JOHNSON, Kansas City, Mo; — Dear Miss Johnson; Permit me to say that I have quite carefully examined your "Domestic Science for Schools and Homes,*' from both Medical and Hygienic viewpoints, with the fol- lowing results; The estimates of food values, their classifications, and their physiologic uses, are accurate and just; and the prac- tical, scientific directions given cannot be too highly com- mended. The rules for selecting, preparmg, and preserving, foodf , are plain, and within the ready comprehension of the average pupil; and are conducive of the best practical and economic results. The vast amount of labor involved in the preparation of this text for the elementary field, bears testimony to wide research, discriminating judgement, acd a deep knowledge of the needs of the pupil, from the civic, domestic, and peda- gogic viewpoints. As a creation, the book can scarcely receive tCiL> high commendation. Thanking you for the privilege of examining this book, and wishing it the success that it merits, I am. Very truly yours, Wm. Davis Foster, M, D. SYNOPSIS OF CONTENTS COOKING. PART I. jiyllabuB of the Course; for the Teacher's Use. PART II. Text for the Pupils of the Seventh Scholastic Year. PART III.
