Taking Guesswork Out Of Cooking
The preparation of a series of standard fool-proof recipes for all kinds of dishes is the aim of a group of students at East Sydney Technical College and their instructor, Miss Margaret Beale.
They want to take the guesswork out of cooking; to make it easy for the amateur to follow a recipe blindly and have it come out the way she expects, just to her liking.
The girls are in the third year of the science diploma course in food and nutrition, and are doing “experimental cookery” to learn the “why” of the subtle art.
They take a recipe, systematically vary each ingredient and see what happens. They alter the method of mixing and the oven temperature and note the result.
“And from that we hope to be able to predict accurately just how a dish will turn out in size, texture, tenderness, eating

Home Science Display
A new venture featuring the work of the staff and pupils of Home Science section of the Warwick High School and Technical College will be presented at the Town Hall on Friday, July 21, in the afternoon at 2.30 o’clock and in the evening at 7.20 o’clock.
Tempting dishes of sweets, biscuits and small cakes will be arranged around the hall, while expertly-decorated cakes, finely latticed and also in novelty designs, will be there for all to see. Continuing on a tour of the display tables, which, by the way, are best examined prior to the parade, one will see an enticing array of jams, pickles, and preserves.
An excellent example of the variety of fancy stitches are the needlework samples with their colourful embroidery and hem-stitching. Also in this section will be daintily smocked children’s frocks. A sight to please “my lady’s” eye

State High School, Domestic Science, Blacksmithing – Brisbane
Queensland State Archives posted a photo:
A blacksmith is a metalsmith who creates objects from wrought iron or steel by forging the metal, using tools to hammer, bend, and cut. Blacksmiths produce objects such as gates, grilles, railings, light fixtures, furniture, sculpture, tools, agricultural implements, decorative and religious items, cooking utensils and weapons.
While there are many people who work with metal such as farriers, wheelwrights, and armourers, the blacksmith had a general knowledge of how to make and repair many things, from the most complex of weapons and armour to simple things like nails or lengths of chain.

Fine Display By High School Girls
Parents viewing the outstanding display in arts and home science yesterday at the State High School, had reason to be proud of the children, and thankful to the teachers in charge.
…
The 6th Grade girls showed a variety of skirts and blouses in printed cottons. The 7th Grade display included simple house coats, pyjamas, gymnasium pinnafores, and bloomers. The higher grade showed more elaborate styles in frocks, winter suits, ballarina frocks, and lovely overcoats, besides a variety of beach wear.
Country girls who travel in on Fridays had made sweet styles in frocks, beach wear, skirts and blouses.
Mrs. Hoyle gave the girls great credit for their application to the work and their enthusiastic hard work. Every grade had worked very hard, she said.
