Then put it back into the same bowl or pan in which the sponge was 

 made and let it rise until it is a little more than double its original bulk. 

 Shape into a loaf, put into a buttered bread pan, and let it rise again until 

 it has about doubled its size. It should feel light and very elastic. Bake 

 at once in a moderately hot oven for 40 to 45 minutes. This will not 

 make a very large loaf of bread, but I hope you are going to learn to make 

 and to like the small loaves of bread, for they are easier to bake through 

 and they have a larger amount of good crust. 



A good loaf of bread should be evenly porous; should have a sweet, 

 nutty flavor; should be thoroughly baked; have no odor nor taste of 

 yeast; the crumb should be tender and elastic; the crust should be well 

 browned; it should be so palatable as to encourage the family to make 

 il a prominent feature of the meal. 



WHAT I EXPECT OF THE BOY OF FOURTEEN 

 Arthur D. Dean 



(New York State Education Department) 



Right at the start I expect him to be a Boy — not a cherub, not a Httle 

 old man, not a sneak. Just plain unadulterated Boy. I expect that he 

 stands well on his feet, looks you in the eye, tells you the truth; that he 

 sleeps when he sleeps, works when he works, plays when he plays ; that he 

 swims like a duck, runs like a deer, sees like an eagle; that he plays fair 

 on the field, at the school, in the home; that he likes a dog, delights in 

 woods and fields, believes in comrades; that he admires real men, stands 

 by his heroes, looks up to his mother; that he sees in a violet, a sparrow, 

 a worm, the touch of the hand of God. 



Furthermore, I expect that the boy has a father as well as a mother, 

 a few brothers and sisters, a wise teacher or two; that his father remembers 

 that he was once a boy ; that his mother tempers her all-abiding love with 

 justice; that his home is more than a pantry and a bed; that his school 

 is more than a recitation period; that his teacher sees. something beyond 

 marks; that his church is more than a form. 



But my expectations are more than one-sided or two-sided; they are 

 many-sided. I rather suspect that the boy expects a few things himself. 

 He expects that his parents are sturdy, responsible, clean; that fresh air 

 is his in sleep, at play, in school; that he is fed at least as sanely as are 

 horses, cows, and hens; that his desire for activity is turned from devilry 

 into useful knowledge, productive labor, wholesome play; that his parents 

 reverently tell him of the functions and care of his beautiful body; that he 

 is taught obedience and right thinking by example as well as by preach- 

 ment; that his capacity, interest, and native ability are studied and wisely 

 directed; that the idealism of his adolescence is nurtured as though it
