Natural science and domestic science. Natural science is what we know about nature,' about earth and air and water, about fire and electricity and other natural forces, about plants and animals. Applied science is the use of this knowledge to improve our way of living. Domestic science is the application of natural science to housework. Cookery is often defined as the art of preparing food for the nourishment of the body. But cookery is taught in schools not merely as an art, but as a branch of domestic science. As such, it includes both practice, learning how to do things, and theory, learning why they Should be done.
Home and school ought to work for the good of the nation. - In its mission of training children to be good citizens, the school needs help from the home. For with out right home conditions, including a sufficient supply of suitable and well-cooked food, boys and girls cannot have~ the strong bodies and clear minds needed for doing school work while they are children, and for their life-work as men and women. Think, then, how important to the nation it is that home-makers should have a knowledge of Domestic Science!
