Excerpt from Increasing Home Efficiency
We have not found her problems even stated in print. Literature is, to be sure, peculiarly rich in cook books, and people are apt when they hear we are interested in home efficiency, to ask if we have seen the latest edition of Mrs. Pancake's volume and know the government publications on how to cook the cheaper cuts of meat, - as though the middle-class home were merely a popular-priced family dining hall! It was not the preparation of food that made our neighbor feel she was fumbling her job.

Paperback. Zustand: 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.
