Hnratinnal Enmeztir Srivnre Domestic Science has been introduced into almost all of the high schools of the State, and has proved to be a very valuable study for these reasons: QU It gives the girl a general knowledge of food and how it should be prepared. C22 It interests many girls in cooking and house- keeping who otherwise would know nothing about it. Q31 The system used in the public schools is necessarily systematical and economical. The Ladoga School Board realized this, and at the beginning of the school year 1915-16 they caused the old seminary building to be properly equipped as a kitchen. They secured Mrs. Werts as a teacher and about 97 per cent. of the high school girls took advantage of the opportunity offered. The equipment consists of eight porcelain tables, one porcelain cab- inet, two sinks, eight two-burner coal oil stoves, two coal oil ranges, with ovens, a refrigerator, and two 'cabinets in which aprons are kept. Each table is equipped with utensils for two girls, thus making it possible to have a class of sixteen at one time. There have been lessons on the preparing of food, and also the serv- ing of it, which is almost as important. Each girl has been required to keep a note book containing all recipes tested at school and much other valuable information. These were al- u.' 1 ways open for public inspection, so that everyone could see what was be- ing done. V Several luncheons were served during the year, all of which were voted a success by the guests. Early-in the year the Seniors served I2 o'clock luncheon to the Schood Board. The menu was as follows: Creamed Chicken on Toast Mashed Potatoes Cabbage a la Surprise Waldorf Salad Tapioca Cream Peanut Cream Coffee D One other very interesting thing was the serving of a school lunch at which baked beans, brown bread sandwiches and hot chocolate were offered at a very low cost. This was prepared by the Seniors in their regular class and all was in readiness at II : 50, when fifty-five of the stu- dents responded to the delightful odor from the kitchen and certainly did justice to the food prepared. Of course, one cannot complete the course in a single year, but after an entire high school course in Domestic Science I think every girl will have acquired a knowledge that will be of great benefit to her.

will nf the Qllaaz nf 1915 NV e, the class of 1916, after careful consideration, realizing the woe- ful and incomprehensible short-comings of the Seniors Qto bej, donate, with liberal hearts and magnanimous spirits, the following blessings to mankind. We, to' whom wise thoughts are as frequent as ripples upon an ocean, we, after leaving this hall of knowledge scatter our thoughts to those poor unfortunate school-mates, who have still one year of unending toil, before they are ready to be launched 'into the sea of knowledge. Of course a few of the honorable Seniors Cto bej will be a little dis- appointed in their blessings, but it is the best we could do and therefore should be appreciated. First, we will give Russell Ashby's great musical talent to George Heighway. Lilah Bradley's popularity to Dwight Kiem. Sallie Clark's and Thelma Roberts' loyalty toward woman suffrage to whosoever wants it. Kyle Mayhall's beard to Albert Alfrey. james Havens' basketball captainship to Herbert Gibson.
