HOME ECONOMICS

Frances X. Freeman, Professor Of Home
Economics. at Farmers week Course U.
Of n
Never before in the history OF the home
has the position OF home maker been
more important or her responsibilities
greater. Her position in the economic
world has been very largely changed from
that OF producer TO consumer. The house.
hold tasks Of the earlier days, as the spin
ming Of yarn, the weaving OF cloth, the
preparation Of foods, ETC., have been re-
moved from the home ~ . result OF the
development OF the factory system. The
removal Of these industries however does
not lessen woman's work and RESPONSE
bility. Instead she has the problem OF
wisely spending money for ready-made
garments, household goods and food.
Because OF the great industrial change
women have now the great function Of
directing how the products OF other
peoples labor shall be consumed. Ii IL
estimated that the consumption OF e5 per
cent. OF the worlds goods Is directly con-
trolled BY women, and the centre Of this
consumption is the home. The present
day woman then needs q very different
kind Of training. Her training should in
ciude knowledge OF fabrics, snd ma
terisls, methods Of production, sanitary
conditions, public health, labor laws, etc.
By her buying and the demands which
she makes for proper labor conditions the
fate Of the worker is determined.
The home and family are the social unit
Of any community. The sta biiity Of
society depends upon sound social life in
the family. The efficiency of a home is
judged by its social product, that 10 by the
citizens which it produces. Its treat
social output is the child. Public opinion
has agreed that the home shall keep its
members in a state OF body, mind and
happiness to make it possible for them to
work at their highest capacity for the
greatest number OF years.
Our economic laws demand that this be
done with the least possible expenditure
OF money, muscle and time. Hence every
bone maker should be thoroughly trained
in the primal needs OF man, namely food,
clot hing and shelter.
But the home means far more than
shelter and food. These physical needs
are OF fundamental importance, but they
are only . basis OF the expression OF human
existence. "A house should bear witness
in all its economy that human culture IL
the end to which it Is built and garnished."
