Do you see this key on the
stove? Why do we open the oven
door? How can we tell if no gas
is escaping? Why do we open the
burner full before we put the
lighted match to it? Why should
we light the match first before we
open the gas? Demonstrate the
lighting of the match and the gas,
the shaking out of the match and
putting the match into its right
place. Let several pupils imitate
the teacher until it is done right.
How far is the flame from the
bread? How long do you think it
will take to make toast, Mary?

' ' When you make toast, make
toast." Toast, golden brown all
over, dry all through, and burned
no place. We will keep this hot
in the oven while we make tea.
These dry leaves came from In-
dia, far over the ocean. Some tea
comes from Japan and China also.
We pour boiling hot water over
these leaves to get the flavor, and
then pour it off and drink the
water. We throw away the leaves
— they are not good to make any
more tea with. There are two
kinds of tea, black and green.
Black tea is much better because
there is not so much tannin in it.
We want to get the flavor out of
the leaves but we want to leave
the tannin in the leaves and throw
it away. Tannin is lazy and does
not come out of the leaves quickly
when we pour the boiling water
on, but the flavor does come out
quickly.
When one side of the bread is
toasted, what shall we do? Which
side will take longer to toast, be-
fore or after turning? How much
longer?
We must use water just as soon
as it begins to boil, because the tea
will not taste so good if made
from water that has been boiling
some time.
If little girls drink tea it will
make their skin yellow, so tea is
only good for grown-up people. It
is the tannin in the tea which
makes the skin yellow, and is not
good for the health.
There are two kinds of tea, or
tea made in two ways. Get your
tablespoons and I will put into
them some tea for you to drink.
Hold the spoon over your pan or
over your hand so that none of it
will drip on the floor. Tell the dif-
ference in the taste. Yes, tannin
is bitter and we must not have it
in the tea.
Demonstrate the correct method
of making tea, and then make some
tea by boiling it. Sweeten both of
these and allow the children to
taste the good tea first.
Now let us see how we do this.
Fresh water from the faucet goes
on to boil. As soon as it boils,
scald out the teapot of eathern-
ware or china, but never tin. Put
the tea into the teapot. Use three
rounded teaspoons of dry leaves
for a family of six. Pour the boil-
ing water into this. Pour off all

Or, to make one cup of tea, use Serve tea to guests, but pupils
a little strainer with one-half tea- eat toast with marmalade or jelly,
spoon of tea in it, and pour the

and a teaspoon on each saucer.

your toast. Eat this at your own
table.
