Excerpt from Use and Preparation of Food: October, 1919
The period of reconstruction, even more than the period of the war, throws a great responsibility upon the women of our country. Three great food problems face the American housekeeper to-day: To select and use food so that the problem of maintaining the food supply of the world may be met; to feed her family properly so as to maintain the health and efficiency of its individual members and thereby the welfare of the Nation; and to choose food so that the family income may be wisely used.
In order that the home makers of this country and the girls and women who are to be home makers may have assistance in the solution of these problems, this series of short-unit courses in the use and preparation of food is suggested as a basis for instruction in day, part-time, and evening classes in home economics.
