Synopsis
Excerpt from Home Economics: A Practical Guide in Every Branch of Housekeeping
"Home economics," "domestic science," "domestic economy," and "household economy" are all terms which are applied to the same science (the management of the home). In Europe, where this subject has received much more attention than in this country, the term "domestic economy" is the one generally employed.
Home economics covers a vast field, to which nearly all the arts and sciences contribute. Few women have the time to devote to investigation and experiment in all the lines that bear upon the making of the home. In these days of specializing, it would take a large library and much time to cull from the various sources the kinds of knowledge that bear directly upon the making and the management of the home. The aim of this book is to supply such knowledge in a clear, practical, and concise manner.
There seems to be a need for a book that deals with the necessities of daily home life, that teaches the housekeeper the materials and forces with which she has to deal, and the way in which they should be treated. This book has been planned upon this basis. It treats of the conditions which make the soil under the house and in the immediate neighborhood healthful or unhealthful, the changes in water caused by proper and improper conditions, the sources and characteristics of fuels and oils, besides giving careful consideration to the material that enters into the construction and the furnishing of the home.
