Excerpt from The Kitchen Garden, or Object Lessons in Household Work
Ing while you work, my child, said a New England mother. You will be twice as happy, and the time seem Shorter. All accustomed to dealing with children, recognize the fact that the hour of labor must be varied, brightened, and cheered, to make it endurable to the little workers. The crying and growing evil of our own country and indeed of the world, for many years, seems to have been a shrinking from the curse by the sweat of thy brow, etc. Pronounced in the garden of Eden, which doubtless was intended by a loving and merciful heavenly Father to be a blessing to the race. How could this shrinking be turned into seeking — how could this ignorance, at the root of all the misery of the poor, be changed into intelligence, and so into joy? Has been a long pondered question. One child at a time, with line upon line, and precept upon precept, could be led through the varied path of house-work, but how to teach the masses, how to put courage into the drudgery, that was the problem. In schools they are taught to read in classes; why not to cook.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is an educational manual on household skills for young girls during the 19th century. The author promotes the notion that domestic training would help young girls achieve personal growth by cultivating habits of orderliness, self-reliance, and domestic expertise. She argues that these skills are essential for creating happy homes and that they can contribute to a girl's overall character development. The book provides detailed instructions for daily tasks, such as cooking, cleaning, and setting the table, but goes beyond mere instruction to highlight the social and moral significance of domestic labor. The author's emphasis on responsibility, attention to detail, and cheerful diligence reflects the Victorian values of the era and offers a glimpse into the domestic ideals of the time. Providing a fascinating insight into the education of girls, this book highlights the importance placed on domestic skills in shaping young women's roles within the Victorian household.
