The chance remark of an imprudent man aroused a great storm at a recent meetin? oí the Glasgow School Board. Very few women, he said, could even cook potatoes properly. The rash member who gave utterance to this opinión soon founcl that it is not ahvava safe to say what you think. lie was at once deuounced as a slanderer and calurnniator of the women of one of the flrat cities of the woild - Glasgow ; and the iudigUritiou vvhich his words excited were with difñculty appeased. It is satisfactory to notice that such a charge gave rise to real resentment. The fact that it is deemed discreditable to women to be ignorant of the art of cooking is indicative oí a healthy public sentiment. Perbaps it is not necessary that every woman should know how to cook, but would ïiot every woman be better for knowing how? To the large majority of women such knowledge is certainly indispensable, if they would be good housewives. It will bo a bad sign in the social life of the nation when it eau truthf ully be said of any considerable portion of its women that they do not know how to cook.
