right living, other college women are teaching scientific cookery 

 directly. 



Miss Lucy C. Andrews, a B. A. from Michigan University, 

 studied cooking at Purdue University and the New York Cooking 

 School, and has taught the subject for the last seven years by giving 

 demonstration lectures and holding practice classes for ladies, house 

 servants, shop girls, and children. She has also worked to promote 

 the interests of domestic science in schools. 



Dr. Helen Putnam, president of the Collegiate Alumnse of the 

 woman's department of Brown University, gave in November, 1893, 

 a series of lectures on Cooking for the Sick, at the first food exhibi- 

 tion ever held in Providence. The Collegiate Alumnse of her uni- 

 versity attended as special guests, as also undergraduates (women), 

 with professors and friends, the superintendent of nurses with a corps 

 of nurses from the Rhode Island Hospital, and many of the school 

 committee of the city and members of the State Board of Education. 



Who can overestimate the results when this college woman so 

 clothed her subject with dignity and interest that it commanded the 

 attention of such a body of distinguished listeners? Still others are 

 teaching cooking in schools and colleges in connection with other 

 branches of the subject. 



The agricultural colleges are making rapid strides in developing 

 this science. The Agricultural College of Kansas has been one of 

 the pioneers in this direction. 



Mrs. Nellie Sawyer Kedzie, a daughter-in-law of the eminent 

 chemist, Prof. Robert Kedzie of the Agricultural College of Michi- 

 gan, first graduated from the college to which she returned to in- 

 augurate the department of domestic science, remaining for fifteen 

 years. She has now been called to continue the same work in the 

 Bradley Polytechnic Institute of Peoria, Illinois, an institution liber- 

 ally endowed and wide in its scope. 



The Kansas Agricultural College has had its department of do- 

 mestic science so well equipped and so ably conducted by Mrs. Kedzie 

 since 1882 that it has furnished the model for many Western col- 

 leges. The work has been so popular there that the Kansas Legisla- 

 ture has appropriated sixteen thousand dollars for a special domestic 

 economy building, which is shortly to be completed. 



Mrs. Helen Campbell goes to take Mrs. Kedzie's place from the 

 University of Wisconsin, where she had already done brilliant work 

 as a teacher in household economics. During many years she had 

 given the brilliancy of her pen to books in this field, as well as in 

 others. Some of them are: The Easiest Way in Housekeeping and 

 Cooking, In Foreign Kitchens, The What-to-do Club, a story for 

 girls, Woman Wage Earners, and her twelve lectures called House-
