and too wide in her interests, to let
the feeling engendered rancor long
within her And this is what the lit
tie trouble is all about
Mother learned how to cook some
twenty five or thirty years ago and
mother is a good cook and prides her
self on the fact And mother cooks
much the way her mother cooked and
the way women have cooked for. gen
erations. She didn t always use the
same size measuring cup In fact, she
became so expert in many things that
/ she didn t use any measure at adjust
threw the ingredients together with in
finite skill and got the desired results.
And she never used scales, save the
clumsy stilliards when canning, and she
would as soon test boiled icing with a
sugar thermometer as she would meas
ure an eighth of teaspoon of salt.
And daughter would do both.
For. daughter, being Of the present
generation, has gone to cooking school
and has learned a lot of new ideas about
things. She talks about peetin when
she makes jam, and she knows just
about how many calories of food she
Is getting into each meal she cooks She
uses words that mother never heard
of and gets a lot of new utensils when
she has to take n hand in the cooking.
And the worst of it is that she cooks
very well, too. If she doesn't get
quite the flavor that mother does she
never spoils any materials, and when
mother throws away the drippings
from the roast or the ham fat she feels
as guilty as a child who has robbed
the Jam closet. And mother doesn t
like to cook when daughter is around
because she feels daughter s scientific
eve upon her and daughter doesn't like
to cook when mother Is near because
mother always has a short cut or has
some suggestion to make. And mother
feels that daughter should take her
suggestions, because hasn't mother
cooked for a quarter of a century, And
daughter feels that mother should be
glad to take her suggestions, because
hasn' t father paid hundreds of dollars

science of cookery and dieteticsa
