Excerpt from Food, a Factor in the Home: Cereals and How to Cook Them
With the introduction of agriculture into the public schools educators are awakening to the need of the study of home science. School men are beginning to realize that, even in an agricultural state like Nebraska, the home is as essential to the well being of the citizens of the commonwealth as the farm. They are coming to understand that it is quite as important that the girls learn to raise bread as that the boys learn to raise corn. Accordingly, with the Boys' Corn - Growing Contest came the Girls' Corn - Cooking Contest. Simultaneously with the Nebraska Boys' Agricultural Association there was formed the Nebraska Girls' Domestic Science Association. Food problems were among the first to attract the attention of the members of these associations. This bulletin is therefore designed to give them helpful suggestions and informa tion concerning their work.
