What you would have appear in the life of the people that you must put into the schools. The aim of this book is to perfect the future housewife by arousing an interest in homemaking, by imparting a knowledge of the important theoretical and practical questions that arise in housekeeping, and by promoting habits of industry, order, cleanliness, and thrift. Homemaking has now taken its place among the great professions, precisely because it has been discovered that housekeeping is an art dependent upon skilled labor and effective tools in the same way that any manufacturing business is so dependent. The nurse and the doctor are skilled laborers trained to relieve physical suffering and to cure disease. The homemaker is to be a skilled worker trained to rear children and prevent disease. She is to create centers of order, health, and happiness. She must realize that the way the dishes are washed, the beds aired, the food cooked, may save or ruin the important business of making a home. The skilled housekeeper does even the smallest duty perfectly; she plans carefully and executes her plans in the manner best calculated to save time, energy, and money. Out of the very smallest house she can create a home.
