ECONOMICS OF THE KITCHEN
EXPERIMENTS ON THE RELATIVE COST
OF HOME COOKED AND PUR-
CHASED FOOD.

The result Of an experiment to determine the
relative cost Of home cooked and purchased food.
undertaken by the committee on domestic service
Of the Boston Branch of the Association of Col
legiate Aumne, has just been made public by the
Massachusetts Labor Bulstin. The decision TO
study the possibility Of having housework
done outside the home was based on the belief
that the solution Of the domestic problem lay, not
in work with the individual domestic employe, but
in the evolution of housekeeping itself The need
and value of the work seemed so clear the do
mestic service committee that it transformed
into committee on domestic science. and nVeStl-
cations started in laundry work and cleaning
well in foods. When. however, the diff
culties OF the undertaking became evident. 1t was
decided to do a part at a time and the subject OF
foods. most important. chosen.
Careful experimenters enlisted and the
work begun with breads and soups. 1t was
found that the home kitchen and numerous
experimenters could not produce accurate results
on the same basis The only chance for accurate
work lay in persons giving definite time TO eX-
perments in a laboratory. Accordingly, an Asso-
citation of Collegiate Alumna fellowship was estab-
nshed at the School of Housekeeping for lSoO-'0l,
with Gertrude Bigelow, of the class of 93 Of
Wellesley College. fellow. Two more fellow
ships will be raised to carry the work during
the coming year.
The report issued summarizes the results OF Miss
Bigelows work during the last year, together with
experiments made by the School Of Housekeeping
during the last two years.
The of materials could be determined with
comparative accuracy. but those of labor and fuel
were more complex So far waste and cost of
wear and equipment concerned, Il
was impossible 10 arrive at approximate
estimate.
1T is significant OF business management In
housekeeping" says Miss Bgelow. that no house
manager was found who could give accurate
statement of the cost of wear and tear and waste.
The fact that these items must be dsreSarded in
he present investigation because OF lack of data IS
indicative Of the present unorganized condition Of
house management
The report is divided under the following heads
Cost OF labor OF fuel. cost OF bread. cost Of
meats. cost of entire food consumed by the family

MEAT EXPERIMENTS.

Effort was made to obtain accurate figures on
the cost of home preparation of meat. Many kinds
OF cooked meats supplied by caterers in
restaurants for home consumption. The deman
has increased during the last two years, chicken
and turkey either whole sliced. being in greatest
request Other cold roast meats sold sliced but
there is not great demand for whole roasts AS
there satisfactory appliances in general
for delivering meats and other cooked foods hot,
Teheating is necessary If hot rOasts desired.
Such arrangement is defective, however. since
reheatinE usually results in tOughening the meat.
Economists have long recognized the fact that
meat is expensive article Of diet In the first
place. the original cost is higher than that of
vegetable foods For example. a pound Of rice at
eight cents, Il pound Of -four and one
half cents. n pound OF COrnmeal at two cents
would each give more energy than a pound Of
