The great success of the series of free lectures which are being given in the various public school buildings in Milwaukee by one of the most noted teachers of cooking in the world is gratifying to those who believe In utilizing the schoolhouses for the bene- fit of all the peopie. ‘The thousands of women and girls who have attended the lectures have necessarily learned a great deal that hey never knew before about house- keeping.
