Excerpt from Chemistry of the Household

My dear Madam:

The chemistry of housework is a subject so varied that new problems arise almost every day and new methods of attacking old problems are constantly to be discovered. In all this complication, a few underlying principles are unalterable and will help us to right conclusions.

These lessons are by no means complete and an experienced housekeeper will think of many questions which are unanswered and methods of work that she herself employs which are not mentioned here. I hope that you will tell me of your own methods and experiences and I especially want you to ask questions so that we may supplement the lessons together.

Many of the subjects which are only touched upon in this series are taken up fully from a different standpoint in later lessons.

I am indebted to my revered friend and teacher, Mrs. Ellen H. Richards, for the suggestion of the treatment of the subject in the order of "A Day's Chemistry" and for the use of material in her published books.

There is no BEST rule of universal application for circumstances vary so widely, but the reason why some methods produce good results are here set forth.

In the study of these lessons I would advice taking up one subject at a time.
