NtW YuRK. April . In 1W0 eleven per
son gathered at th f Irat meeting of the
Lake I'lacld conference on home economic.
At the meeting of the American Home
economic association In Boston last Christ
mas 1.400 persons were present. That Is a
fair gauge of the growth of Interest In
the subject during the lant ten years.
. New York state has within three years
established three state agricultural schools
In addition to Cornell. All three have de
partments of home' economics. Cornell It
self Is about to put In an elaborate equip
ment for Instruction In household econo
mics, including a plant for a commercial
bakery and one for a commercial canning
factory. President Schurman believes It
will open-up new and lucrative occupations
for women. A prolonged campaign by the
women's clubs of the state preceded this
action at Cornell.
Teachers' coIIcr In Its new million dol
lar building gives now a two years' couree
In tho handling and management of the
household and commissary departments
of big Institutions like asylums, college
dormitories and hospitals, and it has al
ready more applications for women tq tske
charge of such work than It can fill. The
usual salary offered Is $1,000 a year and
expenses, which Is a good deal more than
school "teachers average In the grades and
a very good salary to tommand after two
years' training.
Such salaries are not paid merely for
cooking. Domestic science Is something far
wider than that. They are paid for keep
ing down household expenses, for getting
value out of money, for serving better and
more nutritious food on less money- than
was used before, for knowing how to mar
ket, how to run a house.
The University of Illinois has a com
modious dwelling house as a part of Its
equipment for domestlo science In which
students are Instructed In every branch
of the care, decoration and cost of run
ning a house. All the western state uni
versities and many others, praotically 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 domestlo science. . .
In lfcO domestic science was taught In
only eleven schools In New York city, all
elementary schools In Manhattan. It Is
now taught In 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 a. sample
of the way .In which this new branch of
education has spread in the public 'schools
alt over the country during the. last ten
years. ' - - - -
I nlremltlrs Take It Up. '
In Newark they started In 1902 with two
small clasHus, which Worked at boards laid
across wooden sopports, with no tlnks,
faucets or 'refrigerator. At ' the end' of
six weeks the 'pupils cooked and served a
course, dinner . to the board of education..
whose members were-present -during 'the
preparation of the meal.' That settled It
Newark has now fourteen well equipped
kitchens In its schools and, more are ad
ded every year. , Que school trustee in an
other city after reading a, little pamphlet
written by the director of cooking on
"The Mission of'the'Ideal Woman"-wrote:
"Could all mothers, be like - the . Ideal
woman wo should need no truant schools,
no defective classes and no part . time,
classes," thus Ingenuously , laying the
blame for not only truants and defectives,
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 uile subject to sixty other In
stitutions in the last year. It holds . an
annual school' for housekeepers two weeks'
In duration, and at the last, one thirty-one
counties of the state were represented
among the pupils.
In Wisconsin the State university gives
courses of lectures and. demonstrations In
cocking at .farmers' Institutes and holds

Houprkeepeis' conferences, with demonstra

souri, and the model kitchen Is so enantced
that It can be transferred lu any point
where Ita ue Is required.
Kansas State Agricultural college lsues
bulletins on bread making and other do
mestic subjects and holds lectures and
demonstration courses In different parts of
the stste, sixteen of them lsst yesr. Iowa
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
ZK such lectures outside the college.
In Colorado the State Agrleultral college
holds extension courses one week In length
all over the state, for which a fee of $1
Is 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.
Colleges la Hallroad Cars.
Cornell Instituted the reading course for
farmers' wives, which has now 11,800 mem
bers; it has organised 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 home economics department
of the university and lectures and dem
onstrations by members of the staff..
Two southern states have developed the
mobt 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 give lectures on 1 domestic
science 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 railroads of the state. These
cars were used for thirty Institutes last
year, one of them being used for the agri
cultural lectures and the other for domestic
science work. ' The report of the superin
tendent . declared that the results . were
specially 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 which the.' Department of Agri
culture sends instruction to the farmers.
This new movement for scientific Instruction-
in ' housework jumped, directly from
America to Japan. Miss Ume Teuda's Eng
lish Institute in Tokio is one. of the three
private Institutions for higher-education In
Japan-whose graduates receive 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 science de
partment, the first in Japan, Is under the
charge of Mlss.Yoshl Kawashlma, a gradu
ate of Simmons college in Boston.
With hundreds. of teachers being trained
In ' the universities.' with' thousands of
housewives in attendance at university ex
tension courses, and with millions 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 Stares. It' Is
really a new thing In the history of the
world that the taxpayers'' money should
be used to' teach women how to Jceep house.
This capture of public funds for such a
purpose Js due to the women themselves.
" Originated la 'the Beecher Brain.
. It -originated with -American -women and
In the Beecher brain. So far as any in
vestigator has been able to discover Cath
erine, Beecher' Hartford Female seminary,
opened In 18a, was the first school -In the
world to tcaoh .girls anything about the
care of the home. This was sixty-two
years before the first public school kitchen
opened in America. The, book published by
Catherine In collaboration with her famous
sister, Harriet, , In . 1840. was likewise .the
first book of the kind on the subject of
domestlo science. -
Some things in that book make, quaint
reading nowadays. In her preface Cath
erine deposed that men can secure ' di
plomas, certificates or other, credentials
which, will fix their authority to speak on
any' given subject." But no such -source ex
ists from which she may draw, credentials,
and therefore she -Is obliged to state, what
authority she haa -to speak- on the matter,
6ho . therefore, relates , her training under
her "mother, 'her aunt 'and her stepmother
and tells' what good. cooks and housekeep
ers they all were. '
" The whofo movement for the Incorpora
tion of domestic science 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 theme from the moulding boards to
the;care of the sick, from rolling plus to
sanitation, ventilation, dressmaking, care
of Infants, domestlo. amusements, social
duties and the training of children. . Each
branch, of which. It treats has now a
highly spcchiliied literature of Its own;
nay, salads,, soups, each feature of the
menu has Its own literature.
"When the other kex," continues the
preface, "are to be instructed In law,
medicine or divinity 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 lives to prepare them
selves for their profession. -
Woman's profession embraces the care
and nursing of the body at the critical
periods of Infancy and sickness; the train
ing of the human mind In the most Impres
sible period or childhood, and most of the
government and economics of the family
state. 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 pupil of Teachers' college recently took
various fabrics Into h?r laboratory, and
produced a scientlfio report, which was
published, accompanied with photographs,
in wnicn she showed the residue remaining
of those fabrics after she hsd treated them
with chemicals. She showed the linen re
maining In a "pure linen" towel, after her
chemicals had removed the cotton; the
wool left in an "all wool" ureas fabric.
after the cotton In It had traveled the
same path. Her report was made to dem
onstrate the need for government labels
to show genuine fabrics as well aa pure
food. Poor Catherine Beecher, telling what
a good cook her stepmother was. would
stand aghast at such work as this.
The Beecher pen In this oid book pre
served photographic pictures of American
food, customs and family life sixty or
eighty years ago. which make it one of the
most Interesting coak books ever written.
The sisters constantly compare foreign
conditions with those at home. "The tour
ist in England at the quietest lntt can
get a mutton chop done to a turn, a choice
pot of marmalade, a slice of cold ham,
good tee, delicate rolls and creamy butter.
In Franoe one' never asks in vaio for de
lirious cafe au Im it, good bread and butter,
a Hire omelet or some savoiy little portion
of meat. But ffr the country tourist In
America what Is the prospert? What t
the corfeeT What the tea and the meat?
And above all the butter?
This In DUO, while woman's sphere was
still the sacred stove. It may seem to in
dicate that the American woman could not
cook even before she went to school or
wanted to vote. Indeed the book through
out refers In gloomy terms to the culinary
ability of those grandmothers who are held
up as models and examples today.
First School Kitchen.
In 1S83 Boston women asked the' privi
lege of fitting up a room in the basement
of the Tennyson street public school aa a
kitchen, and providing Instruction In do
mestlo science at their own expense. The
superintendent Of bulTdings demurred, and
finally granted them only a portion of
the space they asked for. This room de
veloped Into Boston School Kitchen No. 1,
the first In the world.
At the end of two years the city Itself
was running four school kitchens and
instructing 1,400 girls. This haa been the
history all ' over the country. Invariably
women outside the school,' usually club
women, have pushed tbe Introduction
of the subject against mora or less Indif
ference or opposition on the part of school
boards.
About UH0 a New Tork . woman. Miss
Emily Huntington, conceived 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 Tork women, includ
ing Miss Huntington and Mlas Grace
Dodge, organized the Kitchen Garden as
sociation, to open these little 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 associa
tion was transformed Into the Industrial
Education association, with the object
of securing Instruction In all domestlo sub
ject ' In the public schools. No teachers
in these subjects could be found, and so
the association opened a training school
for them which developed into Teachers
College. '
Tho agricultural colleges of the west
took the lead in opening departments of
domestic science and tho thing Is now gen
eral. Some far seeing persons can perceive In
this movement the process of transforming
an unskilled trade into a profession. A
woman college graduate will not be a cook.
But she will cook ail day in front of a
class. It is not the cooklDg 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
was no apprentice system and ; no trade
schools anywhere, ever did so we.l with
their work as the housewives.
"Despite all modern facilities, improve
ments , and methods," said Benjamin C.
Andrews, secretary of the home economics
department of Teacher' college tho other
day, "the housewife's bread Is still the
best.'V
