Instruction in Cookery.

One of the most telling object-lessons of the effectual result of instruction was the little dinner propared for members of the Wanganui Education Board, headteacbers, officials, and the member for Wanganui, at the Wanganui Technical School on Tuesday evening by the senior pupils of the District High School. The whole of the preparations, even to decorating the tables, were carried out by the pupils, and the cooking was a speaking tribute to the ability of the teacher, Mies Mollison. From the meat pies to the dainty sponge and cream sandwiches, everything was perfectly worked, and it would be impossible to better either the plain food or the dainty confections, which were all so appetising. The delight of the bevy of nine girls responsible for the spread at tho success they had attained was naturally very great, and they fully deserved the Chairman's acknowledgment of the guests' indebtedness to them all. As there is a certain amount of truth in the saying that the nearest road to a I man's good graces is by nicely-pre-pared food, the success of this branch lef the Wanganui Education Board's instruction is something approaching a matter of some importance.
