Excerpt from First Principles of Household Management and Cookery: A Text-Book for Schools and Families
The object of this little volume is to spread a knowledge of the common things of every-day life among all the people. Physicians, and others qualified to give an opinion, testify that the foundation for disease, intemperance, and crime is nearly always impure air and water, food improperly cooked, or uncleanly and disorderly homes. The author has long had a desire to help remedy these evils, and while studying the South Kensington, and the Board Schools in London, in 1878, was convinced that the English people had solved the question as to how and where the reform should begin.
In the city of London there are twenty-one practice kitchens, where girls of eleven years of age and upward are sent for practice lessons in the preparation of the plainest dishes. Before these lessons, however, they study a manual of the composition of food,, and the principles underlying its preparation.
