TMiie whole lecture is carried on in a conversational tone. Her class has been more than pleased. Severa 1 have said that the one lecture on breadmaking was in itself alone worth all the course cost. Mrs. Ewing has been very much pleased with her elass here. She is reported to have stated that tlie management of the Ravenna elass had been careful, economical, and the most perfect of any she had ever had.
