18875831Boston: Roberts Brothers 1887. Octavo 19 x 13 cm. xxvii 237 5 16 1 pages. Index. Evident FIRST EDITION. Not a cookbook per se but rather an instruction manual "for the use of classes in public and industrial schools" based on the work being done by the Boston School Kitchen. The Boston School Kitchen was initiated and funded by Mrs. Mary Hemenway in summer of 1885 and was the introduction of cooking schools into the Boston Public School system and the first public school kitchen in the United States. Students from various schools in the system would choose to attend as an addition to their regular studies. Mrs. Hemenway supported the school for three years and for the first year instruction was given by Miss Amabel Hope. School Kitchen No. 2 was established in January 1886 in South Boston. Ten years later Miss Hope issued a report on the Cooking Schools indicating that the number of schools had grown to fourteen. Documents of the School Committee of the City of Boston for the Year 1895. Boston: Rockwell & Churchill City Printers 1895 page 281 ff. ~ Mrs. D. A. Lincoln was the first teacher at the Boston Cooking School though she recognized her inadequacy as a culinary instructor and replaced herself with Miss Joanna Sweeney. While at the school she wrote Mrs. Lincoln's Boston Cook Book 1884 the fore-runner to Fannie Merritt Farmer's Boston Cooking School Cook Book 1896. The Boston Cook Book included a section on operating a cooking school titled "An Outline of Study for Teachers". With the publication of the Boston School Kitchen Text-Book Lincoln had written the two works that became the foundation of cooking education for decades. ~ A school prize copy with the presentation inscription of the book's dedicatee Mrs. Mary Hemenway. The inscription reads "May Storey from Mrs. Mary Hemenway June added later in pencil 1885/6." And following in pencil in what appears to be the same hand "aged 12 years 1st Prize for highest percentage Diploma 98 and proficiency." Mary Porter Tileson Hemenway 1820-1894 was a remarkable American philanthropist. Born in New York she moved to Boston after marrying Augustus Hemenway a successful merchant. Quick to recognize significant needs she dedicated herself to a variety of educational causes helping to fund the both white and black colleges including Hampton and Tuskeegee in the south following the Civil War; she recognized that many soldier's wives did not know how to sew and so she provided training and materials for introduction of a sewing course within the Boston Public Schools. This led to her opening "an industrial-vocation school in Boston and two years later in 1885 she opened a kitchen in a public school the first venture of its kind in the United States. After three years the city assumed the cost of the kitchen and cooking as well as sewing became part of the program of education. Meanwhile in 1887 Mrs. Hemenway had started the Boston Normal School of Cooking which after her death in 1894 became the Mary H. Hemenway Department of Household Arts in the State Normal School of Framingham." HarvardSquareLibrary 09/18. Moderately edgeworn in illustrated paper boards over brown cloth.
