points should be carefully strengthened. The
length of time spent on the review will vary according to the ability of
the class. This can be plainly judged by their habits of work. The new
recipes given them should be such as they are likely to use at home, so
as to encourage home practice. These recipes will also enlarge their
collection in their special recipe books. Some of the following may be
useful: creamed potatoes, potato omelet, stuffed potatoes, stuffed
onions, corn oysters, baked tomatoes, spaghetti with tomato sauce,
macaroni and cheese, scalloped apples, plain rice pudding, ginger
pudding, sago pudding, tapioca cream.

THE KITCHEN FIRE

Up to this time the pupils have been allowed to manage their individual
table stoves or a gas range. They should now be taught to understand and
to use an ordinary coal or wood range. Two lessons will be necessary for
this purpose. After each lesson has been taught, the remainder of the
period should be spent in some kind of practical work which can be
accomplished in the time. Some cookery which requires only a few minutes
may be reviewed, such as tea, cocoa, coffee, toast, bacon, apple sauce;
drawers and cupboards may be cleaned; silver and steel may be polished;
designs for wall-paper, dishes, curtains, and dress materials may be
drawn; household accounts may be computed; sewing may be finished.

LESSON I

REQUIREMENTS OF A KITCHEN FIRE

In introducing a lesson on the kitchen fire, ask the pupils to imagine
that they have built a new house, which the workmen have just vacated.
Before they can move in it must be cleaned. What kind of water is best
for cleaning? Hot water. What is necessary to provide hot water? A fire.

Find out from the pupils and then write on the black-board what is
necessary for a fire. What is the first requisite? Something to burn.
What do we call such a substance? _Fuel._ Where shall we put the fuel?
In a _stove_. Why is a stove necessary? To confine the fire.

Using a candle as fuel and a lamp chimney as a stove, light the candle
and place it in the chimney. It burns only a short time and then dies
out. Why? Because the oxygen of the air in the chimney is all exhausted.
Then what is another requisite for a fire? _Oxygen._

Imagine the room to be a stove and the chairs, books, tables, etc., to
be fuel. The air in the room also contains much oxygen, so that in this
room we have three requisites for a fire. It is very fortunate for us
