THE BC'lIOOh OP THE COOK. t \Vns Opened Yesterday In tlio , .nlRltiiildliiK on tlio Kill. ' . Yesterday nbout . fifty prospective house- vlvcs , thpugh at 'present girls In the High chool , took their first lesson In the homo art of baking bread. They walked 0 the kitchen , without , however , ho npron and caps they will wear vhcn the class 1 * well under way In Its work. L'hcy found thu room In tlio basement at the ntorsection of the two corridors * A bright icw range , which had just been put In | H > MIen | - Ion , stood In the north end of the room , while n the couth stood an array of shelves m which were disposed a variety of hous * . lold utensils which had never done duty save In n hardware or furnishing store. The rirls were met by the teacher , Miss Clara tlnnn , who spoke to them nlwut the object of he class , what It was exacted to nccotn * ilish and what would bo expected of hem while attending it. These ciunrks were of an Informal order , and after they hud been delivered the class was llsmlsscd till to-morrow morning. Shortly after n Bui : reporter called upon Miss Mann and found her pleased to speak ibout the new addition to tlio curriculum of the school. There are to bo three classes , jach consisting of twenty members. They will bo drawn from the high schoolthc eighth gradoand the post graduate class. Each class will spend about an hour and a half at the work , commencing 10:150 : o'clock in the morning , and continuing until 4 o'clock in the ifternoon. Miss Mann seems to fell the ab sence of tables and other articles Intended For use , which would give the room something of the appearance of a culinary apartment. Their absence was owing to the : tmllness of the carpenters. The tables or jonches are to run lengthwise with the room md supplied with drawers. In the after the young bread-makers will teep their utensils , which comprise in assortment of rolliiiL'-pins , potato-mash ers , sieves , grates , egg-boaters , ladles , cups , spoons , knives , tea pots , and a host of other vrticlos , as a rule , more useful than orna mental. The table will bo divided into see- .ions , each girl having a section for Herself , i'liis will bo furnished with gas which may bo used by thu incipient work for 1 number of purposes. One set of utensils will bo used by two girls , each of whom will DC obliged to keep them in good condition and > lace them away in safety in the drawers and closets provided for them under the bench or table. Miss Mann says that her bobby is plain 'ooking ' and her neophytes will make their first attempt in the brunch to-morrow. She did not know exactly how she would dispose } f t\io \ * material which would come from lier oven , but the girls would not liako in very large quantities. Miss Mann seems to bo n lady capable of satisfactorily licrforming the duties of her otllce , and will doubtless find favor with her scholars.
