A. j Millinery, Cooking, Embroidery, Painting, English, j / German and French, Supplement Work of Phys ical, Social and Spiritual Development of 2,500 J ■: Members !; The success of the Young Women's Christian Association since it moved into the new building at Fourth and Walnut streets, is being proved by the popularity of the classes in physical culture, domestic science, domestic arts, language and mutslc Instruction. Hundreds of the total enrollment of 2,500 members are learning new and useful things In the weekly classes. The latest department to be added to the work of the association is that of social and reiigious extension activi ties among the women of industrial centers. Miss Dorothy Morgan, of the Germantown association training school in women's work has recently been appointed extension secretary. The purpose of this department is to carry to working women and girls the four-fold idea ot' the Young Women's Christian Association—physical, edu cational, social and spiritual instruc tion in the l'orm of talks on physical culture, story telling, recitations, mu sical entertainments and Bible in struction. , Girls Volunteer Miss Morgan has organized a com mittee of twelve volunteer workers, with Miss Alice Graydon as chairman. With one of these women Miss Mor gan will conduct a factory meeting each day in the week, according to the following schedule: Mondays at the silk mill; Tuesdays, Moorliead knitting plant: Wednesdays, Harrls burg cigar factory in Race street; Thursdays, Ideal Hosiery factory; Fri days, Blough manufacturing plant. After the work is organized each leader will lake complete charge of a noon meeting at a certain factory. After a time, factory clubs will be organized and the work of the asso ciation continued by the giris. Miss Morgan Popular Miss Morgan will have charge of the social clubs which meet Monday and Wednesday nights; she will also or ganize a High School girls' club to morrow afternoon at 5 o'clock. Her desire is to have this a wideawake girls' society, the work leading up to tho students' associations in various I woman's colleges^. The Current Events class of Mrs. Mabel Cronlxc Jones on Tuesday af ternoons is crowded every week. The enrollment of 312 members is said to be the largest class of its nateure in the United States. The physical department under Miss Marjorie E. Bolies has about 250 wo men and girls in the gymnasium classes. The dressmaking class has fifty-nine enthusiasts learning to make shirtwaists, skirts and to do plain sewing. The instructors in this de partment pre Miss Frances Morrison Miss Janet Sawyer. Mrs. Edward Manser and Mrs. Herman P. Miller. Teach Millinery Mrs. Paul Hooker is showing eleven girls how to remodel their old hats and design new ones. Mrs. Elizabeth I.ong has five in the. embroidery class. Miss Emily Coleman has fourteen in the basketry class. Miss Alice F. Stevens, seven in painting. The Eng lish Review class has ten members under Mrs. George Ross Hull. The Rev. 11. F. Eisse has twenty members In his four graded German classes. The junior classes under Miss Edna Sprenkel have eighty-two girls under twelve years. Classes in French, elo cution and music will be organized later. Most l'leasing- to All Next to the gymnasium, probably the most interesting department of the association's work Is the domestic science school, conducted by Miss Jessie Dowdell. She has 120 pupils in ten classes, one each for housekeep ers. young wives, high school girls, girls "under twelve, library assistants, four for young business women in the evenings, and one for young ladies of leisure, who desire to learn how to manage a kitchen or to take charge of the pots and pans when the cook goes on strike. The students range in age from little girls to mature married women who won't tell how old. The only fault to find with the cook- 1 ing course is that of cramped ac commodations. The kitchen is 18 by 20 feet and has arrangements for only ten cooks so that some of the students have to double up on the rolling pins, and use the same frying pan for more than one batch of ham and eggs. When Miss Dowdell opened her classes, forty-three girls applied for one of the periods of instruction, so that instead of the five classes ori ginally planned, she had to arrange ten during the week, four of them at night. Debutantes Eager The teacher says all her classes are equally enthusiastic in-their work, but appearances seem to indicate that the library girls and the debutantes arc the deepest in the new dishes they are learning. At any rate, they have had two accidents since the course began, and accidents are surely indications of high nervous tension, which In turn means earnestness, so the psychologists say. At any rate the scrubwoman says one of these girls spilled a batch of marmalade on the floor and was obliged to call her to help to clean it up. Another one burned a big round hole in a tea towel by setting a red hot pan on it. A glance into the cooking school during the lesson hour shows an ab sorption of the work so iiUense that a stranger is not noticed by the stu dents. If the visit is made near the end of the period, each girl is seen with her head bent over, consuming the food she has prepared; for it is a rule of the establishment that stu dents must prepare their lessons so well that they can eat the dishes themselves. No one has been sick up to date, according to the records. No biscuits have been burned; no soup has boiled over; no one has been cut with a butcher knife; no coffee pots have blown up, and no roaches have (been found anywhere. Cleanliness Requisite Absolute cloanliro.ss prevails from the ceiling to the dishras-rs. which are washed after each lesson and spread on the table to dry for the next class. Kach work bench is provided with a kit of tools for peeling potatoes, etc., and a single flame gas burner. Port able ovens are used when a baking lesson is In progress. Miss Dowdell's instruction is strict ly informal and practical. At the opening of each lesson she tells briefly the makeup of the dish to be pre pared. its peculiarities, difficulties and chemistry—lf it has any. The stu dents take any notes they may de sire, then take the required ingredients and go ahead. Miss Dowdell stands In side the square of cooking benches, ready to lend p. hand lo any student who gets in trouble. She usually holds a largo iron spoon or a fork in her hand while demonstrating and em phasizes her instructions and com mands with frequent gastures. Course Progressing The course started in November with preserves, orange marmalade, grape conserves, soups, muffins, waffles and simple bakery foods. Just before the holidays there was cranberry sauce, plum pudding and "slews and slews of candy of all kinds." The les sons this week were resumed with work on four kinds of salad, and will continue until the close of the school at Easter time with more complicated dishes, ending the course with pies anu cakes. Besides the slight tuition fee each student pays ten cents a week for the materials used. Broken cups and dishes must be replaced at the ten cent store.
