So the home making industry has re-
ceived a tremendous impetus all over
the country. Women no longer have
to do the manufacturing of the coun-
try-the weaving, spinning, tailoring
and canning; the delivery wagon, the
apartment house and the de1icatessen
store have relieved them of a great
deal of their former occupation. But
they still do the spending of the coun-
try. They buy the family food and
clothes and regulate the family ex-
penses Hence the necessity for train
ing them in domestic engineering.
They must plan the family budget
with the same businesslike precision
with which a civil engineer buys con-
crete and steel. The duties of the
home have changed. but housekeeping
still requires brains and executive

house In this connection DR.. Claxton
of the United States bureau Of educa-
ton has recently issued report in
which he says that the practice house
is as necessary to the equipment or
course in home economics as sewing
machines and cooking utensils. and
therefore should be an accessory to
every public school.
The Department of Agriculture,
through it's bureau of home economics.
is doing a great deal to teach the women
of the farm the business principles OF
scientific houseke keeping in connection
with its agricultural extension work.
Statistics show that there are 100000
women working in farm kitchens
throughout the country. By CO.
operative arrangement with the state
agricultural colleges the department
employs county agents who carry the
science of homemaking to large per
centage of these women, just as the
county agricultural experts carry the
principles of scientific farming to the
men. The government gives certain
appropriation to the project annually,
on condition that the state provides q
like amount.
The county agent. who must be a
woman OF scientific training, usually
works by the means of clubs, which
meet in the schoolhouse. town hall or
some such place. Here, by the use of
the movable school," including the
latest housekeeping equipment, she
lectures and gives practical demonstra-
lions in cooking. dressmaking, house
furnishing, poultry-raising, canning

takes advantage of all the latest scien-

This woman and her house are, of
