ABSTRACT

The household machinery should be so arranged that there is time left for the higher life of the home and for child training, as the main aim is the production of happy, healthy, useful human beings. The home should satisfy the many-sided needs of all the members of the family, and it should be a place of refuge which each delights to seek, where the troubles and worries of life are shared and the burdens carried together. Sanitary science demands that thought be given to the care of the household furnishings in order that disease may be prevented. Simplicity in furnishings will help the housewife to achieve this aim. The home maker in planning must strive for standards that will develop all sides of the individual and fulfil the needs of all the members of the family. Health of mind should be sought as well as health of body.
