Housewifery: A Manual and Text Book of Practical Housekeeping a Manual and Text Book, of Practical (Classic Reprint)

This book will be of direct help to the many women who do their own work or supervise household employes and who are seeking guidance by consulting reference books as other professional workers do. The book is the outgrowth of many years of experience in housekeeping and in teaching housewifery to groups of practical housekeepers, with emphasis upon the technical processes of the home. It is designed to help not only the individual home woman but to serve as a text for study groups of rural extension and other clubwomen and in the housekeepers courses given by schools and colleges. A ny further study of the sciences, directly or indirectly connected with housewifery, may be carried on by means of the references suggested throughout the book. Because of the many requests from former students, who are now teachers, for a book that brings housewifery topics within one cover, the author offers these suggestions from her experience. It is hoped that the outline of courses, the bibliography, and the suggestions for laboratory supervision will meet the need so often expressed by teachers. The prices stated in the book are merely to give relative value, and can not be considered as definite in any locality. It is with much appreciation that the author acknowledges assistance in reading the manuscript toD r. B. R. A ndrews, Teachers College; Miss Matilda J. McK eown, formerly Instructor of Housewifery, Teachers College; and Professor Emma H. Gunther, Department of Household A dministration, Teachers College. L. RAY BALDERSTON.
