EVERYDAY PROBLEMS.
Domestic Economy is systematic
knowledge of things pretaining to the
home. It treats of the house and its
industries in their relation to the vel.
fare of the household.
The most profitable, the most in.
teresting study for women, is the
home, for in it center all; the issues of
life. The study of home problems
may be made of no less cultural value
than the study of art or literature
and of much more immediate value.
No study is SO far reaching. It goes
to the very root of chemistry. The

world of Nature. 1t reaches to and
touches the physical man and woman
as no other study does. What other
art or science approaches it in vital
Importance to mankind?
The study of history, art, Latin, or
music-all this opens up to a girl a
ing and will prove in after years a
resource full of pleasure and comfort
to her. But along with these studies
must be placed, not beneath them,
but beside the best of them, the study
of domestic science. It matters not
what may be a woman's ambitions
in life, nor what line of work she has
laid out for herself, there comes a
time in every woman's life when a
knowledge of domestic science and of
the health laws of womankind and
mankind prove invaluable to her
Housekeeping ranks among the
professions as truly as any other.
More than trade since he who works
at trade, performs each day the
task assigned, planned and directed
by another. The director who must
possess power to guide his work plan
and direct requires larger capacity
and ability.
The prosperity of nation is found
ed in the welfare of families and the
welfare of a family depends upon it's
having a healthful, happy home. Right
home conditions including a, suffi-
cient supply of suitable we'll cooked
food, make for strong, healthy. happy,
wise and. good men and women to
fill every position in the world.
- All knowledge comes by study and
practice. Practice teaches how to do
a thing, theory explains why it should
be done.
Because certain household duties
may seem hard or unpleasant there
is. no reason for considering house
work unworthy of attention. BY put
ting their minds upon it, instead of
doing it in an unthinking way, people
might discover how to make work
easier and pleasanter.
We. believe that the spending Of
money is as important as the earn
ing. In the home the man should pro-
vide the funds for carrying on the
business of home making; but the
woman should expend the money in
such a way that it may bring in the
largest returns. Training in schools
is therefore as important for house
hold affairs as for business or the
professions.
? A knowledge of foods and their
uses is necessary for the intelligent
selection, care, combination and pre-
paration of them in order to satisfy
the various needs of different mem.
bers of the family. There is a vast
difference between this and satisfy
ing the hunger.
The problem of clothing requires
training in the selection of suitable
materials, skill in their making and
their proper care and repair. Up.
