Présentation de l'éditeur
This book is presented not for its literary value, but as a record and result of the Housekeeping Experiments conducted at Colonia. It is a sort of report to the public for the publics interest, and also a contradiction to the sometimes justifiable criticism that the work of Club Women is apt to be dilettante, and their plans unmatured. This undertaking was carried on, as designed by, for, and with, the Club Women of New Jersey. The original intent being, to rouse the thought of the women of theS tate to possibilities of greater housekeeping returns to purse personality and public progress, through the introduction into the home of modern machines, modern methods, and modern motives; the elimination of human and material waste through freedom from mere tradition and social custom and lut the conservation of time, health, money, and beauty in closer domestic co-operation; as well as the establishment of aH ome Economic course in theS tate College, which course is now existent. The idea was to meet what has been generally termed theS ervant Problem.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a deep dive into the domestic arts of homemaking, positioned as an important component within the broader social context of the early 20th century. The author, a woman who envisioned a progressive and efficient future for the home, posits that new systems and outlooks are desperately needed to bring the art of homemaking into the modern world. In this book, she propounds that the key to successful homemaking lies in defining its core purpose. Through her perspective, the home becomes more than its functional purpose of shelter, it becomes a tool for personal growth, the development of each individual member of the family, and of healing and respite for all of its inhabitants. The author challenges the reader to critically reconsider the role of the servant within the home, the many ways in which the home can be made more efficient to improve the quality of life, and posits new solutions to the problems of the day. In conclusion, this book is an early 20th century roadmap on how to best achieve the true potential of the home, centering on themes of efficiency, purpose, and human flourishing.
