Publisher description

Excerpt from The Ideal Cook Book A home-maker must be a housekeeper or at least understand what good housekeeping is. Those women who have been engaged in the study of home-making have grown to feel that it is a profession, a thing of so great importance that it calls for years of careful preparation and earnest study. The general impression exists that a girl can grow up without any knowledge of cooking and housework and when the time comes fall into domestic ways and become a good home-maker. Women have always kept house - hence the conclusion that home-keeping is woman's natural province, for the duties of which no especial training is necessary. In our early days a girl's opportunities were very limited and there was plenty of time for them to become proficient in the duties of home-making. In these days the changed economic conditions and greater educational opportunities have brought about great changes and we find women on an equality with man and practically economically independent of him. However, though she may be a teacher, stenographer, bookkeeper, etc., she will nevertheless finally fulfill her real mission in life and become a wife and home-maker. These lessons of the National School of Home Economics have been prepared to supplement the work being done in the schools and to give the busy housewife the advantages of instruction and help based upon the best thought in the Science of Home Economics. The correspondence privilege extended to members, as per terms of certificate, affords an opportunity to keep posted as to new ideas, new styles, new dishes, etc., which will prove of great value. The High Cost of Living has been kept in mind in the preparation of these studies. The lessons on Home Dressmaking, on Home Millinery, etc., cannot help being fully appreciated by all who practice economy and who still desire to conform to conventional styles.
