The education of women and girls for the homemaking vocations has evolved to a point where many specific problems can be diagnosed, (it is the purpose of this bulletin to state a few of these problems, to suggest some methods for their further study, and to submit certain tentative proposals for criticisms As far as practicable, the methods employed will be those being developed in educational sociology, namely, to base all proposed aims of education upon an analysis and evaluation of these needs of social groups to be realized in and through education, school and non-school, he standards will be those increasingly accepted in the general theory of vocational education. The bulletin is designed primarily for educators engaged in research in the fields of homemaking and household arts education, or in administering state and national legislation intended to promote such education.

Thanks are due them all for their patience no less than for their courtesy.
