BEHOLD th modern housewife In
the making! Cooking the way
mother did Is bad. very bad. now.
It la unhygienic, unscientific, fwirticular
ly unscientific, and a lot ot other "una."
in addition to being- Impoverishing or
extravagant, as the case may be, as well
as conducive to emaciated frames, gnaw
ing stomachs and indigreative expresisons.
At least so says Miss Clara I "VVick
strom, principal and Instructor of the
srirls' trades department of the Port
land public schools.
To inculcate in the minds of coming
Portland houswlves the fallacy of the
old way of doing things and to teach
them how to evade the mistakes of their
mothers are the objects that led to the
establishment of this new department
four weeks ago, placing Miss Wlckstrom,
a woman thoroughly capable, in charge.
Girls Trained to Trades.
Not only prospective housewives, but
girls contemplating becoming maids in
private homes, dressmakers, milliners
and other women'n vocations are being
taught now or will be as soon as the
present plans for the new department
are carried out.
The new school la located In two larsrn
rooms, facing- east, on top floor of the
' w: : .-:" .- . v
ft s
Atkinson School, Eleventh and Couch
streets, where Is located the trades train
ing department for boys.
The work includes a two years' course
tor those who desire to become teachers
themselves, and a one year's course to
those wishing to prepare themselves for
a working knowledge of the various
domestic and trade sciences taught. The
present class is small, but next year
it is estimated a class of more than
200 will be enrolled. Instead of going
through the high school many of the
girls took up the trades. Others were
almost ready for. graduation, but all have
finished the- grammar school.
Principles of Cooking Taught.
In cooking the girls are taught these
principles: First, cleanliness; what are
and the selection of digestible foods.
distinguishing between food for - the
manual laborer and the office or. inside
man; the arrangement of menus so that
one food aids In the digestion of another;
what kind of utensils to use and how
to care for them; the testing of food
products to determine their, value as
food; what the human body demand
and how the demands may be met, both
to the satisfaction of the palate and
nature's laws.
Not one whit less scientific and im
portant are the teachings with reference
to sewing, which with cooking is the
only art taught Just now. The pupils
learn to draught their own patterns, how
to use a needle and how to use a sewing
machine. What is more important, they
are required to make their own garments
while going through the course, com
mencing with the smallest and least in
tricate article of dress and concluding
the course with a full wardrobe.
Sow to Choose Materials.
The choosing of materials is another
principle taught. The girl must know
what kind of materials are good for
each particular article of dress and how
to call for it so a to cause shop people
as little work as possible. This is being
emphasized by Miss Wlckstrom, who
sympathies with shop girls, who are
kept busy for hours hunting for some
thing the customer does not know by
name.
Mrs. Charles E. fiitton, the only woman
member of the Portland School Board. Is
given credit for the establishment of the
new department. She is now traveling
through Eastern states, visiting similar
departments in other cities. Upon her
return an effort will be made to widen
out the ipresent scope . of work.
All of the time of each pupil is devoted
to this 'work, covering three hours. All
attest a full enjoyment of it and enter
upon their duties with a seal and en
thusiasm not ordinarily seen when por
ing over textbooks.
Mysterious Mr.Smitft
Just Ed. Lyons.
Jovial lie pot master Back at Good
Samaritan Under His Real Name,
and His Phonograph Comes, Too.
VTSTERIOUS MR. SMITH" has
1 I been visiting again at the Good
Samaritan Hospital. But it was not as
a man of mystery he came this last
time. With the metaphorical veil torn
off his face, Ed Lyons, depotmaster at
the Union Depot, boldly entered the
institution once more and registered
in his own name.
The nurses were bothered. They were
not sure Just what to call the Jovial
railroad man, but they welcomed both
him and his phonograph back, and
while some called him "Mr. Smith,"
others were satisfied with "Mr. Lyons."
Mr. Lyons was discharged over a
week ago from the Good Samaritan,
but came back a few days ago. At his
first visit he was known as "Mr.
Smith," to avoid, as he later said, worry
by his family over his absence. The
fact that he had no visitors, wrote no
letters and received his mail only by
one special messenger obtained for
him the title of the "Mysterious Mr.
Smith." The feature of "Mr. Smith's"
stay was the huge phonograph that
stood by his bed, and the greatest
worry of the nurses was to keep it from
dispensing canned melody at all hours.
But this time there was no mystery.
Just plain Ed- Lyons is a patient, and
his phonograph comes, too.
NURSES ALL LOVE "SONNIE"
Iad In Hospital Sighs for Today
and Plenty to Eat.
In room No. 232 at Good Samaritan Hos
pital Is a patient who is the recipient
of the envy and Jealousy of every young
man patient on the second floor of the
hosDltal.
This patient, say the nurses, is the hand
somest young man they have ever seen.
Anyway, whose business but theirs is It
If thev choose to fall in love with him ?
And what does it matter if others feel
the influence of the green-eyed 'monster?
Anyway, they all gather round No. 232,
or. if No. 232 (the patient, not the room,
this time). Is taking a rest In the lobby
nothing can be seen around him but the
stripes of the nurses' uniforms. For No.
232 all the delicacies that can be obtained
are cooked. For No. 232 the prettiest
flowers are saved and to No. 232 are told
all the funny things that happen in a
hospital every day.
They call him "Sonnle." He is Just 10
years old. He says he loves them all and
he is such a plucky. Jolly little fellow
they all love him.
"I've only one worry," says "Sonnle."
"They won't give me enough to eat.
Thanksgiving had a lovely dinner a
glass of water. But " there was . a
sign of anticipation "tomorrow "
There was a world of meaning in that
tomorrow, for today "Sonnle'' - can have
all he wants to eat He's getting better
now.
