Excerpt from Domestic Economy in Theory and Practice: A Text-Book for Teachers and Students in Training
This volume is intended for students in training to become Teachers of Domestic Science Subjects. It is an effort to combine truly scientific knowledge with practical experience, so that both may have their due proportion in the training of Teachers of Cookery, Laundry-work, Housewifery and other domestic arts. On the one hand we desire an accurate scientific treatment of such elementary science as is required in this training, on the other a practical knowledge of these subjects, and of the methods by which they can make their human appeal to those who wish to learn them.
It is a discredit that Teachers should expound theories which they hold unintelligently, or which are scientifically incorrect; it is not less essential that the art taught should be practised with skill, and with the beauty of complete success. A dominant question, therefore, for those responsible for the training of Teachers in Domestic Science is how to give their due proportion to theory and to practice in this training.
It is the experience of all of us that where the aptitude for science is strong, the skill in practice is not seldom weak, and vice versa.
