Excerpt from Increasing Home Efficiency
We kept house one summer in an attractive middle-class suburb, under the ordinary conditions that make for comfort and compel circumspection among middle-class people.
One day our next door neighbor came running across the lawn and flounced - there is no other name for it - flounced down upon our veranda.
"I'm nothing but a family clearing house!" she cried distractedly. "I run up the family bills one month and pay them the next! I buy what the stores have to sell at the price they choose to set, - I pay rent for a house somebody else has chosen to build, - I send the children to the sort of school the town has happened to establish, - I dress, and come, and go, and read, and see, as other people have arranged for me! What have I to do with it all? Merely to pay the bills with money I haven't earned!

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the complex world of homemaking, a topic often overlooked in literature and economics. While cookbooks abound, the author challenges the traditional view of the home as merely a place for cooking and cleaning. Instead, the author proposes that the home, particularly the middle-class home, is a complex factory with a crucial role in society's overall well-being. By drawing on real-life examples of families and their budgets, the author explores the intricate connections between homemaking, economics, and social progress. The author challenges the notion that families with limited incomes are inherently ineicient. Through in-depth analysis of family budgets and societal needs, the author argues that a certain financial minimum is necessary for true home efficiency. Beyond mere survival, true efficiency requires resources to support children's education, personal development, and the overall well-being of family members. Ultimately, this book offers a fresh perspective on homemaking, recognizing its significance in shaping individuals and influencing the course of civilization.
