THE SPECTATOR 23 ECHOES FROM KITCHEN BENEFITS OF DOMESTIC SCIENCE. The strides which have been made in Domestic Science have been remarkable. Comparatively few years ago, it was not in the course of studies of the very best High Schools in the country. Today every first class High School has a Domestic Scienc e course, which every girl has to take during her hgh school career. Girls in our High School are required to take it during their Eighth Grade and Freshman years. This is an advantage because they see the importance of it early in life and want to continue with the work. Some think that the study of Domestic Science is not necessary. That the girls can cook at home. There are many girls who never cooked at home and had no desire to learn oecause their mothers or maids do the work. But since seeing the Domestic Science rooms and the neat, white uniforms worn by the girls, nearly all express a desire to take this study. Before Domestice Science was installed in this High School over half the girls disliked sewing, and a great many could not do their own mending or sew on a machine. Now these same girls, after a few months of in-structions.have become so enthused, that they display their work with great pride. The demand for Home Economy teachers is great and the demand in the future will be greater because now High Schools are installing the course. If a person chooses Domestic Science as a profession and does not care to teach school she can secure a position as dietitian in a hospital, conduct a lunch room or a caffeteria, or a tea room. The foreign countries too have asked American instructers to come over and teach them food conservation and the process of canning. This study is the most practical one that a girl could take. Boys learn different trades so why shouldn’t girls learn the trade of home making. It is surprising how little, girls learn in their own homes. To be taught the quickest and best means of cooking is an opportuntiy that all girls should take advantage of. In all lines of work, employers want people who have specialized to fill the various positions. To specialize in t oo ving, sewing, manual training, electricity, chemistry, music, etc., or any other line means that you are of special value to the community into which you go. RUTH MILLIREN, ’22. --------oo-------- ECHOES FROM KITCHEN. The Domestic Science room was the most popular place in the building on the nights of November 20th and 21st, where sandwiches, coffee and candy were sold. A certain school in Scranton certainly benefited by our hard luck for they enticed Miss Vale, our Domestic Science teacher, away from us. But it is an ill wind that blows no good. It blew us Miss Wood who is filling Miss Vale’s place very successfully. It is the early bird that catches the worm but this happended to be a fish. Eipht o’clock is not early to come to school, especially if baked fish is the reason—or so the second year class thinks. A dinner was served in the Domestic Science room on Friday February 6th. Mr. Kurtz, Mr. Rhodes and Mrs. Houchens were the guests. MENU. Baked White Fish Baked Potatoes Buttered Peas Baking Powder Biscuits Sliced Peaches Cakes Cocoa No evil effects have as yet been reported.

25 THE SPECTATOR POETRY LONESOMENESS. Lonesome—one little word. But, Oh! wliat it means. A word that portrays A thousand sad dreams. k Picture a dog and his master so gruff. v'hu beat and treated him ever so ’•ough; Until the time came that they must „in l art, When the dog died with a broken heart. Picture a mother all wrinkled and gray Her sons at the front, fighting day oy day; Her heart—Oh so weary war soon laid to rest But God only knew ’twas from lonesomeness. So when you are treated with scorn Think of the others who are forlorn When you are lonesome and blue There are others as lonesome as you. Lonesome—one word But, Oh, what it means A word that portrays A thousand sad dreams. RITBY HINES. ’21. --------oo------- OUR WAR PRESIDENTS. Washington is our father The founder of the U. S. A. He laid the comer stone And it will last for aye. Lincoln is our savior He made our country one He saved us from division And is loved by everyone. Wilson is now our President He served through the Great World War He did his best for our gallant boys. And he’s a man that w'e adore. ETHYLLE TIMBERLAKE, ’20. -‘THE RECRUITS.” They came from all classes. From North, East, South and West, To give their lives for freedom, A cause which they loved best. They fought with determination. As al1 good soldiers do; And in the end, they saved the flag. The old red. white and blue. DAVID BURKETT, ’22. --------oo-------- VALENTINE.
