Excerpt from Domestic Economy for Scholarship and Certificate Students
In preparing the present volume the author has attempted to provide for teachers a concise and clearly-written Domestic Economy which shall entirely cover the syllabus of the King's Scholarship and Certificate Examinations. While omitting nothing necessary to meet the requirements of these examinations, the writer has endeavoured to exclude extraneous matter. It has been her aim throughout to present the subject in an attractive and simple manner so as to remove from the path of the student as many difficulties as possible; and in furtherance of this idea numerous illustrations have been introduced.
The writer has no doubt that teachers of Domestic Economy, as well as students, will find the work helpful in preparing lessons for their classes.
Domestic Economy is a subject of wide range, comprising not only the skilful Management of Domestic Affairs, and the wise Expenditure of the Income, but, in addition, the Laws of Health with the Physiological Principles underlying them, the Management of the Sick, and the Treatment of Ailments and Accidents.
The chapters on Hygiene, embracing Food and Beverages, Water, Clothing, and the Construction, Lighting, Warming, Ventilation, and Cleaning of the Dwelling, have been treated on the scientific lines now generally demanded, and would serve equally well to meet the requirements of the same sections in the syllabus for the examination in Hygiene by the Science and Art Department.
