THE ART OF COOKING As It is Taught in the City Public Schools. THE LACK OF HOME TRAINING What -is Seen in a Visit to the Cooking Schools. . —_—_—-—_—_—- PALATABLE DISHES O NCE UPON A TIME, if cne learned “read- in’, ’ritin’ and spell- av’ at school one was getting a liberal education, and, for women, that was rather more than was necessary, because a woman's place was considered to be in the home, and educa- tion was not needed to help her keep house. A fallacy that is now exploded, though it kept Mary, the mother of Washington, an ignorant wo- man, so far as books were concerned, “as there was so much expense attached to ble for desk purposes, ghairs for the pupils, an ice chest, a kitchen or work table and the sink, which has both hot and cold wa- ter. The hard-wood floors are oiled or stained and are carpetless. Those are the characteristic features of the seventeen schoois. ‘Miss Jacobs has an allowance amounting to $0) a year for sipplies and groceries for each of the schools. Some of the schools will only take 370, @) few run up to $05 but the average is about $0). Of this sum, about $10 is requiretl tg replace broken and worn-out utensils" each year for each school. The remainder of the sum is spent for groceries, which are purchased in the small quantity needed each day. The teachers do the buying from the nearest point by means of a pass book and order book. The order is written out and sent to the grocer who et the material, and the bills as certified orf the order books are sent to the Commissioners, who pay them. ‘The recipes used in the cooking school are made on the scale for a family of six adults. Only one recipe is attempted each day—bread one day, broiling angther, roast- ing another, and so on. There are three es ea day, and each class averages fifteen pupils. Each class gets cooking in- structions one and one-half hours each week—the one recipe running through the | whole week—and each teacher has taught 5 restless young misses by Friday night, in platoons of fifteen, how to make hash and things. Of course it isn’t all hash, but it must seem ro to the teacher after sh has rehashed her recipes three times a da‘ for five days, and answered the ‘which and “what” and “why” of heedless girls. As each class, has fresh material for its lesson, on the scale of supply for six adults, it will be seen that the sum set aside for the use of the schools is small enough—far too small, in fact—and the teachers are living in hope of greatly in- sending the boys to school that the girls had to be content with home tuition, which was quite enough for to make women good wives,” is the way an old-time chronicler speaks of the literary attainments of Mar Ball. Possibly that was why she was such a master hand at making the seed cakes and mint julep which she gave to La- fayette when he called upon her. As she had not to pester her head with any of the “ologies,” and she and the spelling book seem to have been strangers, it is natural to suppose that she spent the time that must have been plentiful on her hands in learning from her mother those homely arts which made her a notable housekeeper. — It’s All Right } Don’t you lose a min= ute wondering whether your credit is good here or not; come in and get anyt hin g you meed; oi, OR.CHASE’S Blood-Nerve Food fou - Weis! ech Meee axing o> For WEAR a and Roe DOWN PEOPLE. nerves that ure exhausted in these two life-g: by disease, indigestion, high li Oxcesses. abuse, WHAT IT DOE: Fich, and the digestion perfec overwork, Worry, Also a Boon for Women, WHAT IT tS!

The salaries paid range from $500 to $600 a year. All the cooking schools but two housed in school buildings. verything for the running of the cook- ing schools is furnished by the Commis- sioners, and a look around the big barn- like rooms shows that no money is wasted on “new-fangled” domestic accouterments, for everything is of the plainest character and most inexpensive manufacture. In the large schools of Philadelphia and Boston each child has its own little outfit, from a tiny gas stove up, and concocts the S h for itself, so that it knows experiment just exactly what ; May hot be done with certain in- gredients. In the Washington schools the appropriation is entirely too small, and parental interest too languid to permit of such instruction. Plain, but Practical. In the glass-faced dressers against the wall the few dishes and tins are arranged as artistically as possible, with regard to a perfect system, which is rigidly observed from day to day, so that a pupil could go in the dark and place her hand on the ex- act articie she wanted. That teaches the pupils hod, a very necessary habit in housework.

Then there are written instructions how the dish- washers shall proceed to do their part of the work scientifically; the cishwiper’s duties are fully defined, and the house- keeper for the day told what duties she shall perform and how. Those rules ought to be hung in every kitchen in the country, they are so commonsense and concise. On the boards are tables of weights and meas- ures for cooking, and cook observations; there is a pair of scales and a clock to time every proc ‘At one of the schools the s process of demonstration was breadmak- ing. The girls were deeply interested in learning that some brands of flour make better pastry than others, and that a flour’ that made good cake might be very bad "for breadmaking. How many old-school housekeepers in Washington know that, do you suppose? And how many go on buy- ing one brand of flour to make everything out of, notwithstanding it will not make good bread, or f when pies are to be manufactured? Those girls, none of them over fourteen, can tell you how yeast grows, the difference between its “raising” qualities and those of soda, baking powder and cream of tartar. As far as possible, the pupils in the cook- ing schools are taught housekeeping as well as cooking, but the facilities are in- adequate, and sweeping, dusting and clean- ing are about all that they can actually do, the rest being theory. The young ladies furnish nothing but their sleeves, aprons and holders. They are encouraged to test their capabilities at home, but the teachers say that not much can be done in that direction, because capable mothers push their daughters aside, not liking the ject under rew-fangled notions of “measuring” in- stead of “guessing” at proportions, and because they do not like to wait on the slower motions of the younger cooks, while the servants openly rebel at the “nosing” around in their dominions. The girls usually like the pastry work, which is taught in the second year, but do uot like cooking meats so well. Several times during the year they give little lunches or dinners, to which they invite a few friends to test their cooking, and the guests usually go away much surprised and pleased at the degree of proficiency at- tained. The teachers have made and sold candy enough to enable them to buy a pretty set of Haviland china, table linen and silver for six covers, and once or twice during the year the pupils are permitted—a class at a time—to give a three or four-course din- ner, so that the art of serving and the order of courses may be learned by actual experience. Once each month the teach- ers of cooking hold a meeting to compare notes and methods and suggest improve- ments in the system.
