SPOHR, given the freedom of her father's farm, was a Food Study enthusiast long before her attempt to interest Stout students along that line. Her mother's kitchen was the laboratory where practical problems in cooking were demonstrated long before scientific reasons were understood. The care of the farm house afforded many experi- ences in various ways which later served as illustrations in Household Management recita- tions. Her school experiences began in a little red frame school house where she learned to read and write and spell and to revere the teacher. The last five years of her school life have been spent in a big red brick schoolhouse where she has had abundant opportunity to get even with mankind-mostly womankind-and where she has tried to pass on what life has given her.
