At the meeting of the American Home Eeonomic assoclation in Boston last Christ- mas 1,400 persons were present. That is a fair gauge of the growth of interest in the subject during (he last ten years. New York state has within th years established three state agricultural schools in additior to Cornell. All three have de- partments of home economics. Cornell it- self is ebout to put In an elaborate equip- ment for instruction in household econo- mice, including a plant for a commercial bakery and one for a commerclal canning factory President Schurman believes it will opetiup new and lucrative occupations for women. A prolonged campaign by the women's clubs of the state preceded this action at Cornell. Teachers' college in its new million dol- lar bullding gives now a two years' course n the handling and management of the household and commissary ~departments of big institutions like asylums, college dormitories and hospitals, it has al- ready more applications for women ta take charge of such work than it can fill. The usual salary offercd is $1,000 a year and expenges, which is a good deal more than #chool teachers average in the grades and & very good salary to ommand after two years' {raining. Such salarles are not pald merely for cooking. Domestic science is something far wider than that. They are pald for keep- ing down household cxpenses, for getting valus out of money, for serving better and more nutritious food on less money. than was used before, for knowing how to mar- ket, how 10 run a house. The University of Illinois has a com- modious dwelling house as a part of its equipment for domestic sclence in which students are Instructed in every branch of the care, decoration and cost of run- ning & house. All the western state uni- versities and many others, practically all the agricultural colleges, many state nor- mal schools, and great numbers of colleges and other institutions of higher. learning, east as well as west, now Include depart- ments of domestic sclence. 3 In 1890 domestic sclence was taught in only eleven schools in New York city, all elementary - scheols in Manhattan. It 1s now taught fh 174 elementary schools of the various boroughs, and in the last year the board of education voted to extend it to all the high schools, In some of which it was already installed. This is u sample of the way In which this new branch of education has' spread in the public schools all over the country during the last ten years. o and Universities Take it Up. In Newark they started in 102 with two aail classes, ‘which worked at boards lald across wooden supports, with- no. sinks, faucets or (refrigerator. At the end’ of six weeks the ‘puplls cooked and served: a. course dinner. to. the board. of education, whose members were: present - during ‘the breparation of the meal. That settled it. Newark has now fourtsen well equipped kitchens in its schools and, miore mre ad- ded every year. Qe school trustes in as other city after reading: a; little pamphlet written by the director of cooking on he Mission of the Ideal Woman" wrote: “Could all motkers be like. the ideal woman wo should need no truant schools, no defective classcs and no part time, classes,” thus ingenuously A laying the blame for not dnly truants and défectives, but also for lack of space in’the school houses on the bad cooking of the mothers. The' extension. work of various univer- sities In household science is surprising. The University of Illinois sent its lec- turers in inis wubject to sixty other in- stitutions in the last year. It holds.an annual school' fo: housekeepers: twd ‘weeks' in duration, und at the, last.oné thirty-one counties of the stale were represented among the pupils. In Wisconsln the State university glyes courses ‘of lectures ‘and. demonstrations in cocking at farmers' insttutes and -held e —— Ointment have no rivals worth For af- afiefimdh and scalp and old that tor- “|er ‘mother, & bakers' institute for professional bakers, Housekeepera’ conferences, with demonstra- tons In the model kitchen of the ui- | versity, are hetd by the University of Mis- ourl, and the model kitchien Is 50 arranged that it can be transferred to any point { where its use is required. / Kansas State Agricultural college issues bolletins on bread making and other do- mestic subjects and holds lectures and demonstration courses in different parts of | the state, sixteen of them last year. lowa State Agricultural college gives such courses at farmers' institutes, women's clubs, county fairs, teachers' institutes, schools and colleges. One member of the college faculty gave in seven recent months 22 such lectures outside the college. In Colorado the State Agricultral college holds extension courses one week in length all over the state, for which a fee of §1 1s charged each pupil. The average num- ber of women attending such courses is 200. | At one held in winter in a mining camp women walked to and from the class through the snow from points three miles distant. &es in Rallroad Cars. Cornell Instituted the reading course for tarmers’ wives, which has now 11,800 mem- bers; it has organized rural women's clubs for the study of domestic and cultural sub- jects, and holds an annual home makers' conference during farmers' week at the college, with exhibits of the model kitchen, laundry equipment and labor-saving de- vices of the homs economics department of the university and lectures and dem- onstrations by members of the staff. Two southern states have developed the most Ingenious system of taking the gospel of good cookery to the people. Maryland Agricultural college bought the second hand private car of a railroad superintendent, containing kitchen, hot water device and lockers for stores. It was fitted up with chairs, blackboards and stereopticon, with an apparatus for making acetylene gas for the latter. This car runs through the country to glve lectures on ' domestic sclence and agriculture. Miss Anna Bar- rows of Teachers' college has made’ lec- ture trips on this car. The North Carolina Department of Agri- culture runs two similar cars, which are furnished and hauled free of charge by one of the raliroads of the state. These ars were used for thirty institutes last year, one of them being used for the agri- cultural lectures and the other for domestic sclence work. The report of the superin- tendent declared that the results were speclally satisfactory with the latter car. These cars come the nearest of anything in America to the traveling cooking schools of Germany and the traveling college of Italy ‘in whichi theé Department of Agri- culture sends instruction to the farmers. This new moverent for sclentitic instruc- tion’ in " housework jumped, directly from America to Japan. Miss' Ume Teuda’s Eng- lish_fnstitute in Toklo is ‘one, of the three priviate institutions for higher-education in Jagan whose graduates rdcelve government license to teach in secondary schools with- out further examination. Miss Tsuda spent thirteen years in America. completing her education by a post-graduate course at Bryn Mawr. Her domestic sclence de- partment, ‘the first in Japan, Is under the charge of Miss Yoshi Kawashima, a gradu- ate of Simmons college in Boston. With huhdreds of teachers being tralned in the universities, with thousands ot housewives in attendance at university ex- tension courses, and with milllons of girls taking housework as part of their public school course, it seems likely that cooking and’ housekeeping are- going to improve very signally in the United States. It is really a new thing in the history of the| world' that the. taxpayers' money should be used to teach women how (6 Keep house. Phis capture of publc furds for such a purpose 1s due to ‘the womén: themselves. “ Originated in'the Beecher Brain. «It-originated with .American .women and in the Beecher brain. 8o far as any in- vestigator has been able to discover Cath- erine Beecher's Hartford Female seminary, opened in 1821, was the first school 4n the world to, teach ,girls anything about the care of the home. This was sixty-two years betore the first public school kitchen opened in America. ‘The book published by Catherine in collaboration with her tamous sister, Harriet, in 1840, was likewise the first book of the kind on the subject of dombestio sclence. Some things fn that book make quaint reading nowddays. In her preface Cath- erine deposed that men can secure “di- plomas, certificates or other, credentials which, will fix their authority to speak on &ny’ glven subject.” But no such source ex- {sts from which she may draw, credentlals, and . therefore she-is obliged to state what authority she has.to speak on:the matter, Bhe therefore, relates her training under “her’ aunt and her stepmother and tells’ What good cooks and housekeep- ers they all' were. The whofs movement for the iicorpora- tion of domestic sclence in the educational system is essentially only a carrying out of the idea of the Beecher sisters as ex- pressed in this paragraph. The book- opens with a chapter on “The Christian Family,” and goes on to “The Christian Home." It treats of every house- hold théime from the moulding boards to the care of the sick, from rolling pins to sanitation, ventllation, dressmaking, care ot infapts, domestic amusements, soclal duties and the training of children. Each branch. of which. it trcats has now a highly speciulized literaturé of Its own; nay, salads, soups, each feature of the menu has its own lterature, “When the -other sex,” continues the preface, “are ‘Lo be instructed In law, medicine or dlvinity they are favored with numerous institutions, richly endowed, with teachers of the highest talents and ac- quirements, with extensive libraries and abundant and costly apparatus. With such advantages they devote nearly ten of. the best years of their ljves to prepare them- selves for their professton. 'Woman's profession embraces the care and nursing of the body at the ecritical periods of infancy and sickness; the train- ing of the human mind in the most impres- sible period of childhood, and most of the government and economics of the family sta The duties of woman are as sacred and important as any ordained to man and yet no such advantages for prepara- tion have been accorded her." A pupll of Teachers' college recently took various fabrics ‘into her laboratory, and produced a sclentifio report, which wi Dpublished, accompanied with photographi In which she showed the residue remsining of those fabrics after she had treated them With chemicals. She showed the linen re- malning in & “pure linen” towel, after her chemicals had removed the cotton; the wool left in an “all wool” dress fabric, after the cotton In it had traveled the same path. Her report was made to dem- onstrate the need for government labels 1o show genuine fabrics as well as pure food. Poor Catherine Beecher, telling what & good cook her stepmother was, would stand aghast at such work as this. The Beecher pen in this oid book pre- served photographie pictures of American food, customs and family. lfe sixty or elghty years ago, which make it one of the most interesting cook books ever written. The sisters compare forelgn conditions with those at home. “The tours ist in England at the quletest isn can set & mutton chop done to & turn, & cholee. pot of marmalade, & slice of cold ham, %004 tea, delicate rolls and creamy butter. 1n Fraunce one' never aska In vain for de- liclous eafe au lait, good broad and butter A nice omelet or some savory little portion of meat. But for the country tourist in | America what is the prospect? What I« the coffee? What ths tea and the meat? And above all—the butter? This In IM0, while woman's sphere was #till the sacred stove, It may seem to in- dicate that the American woman could not cook even before she went to 8chool or wanted (o vote. Indeed the book through- out refers in gloomy terms to the cullnary abllity of those grandmothers whe held up as models and examples today. Filrst School Kitchen. In 188 Boston women asked the’privi- lego of fitting up a room in the basement of the Tennyson street public school as a kitchen, and providing instruction in do- mestic sclence at thelr own expenss. The superintendent of buildings demurred, and finally granted them only a portion of the spaco they asked for. This room de- veloped into Boston School Kitehen No. 1, | the first in the world. At the end of two years the city itself was running four sckool Kkitchens and instructing 1,400 girls, This has been the history all over the country. Invariably women outside the school, usually club women, have pushed the Introduction of the subject against more or less indif- ference or opposition on the part of school boards. About 180 a New York woman, Miss Emily Huntington, concelved a new idea in the education of small children. This was the kitchen garden, based on the idea of the kindergarten. In this, with diminutive furniture and to the accom- paniment of little games and songs, chil- dren learned to do all sorts.of house- | work. A number of New York women, includ- ing Miss Huntington and Miss Grace Dodge, organized the Kitchen Garden as- sociation, to open these lttle kitchen gardens for teaching small children house- work. This was actually the origin of the great Teachers' College, with its $1,000,000 plant. In 1884 the Kitchen Garden assocla- tion was transformed into the Industrial Education essoclation, with the object of securing instruction in all domestio sub- Jects “in the public schools. No teachers in these subjects could be found, and so the assoclation opened a tralning school for them which developed Into Teachers College. The agricultural colleges of the west took the lead in opening departments of domestic sclence and the thing is now gen- eral. Some far seeing persons can perceive in this movement the process of transforming an unskilled trade into @ profession. A woman college graduate will not be a cook But she will cook ail day in front of a class. It {s not the cooking she objects to, but the social rank. In the new profession she ranks as a ‘teacher and when she is Invited to a house she goes in at.the front door. Exactly what Florence Nightingale did for Mrs. Gamp when she Invented the profession of trained nursing the leaders In the household, economics movement are doing for the houseworker. Despite all complaints of private house- keeping in the past and Present some of the authorities declares it is likely that no class of untrained workers for whom thewe Wwas no apprentice system and no trade schools anywhere, ever did so wel with their work as the housewlves, “Despite all modern facilities, Improve- ments: and methods;”" said Benjamin C, Ancrews, secretary of thé home economics department of ‘Teachers’ college the other day, “the. housewife's bread is still the bes!

In the twelve-inch turret for which the $7.000,000 floating fortress was built, were | twelve ‘men. . Eleven were there on busi- ness—the grim and dangerous business ot firing those monster guns. The twelfth man also was there on business, but a business entirely different from that of the others. He was bent on securing moving pictures of the blg guns in action. The others did their bést to discourage him by telling him their own harrowing experi- encell ‘and how' many men had been anni- hilated in just such a place at just such a time on other. batileships. But" the ‘pho- tographer was not to be discouraged. He lost no time In getting down to his busi- ness of photography just as they got down to theirs of firing the great guns. Unfortu- nately he was more fearless than discreet, for.after obtaining some of the most start- ling and spectacular -scenes ever photo- graphed he became a little too thoughtl of his surroundings. A shot was fired when he wasn't looking. He did not know it was loaded. They discovered him, unconscious, under the gun-carriage and took him limp and_maimed to the hLospital. His firet question after consclousness retirned was, “Where's my camera?’ The; the cherished mechanism. claimed with a sigh of relief, He knew he had succeeded.
