DOMESTIC SCIENCE NOTES
T h e F resh ies are very in d u strio u s and take a great
deal of in terest in th e ir w ork.
W e expect to sta rt cooking one meal a day n e x t
w eek. E e t’s hope no one overeats.
As soon as th e cupboards are p u t in each girl w ho
cooks will have her own individual kitchen w ith all
its eq u ip m en t.
W e find th ere is no such a th in g as in d u strial tra in ­
in g w ith o ut th e academ ic. W e use academ ic train in g
every day in o u r w ork.

sinks like those in the D om estic Science.
Each girl w ants to take a prize in cooking, but
there has been a few discouragem ents in the way of
b u rn t cakes. W e d o n ’t know who to blam e for it,

cooks, but we shall have to leave it for you to decide.
