HOUSEHOLD MANAGEMENT
CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
Until a comparatively recent period, education was regarded mainly as a
means of training the intellect, but this conception of education is now
considered incomplete and inadequate. Our ideas of the purpose of
schools are becoming broader, and we have decided that not only the
mental nature, but all the child's activities and interests, should be
given direction by means of the training given in our schools. We
believe also that these activities and interests can be used to
advantage in assisting the mental development.
Household Management aims to educate in this way, by directing the mind
to ideas connected with the home and by training the muscles to perform
household duties.
