I. Few will argue, t.hat eYcn h1 tLe face

of unsatisfactol'Y acccmmodation, ar.d a Eeavily-weigI:ted Curl iculum, cookery should not to taught in 8ih ordinary National school. No otter subject could be more acceptable, suitable, or far­reachin~ in its !diueHe. -cConcequent1y much mconvemence shou~d te put up with, ar.d every er.deavour made by thoughtful conscientious teacLers who desiIe to tetter tLe home·life in tI-.o houses in the r.eighboUIhood of their school~, to irltrcduce the subject in a simple effective way, employing few, if any, articles of equipment, more than are commonly obtainable and suitable to the surroundings of the pupils. With tI-.eEe and well-balar.ced instruction on tte ~damental prir.ciples, attractively lllustrated by eoonomical disl:es, tLe teaehing of c;ookery becomes an importar,t factor both ill school and home life. . The hom~ly, logical, ar.d yet sugges­

~lvely elastIC nature of the Programme ill Coo~o~y ar.d Laundry. laid down by tLe CommlSslOners of NatIonal Education coupled with tLe admirably terre aui sensible character of the "Notes fer :reaoters," .p!ays such an important palt ID popularlSmg the subject that their

Domestic Science, which would keep tLeir mn.ds u£cfully employcd, ar.d eventually cuhl1inate in building up successful your g houEe ·keepers.

In conr.ection with this matter it w01ld b.e well to introduce. a 'lystem of competi­tIons amongst tLe gnls at tLe or.d of each COtU'Ee, ar.d to give invitations to paler,ts and reprewntative houEekcepers to te p:osent at tl:.ese wLen actual disLes would be cooked imprcmptu.

Plizes should be provided for t.he best workers and certificates ef proficiency in first or second year's cookelY, as tLe ca£e may te aw~rded.
