Excerpt from The Journal of Home Economics, Vol. 1
Journal of Home Economics, therefore, appears. For the present it will be published as a bi-monthly in the months of February, April, June, October and December, though it is the earnest hope and expectation that it may increase both in size and worth, and in frequency of issue, as time goes by.
Certain purposes of such a journal are evident. It should, of course, contain reports of proceedings of the conventions of the Association, and as far as practicable, reports of local societies affiliated with the American Association. It will be agreed prob ably that as a professional journal it should, first of all, print original articles both on the theoretical side of the household arts and sciences and in the applied fields, whether of education, or of practical work in the home, the institution and the community. Such articles must be written in large part by our own member ship, although the cooperation of expert persons in other fields may be expected, and should embody the results of scientific study or of practical experience and represent the best which any one of us has to offer to fellow workers. A related division of such a journal is that of abstracts to present the gist of articles appearing elsewhere, for a professional journal should, as far as practicable, be a review of reviews of other publications, when, as occasionally, they enter its own limited field. Signed reviews and briefer statements of books naturally form another section. News items, whether referring to persons, institutions or other subjects, may well be grouped together. Editorial statements by those responsible for the Journal, and enquiries and expression of opinion from Association members may appear occasionally. To such a structure, life will come only as thought and energy are devoted to it by many persons. As the plans for the Journal are carried further, a Board of Contributing Editors representing the various fields of home economics will doubtless be needed who may stand sponsor each for the varied interests involved.
