Excerpt from Household Management
Yet with production passed practically out of the control of the home, we find the other branch of Economics, consumption, still chiefly confined there. Most of the wealth acquired outside is expended on either the home or the interests closely connected with it. Women thus become the main directors of these expenditures. It is generally conceded that most of them stand in great need of a better understanding of the importance of the work that is theirs, and of the principles which underlie all correct economy.

Excerpt from Household Management
My dear Madam:
A large number of subjects must necessarily be considered under so broad a head as Household Management. It is impossible to treat all exhaustively in these lessons. The attempt has been made to select the vitally important points to be emphasized and so to treat them as to make them suggestive and helpful both in their application to your needs and in stimulating desire for further study and experiment.
Conditions for home-making differ so widely in different parts of the country that no two housekeepers have exactly the same problems, although general principles may be the same. Your most interesting study, if you make the lessons as helpful as may be, will be in testing and adapting the principles set forth according to your particular circumstances.
One of the greatest charms about most successful homes is their individuality, while one of the things to be deeply regretted is the tendency of many women towards imitation regard less of whether the thing imitated is fitted to their standard of life or not.
The purpose of our lessons is to make such suggestions as may be helpful to you in working out your individual problems more successfully in the light of others experience, rather than to state any fast-bound rules to which one must conform to succeed.
There is a great scarcity of available material from which to draw.
