Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Cookery in the Public Schools
IN sending out this little book, the result of a careful watchfulness of the public school kitchen work, from its inception to the present time, the hope has been to inter est communities beyond Boston in the idea of industrial training in the public schools, and to give the girls them selves some idea of the value of the teaching. Only a hint has been given of the real amount of work, but I hope it is snfiicient to make all who read feel the need of increasing it. I am deeply indebted to Miss Homans, who has given me access to the schools, allowed me the use of the rules, and the privilege of copying the charts and tables. If the work of establishing cookery as a branch of training in the schools generally is perma uently successful, it will be because of the devoted work of this noble woman, who has carried to the finest and fullest completion the plans of Mrs. Mary Hemenway, who supported the first school kitchen, and now supports the Normal Training School for preparing teachers in cooking for the public schools.
