QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
TRAINING IN HOUSEWIFERY.—“_As a regular and appreciative reader of THE
GIRL’S OWN PAPER, I have become much interested in the question of
higher grade housekeeping. I have obtained the consent of my parents
to enter a home to be trained. Would you kindly furnish me with the
addresses of some establishments where training is given?_—KATE.”
“Kate’s” determination to equip herself thoroughly for the duties
of housekeeping, is a most wise one. The girl who is trained in all
departments of domestic work can turn her knowledge to account in
every situation in life in which she may be placed, and is never
likely to find the problem of earning her bread a difficult one.
“Kate,” doubtless, knows already the National Training School of
Cookery and Domestic Economy, Buckingham Palace Road. This institution
is principally intended for the training of teachers, and we judge
from “Kate’s” letter that in her case a school would be preferred
that trains girls specifically for domestic employment. A School
of Housewifery and Domestic Science of this kind has lately been
established in connection with the North Hackney High School for
Girls, at 101, Stamford Hill, N. “Kate” would be well advised to visit
this school and see the classes at work. In the country are many
excellent schools. Good housewifery training can be obtained at several
institutions in the country. The following are all well recommended:
Belsize House, Brunswick Square, Gloucester, in connection with the
Gloucestershire School of Cookery and Domestic Economy, principal,
Miss Florence Baddeley; Camp End School for Household Training, near
Malvern, conducted by Miss Buck and Miss Brander; Fryerne School of
Household Management, Fryerne, Caterham, principal, Miss Mitchell;
and the Wiltshire School of Cookery and Domestic Economy, Trowbridge,
secretary, Miss A. Bridgman. At each of these institutions, resident
