Excerpt from The Home and Its Management: A Handbook in Homemaking With Three Hundred Inexpensive Cooking Receipts

Every woman or girl who studies homemaking does it because she knows that some day, from the bricks or stone or wood that go to make a house, she must create a home. The house may shelter the family, but home is what makes life easier and better for each member of it; home should give health to the tired body and nerves and refresh the mind. The home must have a certain sense of harmony that will bring a feeling of pleasure to all who come into its circle. It must have order, just as truly as school education must be orderly. Each home must have what we call individuality; that is, it must not be just like every other home, but express the people who live in it. The law recognizes the difference between the mere structure or building and the idea of a home where human beings grow and develop. There are "Building Codes." These have to do with construction only. Then there is a "Housing Code" in nearly every city which regulates the sanitary condition of houses.

Health in the Home.
