Excerpt from Food and Home Cookery: A Course of Instruction in Practical Cookery and Cleaning, for Children in Elementary Schools, as Followed in the Schools of the Leeds School Board When public money is used, an account should be rendered to the public of how it is spent. I have therefore thought it well to publish the following Scheme of Cookery, which, as the only lady member of the Leeds School Board, I have drawn up on behalf of my colleagues and myself. The aim of this Scheme was to induce a love of cleanliness, personal neatness, and order; to give practical instruction; and to offer every aid to the girls and their parents to practise the lessons thus taught them, in their own homes. In order to accomplish this, printed receipts easy to read were presented to the girls, to prevent their taking home illegible ones written down during the delivery of the lesson, when their attention ought to be given to observing all that the cook is doing. It has been found that the interest of the parents is much aroused by their being able to purchase at cost price small portions of the provisions which their children have helped to prepare. The food collection, diagrams, &c., make the instruction easy and popular. Printed questions, answered at home, draw attention to the most important facts in the lesson, and are read aloud at the commencement of the lesson.
