This is taken from a Newspaper printing in 1902, I found it hilarious.

Jacob A. Riis, author of "How the Other Half Lives," pays glowing tribute to the culinary art as one of the most potent factors in the solution of certain problems.  "The kindergarten at one end and the cooking school at the other are two of the grandest features of our modern educational system," says Mr. Riis.  He further declares that the cooking school is doing much for the cause of temperance.

The average working girl in our large cities knows nothing of cooking.  When she marries she struggles along as best she can, says "Good Housekeeping."  For a month the couple live on love and such messes as she can serve up.  At the end of that time the man gets hungry.  He has got to have something fit to eat.

The most natural place in the world for him to turn to is the lunch counter in a barroom.  This is the beginning of the old, old tragedy.  Mr. Riis believes that with the girls in the lower parts of our cities taught what good food is and how to prepare it, a tremendous blow at the drink vice will have been struck.
