THE CORNELL READING-COURSE FOR THE FARM HOME 



This course was instituted so that the problems of the farm home could 

 be studied in the same scientific way as are those of the farm. The lessons 

 are on such household subjects as relate to food, shelter, and clothing, and 

 are accompanied by discussion papers. The discussion papers contain 

 questions that bring out the point of view of the practical housekeeper. 

 As a result there has been a large personal correspondence with the women 

 of the State, who are at liberty to ask questions at any time relating to 

 their home problems. The Reading-Course for the Farm Home is free 

 to residents of New York State. A lesson is issued each month. For 

 further information address the Department of Home Economics, College 

 of Agriculture, Ithaca, New York.
