Household Management (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Household Management What are the conditions, this social worker may ask, necessary for health and full physical and mental development? Science is not yet able to give us a complete and final answer; yet we are by no means wholly without authoritative guidance. Later chapters of this book will at tempt to answer the question in simple, everyday language, in so far as the findings Of science and the teachings of experience make an answer pos sible. Meanwhile it may be well for us to realize at the outset two facts: wholesome living con ditions cannot be provided without intelligent thought, neither can they be provided without at least the smallest income which, with skillful management, will buy the material necessities for maintaining a normal home.
