Gisborne Technical School Committee ..'■'■'■' .has shown its opinioh' of Marten Wit. the tendencies of the present day by estbalistiirig cookery classes for youths. Thc alleged reason is that it wilj be of advantage to young men to have a knowledge of plain Cooking when they are living in places where there are no competent cooks. The real cause of the new departure is, no doubt, that the committee has noted the fact that girls in the present day prefer to work in offices, shops, or even factories, . rather than to under-' take \ dotnestic duties.,: As wives such girls are naturally incompetent cooks, and unsatisfactory managers, and, there-', fore, ''if; is felt necessary; that the other par^y" hi the matriiriohial .partnership should be able to boil a ypotate: or make a rice pudding. Doubtless the Gisborne committee will soon add classes in infant ' management ,• .for the benefit of future. fathe'rs-^-Rangitikci' Advocate.
