Have the beans washed and put to soak the night before the lesson is to
be given. Assign to one of the pupils the task of putting them on to
simmer early the next morning. Call the class together for a few moments
when the beans are ready to bake. Assign one of the pupils to attend to
the fire and the oven. Let the beans bake all day. If the lesson is to
be given late in the afternoon, the beans may be ready to serve, or the
cooking may be continued on the second day and the lesson completed
then. It would be well to serve the dish at the lunch period. Have the
biscuits prepared to serve with the baked beans.
