THE COURIEP
by their progressive president, Mrs. Ida
Cagg Ohatterton, held a (air to raise
foods to establish a kitchen garden and
cooking school. With the three hundred
dollarathus secured the club, in Febru
ary, rented four large rooms over a store
in the business part of the city, and
Mrs. Mary B. Snow, of Denver, whose
success in the work there is well known,
came on to take charge of the new en
terprise. Through the generosity of
some of the business men of Louisville
the rooms were painted and papered,
gas and electric lights contributed, be
sides considerable furniturn, making it
possible to use tha cash in hand to pur
chase the kitchen garden outfit. The
large kitchen is provided with tables in
the form of a square arranged for twelve
pupils. These have the usual outfit of
drawers completely furnished with kitch
en utensils, and small gas-stoves for
each pupil for individual work, while a
large range in the room is for baking
and general class cooking. Here the
chemistry of foods and cooking, food
values, and effects of beat are taught in
regular course. Marketing lessons are
given by charts and practical illustra
tion. The industrial schools furnish
the kitchen-garden pupils, who are
taught a system ot housekeeping with
the aid of miniature dishes, beds, and
washing outfits, interspersed with songs
and games, after the usual plan of this
instruction. On Saturday afternoons
there is a class in hand sewing, and also
one to be taught machine-work, drafting
and making shirt-waiBts and undergar
ments. Chafing-dish classes are also
provided, and the school carries on
ladies' and children's classes in cookery.
In the evening classes for domestic ser
vants, including cooks and waitresses,
are held. One of the rooms is given
up to a reception room. It is provided
with eaby chairs, a piano, books, and
pictures, and is made pretty with palms
and potted plants. Here weekly recep
tions are held. Two weeks after the
school opened one hundred and forty
pupils had enrolled.
ThiB school is the first one to be estab
lished in Kentucky. At the meeting of
the state federation at Frankport in
June, a report ot the school was received
with much enthusiasm. It will doubt
less prove a model and inspiration for
the multiplication of such entorprisoB
throughout the state. More and more
are the wisdom and value of this instruc
tion tor the children of the tenements
being demonstrated. Every child so
taught becomes a missionary to carry
her gospel straight into the field where
it is so cruelly needed. The High School
Alumnae club of Louisville has sat a
fine standard for all Kentucky clubs.
The Western club women claims that
Russia is the first country to openly rec
ognize the great natural tact of women
and seek to turn it to account in a legit
imate way. Russian women made so
good an impression in the missions of
India that their government has under
taken to fit them for positions as profes
eiocal diplomatists, duly furnished with
diplomas. The minister of public in
struction has arranged for classes in
Moscow and St Petersburg, where
ladies will be instructed in oriental
languages and customs. The costumes
are not less important, for to the court
ly and dignified easterner a breach of
etiquette would be far more unpardon
able than a slip ot the tongue.,
In addition to their other studies
these ladles must take a thorough course
in medicine, the woman physician has
the entree where the lady visitor would
be barred out. After completing their
term of study the graduates will be
added to the secret service corps ot the
government, and it goes without saying
that they will wield a might) power.
While it does not appeal on the face of
H, this is a tacit admission on the part
of the Russian government that women
can keep a secret.
Appropos of Russia the current sum
mary of commerce and finance discusses
at length the Russia, the Trans-Siberian
railway and the relation to tho trade of
the orient in competition with the
Unitod States. This report is prepared
by the treasury bureau of statistics
and emphasizes the fact that Russia
has such wide variety of climate, soil,
and minerals that like the United StateB
she is able to produce within herself a
large share ot the necessities and com
forts of life. The report further calls
attention to the fact that Russia is
closely following the example of the
United States in strengthening hor in
dustrial system by utilizing all the
natural supplies of materials in differ
ent kind of manufactures. In summa
rizing Russia's great and growing re
sources the report includes the new
transportation routes by which these
natural supplies may be sent to the
markets of Asia and Europe.
The women of Holland have started a
movement of their own which is especi
ally praiseworthy because of its practi
cal features. Their plan is to take the
poor from the citleB and plant them in
country colonies. While this is not a
new philanthropy, it has not seemed to
appeal to the womens' clubs of this
country and to the women of Holland
belongs the honor ot this new departure.
They plan to buy some sandy waBte
land within easy access of a town re
claim it, build sanitary cottages and
rent them on easy terms. The wives of
the tenants will be assisted to a start in
poultry and dairy farming, while the
men can secure work in neighboring
towns. The distance being so short
that they con easily go back and forth
each day. The women are to collect
funds and manage the business part en
tirely. Prof. Charles Eliot Norton is in no
danger of a lack of adequate means for
expressing his true feeling on the an
nexation of the Filipinos, as the latest
information is, that there is 122 different
dialects spoken among the islanders.
