Lots of illustrations and tables for "home economics"-- from education, to furnishing, to interior design; water, light, decoration, textiles; sewing patterns. A quite complete overview of all the things women were expected to master and handle in 1914."The authors feel that household arts in high schools should not be confined to problems in cooking and sewing. They are only a part of the study of home making. The questions of home organization, management, care, repair, home sanitation, and decoration, are also important." --Introduction. This book was originally accompanied by "Foods and Household Management" by the same authors.
