Excerpt from Home Demonstration Work, 1923
The greatest schools for the human race are our homes and the common schools - not our colleges and universities - greatest in amount and value of the knowledge acquired. A country home, be it ever so plain, with a father and mother of sense and gentle culture, is nature's university, and is more richly endowed for the training of youth than Yale or Harvard.
The farm must be made a place of beauty, so attractive that every passing stranger inquires: Who lives in that lovely home? The house is of minor consideration - the gorgeous setting of trees and shrubbery holds the eye.
If much can be done to interest boys in their life work, more can be done. For girls. Teach them to mend and sew and cook; how to doctor; how to dress a wound or make a ligature; how to adorn the simple home and make it appear like a palace; how by a simple arrangement the environment of the home can be transformed into a place of beauty. In the United States: the art of cooking is mainly a lost art. There are communities where not to be dyspeptic is to be out of fashion. If we could have some lessons on how to live royally on a little, how to nourish the body without poisoning the stomach, and how to balance a ration for economic and healthful results, there would be a hopeful gain in lessening the number of bankrupts by the kitchen route.
