MUNICH DOMESTIC SCIENCE SCHOOL UNIQUE INSTITUTION IN EUROPE Teachers of Public Schools Who Give Instruction in Cooking in Eighth Grade Sent to This Place for Six Months' Course of Training City Paying Salaries While There. . BY ALICE V. JOYCE. STRATFORD - ON - AVON, England, July 20. (Special.) "I .hear It charged -against me that I sought to destroy Institutions. But really I am neither for nor against Institutions. Only I will establish in Manhattan and ii every city of these states, inland and seaboard, and in the fields and woods, and above every keel, little or large, that dents the watea the institu tion- of the dear love of comrades." Walt Whitman. A house is built of bricks and stones, ' Of sills and posts and piers; . . But a home U built of loving deeds. That stand a thousand years. f Victor Hugo. After visiting many schools of vari ous descriptions, from the kindergarten to the university, and seeing jnany new and interesting features, the most interesting tp me were . the schools wnicn directly neip , to mane Better homes. - .Most of these have Been established by societies who felt that the govern ment schools were not training their girls to be efficient home-builders. ' Munich School Planned. In Munich, where In past y-ars very few opportunities for higher education were offered to the girls in comparison to what was planned for the boys, 12 ladies planned a school where girls might receive training In every depart ment of home duties. Ten years ago they began their work in two small rooms rented for that pur pose. Each one of these ladies took a special interest in some phase of the course. Their school developed, and now it is a credit to the educational institutions of their city. The teach ers of the public schools who teach cooking in the eighth grade are sent to this school for a six months', course of training, the city paying their sal ary while in training. Various governments are planning to take charge of some of these schools. They realize the profit derived from such valuable instruction. ; The Prlncezzln Arnulf Seminary, in Munich, is supported by the Society for the Household Education of Women. It offers three regular courses and a num ber of short courses to accommodate. the students. Their regular courses are a two-year course! for teachers of cook ing and housekeeping, a one-year course for housekeeping or sewing, and a six months' course for general house keeping. Students may enter the sem inary course when IS years old and the general courses when 17. Chance to Work Way Given. For those who cannot afford tuition, the privilege of helping with other du ties and care of the school Is offered. . A four weeks' course for the soldiers who cook In the army is provided, and they must leave the kitchen as neat as they found it. There also are night classes for girls at a very reasonable price. In the cooking classes each teacher is provided with a separate pantry and the students are taught to buy ma terials, test food values and keep ac counts accurately. Cabinets with many kinds of utensils are studied; their construction, use and care, also their economic value. The lessons are given theoretically and the practice follows this instruction. Care ful notebooks are prepared for future reference. A large garden where students may spend leisure hours, study the growth of vegetables, produce flowers for dec orations In their rooms or for the tables In the restaurant is well cared for by these srirls. It was one of m v disaD- ! polntments while taking cooking 'in a night class to be too busy to have my own garden with the rest of the stu dents. Restaurant SeIf-.SupportIng. I The restaurant In connection with the school' is self-supporting. Meals are served to customers for 110 marks (2S) without dessert and 120 marks ($30) with dessert. The students pay 80 marks ($20) for their dinners, but ordi narily eat the product of their class work in a special dining-room. In the training class for teachers. pupils from the Fortbuilding Schule come as studejits. The classroom is equipped the same as those of te pub lic schools, with one table, one,Hnge and a cabineUfor each six pupils. This number represents a family, each tak ing the place of father, mother, chil dren, guest or servant in turn, and the prepared ' meal then served, a valuable lesson In social adjustment and home etiquette. - ' ' The students take pride in not only making their own clothing, but in as sisting with the family sewing as well. Many prospective brides are found here. Instead of spending their years of betrothal in a series of social, events, they withdraw from society and study the home, its creation and the care of children. - The Baroness, with her associates,! who have donated their time and serv ice to the cause of assisting many young women, has accomplished great things for humanity. Iir Berne, Switzerland, we visited another school similar to the one Just described, also had the pleasure of meeting' one of the directors who told us the history of the school. She also told us that the state was almost ready to -take control of this school, which .la ' well established. The .school for crippled children in Munich was intensely interesting. This is a state school with a free, clinic. It was amazing to see. the girls crochet, embroider and knit with only, one hand, possibly that one the left hand. By cleverly devised. , appliances they were accomplishing good results. The gymnasium was being covered with heavy linoleum- and to be used also as a theater for their amuse ments. Both Catholic and Protestant chapels were in the same building. Everything possible seemed to be done for their comfort and happiness. Students Blade Self-Supporting;. The principal, a sympathetic man who has charge of the school for 25 years said that of the children who have left this school In the last 23 years 84 per cent have been self-supporting. In the kindergarten schools they have many interesting features to amuse the little people. There were screams of delight as different pupils in the class performed the puppet shows In the small theater. These kindergartens are more of day nurseries than schools, which the city provides for eight hours daily while the mothers are working. And their "German Bands" to see their serious faces as these little tots follow the directions of their leader, is very en tertaining. Among the many features of the schools and their-equipments, I shall only refer to a few of them. First I should mention the efficiency of their teachers. Each one seems to have a vast fund of information with strong power to. impart it and worthy the confidence of all. Much encouragement , to individual observation and investigation is siren. I Everywhere we went, we met teachers with their pupils In orderly lines of march, going to museums, stores, gal leries to study . pictures, botanical gardens, parks, fields or forests. While coming from the Black Forest at Frieburg, we met nine different classes in a. five-minute car ride from the forest. The teachers have an aim to pre pare pupils for a life's work and to make good citizens of them. They are taught to know their own country, also to love It. While visting a sixth grade class In Amsterdam, the teacher told me they study the United States in one lesson. Specially trained teachers teach sew ing. Drawing is given i an important place In the school course- ana lan guage, reading and history of art de veloped through it. . Manv schools have baths for the pupils, but they are not compulsory. Play is supervised by the teachers after school, bovs and girls alternating in the use of the playgrounds, each having two evenings a week of play wnen tne weather permits. Teachers who work extra hours receive extra pay. The thermometer of each room is placed in the wall can be studied by the Janitor through a glass plate from the hall, giving no disturbance to the pupils in the room. Linoleum In Halls. Halls are covered with heavy lin oleum, affording a quiet tread and conserving the nerve-force of teachers and pupils. Home study Is encouraged for older pupils. Principals and ober lehrer spend at least half their time teach ing classes In their school. In Hol land the teacher must remain in the room while the principal is teaching so that he "may profit by the head teacher's example." In. many schools of Germajjy the ober lehrer has regu lar classes. The teachers have an hour weekly to consult with parents, either at the school or In their homes. These same societies for the house hold education of women have provid ed "the traveler teacher," who gives a six weeks' course any place a num ber of women request It- These Sea ttle has its sions are held in churches, school houses or private homes and have greatly assisted their cause. London Committee Efficient. The education committee of Borough of Eastham. London, shown remarkable initiative in management of schools. The first ex pression in its book ,of regulations for the management of day schools, 1914, is: "The education committee in tends that every child In its schools shall have a thorough elementary edu cation, combined with physical and moral training." My visit to the school office, clinic, nurses' rooms and doctors' offWe was very interesting. In conversation with the chief medical inspector, who firmly believes that children suffering from disease of skin, weak heart, lungs or digestive organs, difficult breathing from adenoids and other physical weaknesses, has not an equal chance with the normal child and his physical condition should be carefully studied, being vastly more important than his elementary education, many ' kindly suggestions were afforded. In London one is first questioned, "What do you think of our militant suffragettes?" The first thought is Inclined to condemn the destruction of valuable property and heirlooms, but after hearing their defense fr6m edu cated and sensible mothers who are not asking for their own families, but whose real motherly spirit seems to be the leading inspiration, ; one can only sympathize and delay expression. Argument a Are Quoted. We must prove to our government leaders that living children are of more value than these Inanimate ob Jeots," they say; ".that the thousands of innocent children born annually with no one held responsible for their living and protection, many of whom die for want of food and proper san itary conditions, are or vastly most importance and In urgent need of the public money which is spent lavishly for public festivities, etc." In answer to a suggestion mat quiet requests are always more forceful, they reply, "For 50 years have we been quietly requesting for laws which I might better the conditions compelling three and four families to live In a, one-room tenement and now the moth erly spirit of protection has been driven to desperation." They are not a class of women seeking notoriety, but sincerely hopeful of relieving the dis tress of poverty and sickness now ex isting in their metropolis. In the Shakespeare country a quiet beauty Is ' seen everywhere. As we visit the home of the "beloved bard," the old-fashioned cottage of Anne Hathaway, follow the course of the Avon past the church and then vlstt the Memorial Theater, where Shake speare's plays are annually studied, many of his beautiful thoughts come Into real life and we find "sermons In .everything."
