COMMENDATION ON THE COURSE IN BOOK FORM: 



THE OUTLOOK 



"It is true that the management of the home and the care of the family may now 

 rightly be called both a business and a profession. Looking at the subject in this 

 light, the volumes of this library may be regarded as the tools and formulae for 

 carrying on the work in a systematized and intelligent manner. ' * A wise 



discrimination has been exercised in the choice of the authors of the lessons, for these 

 writers are recognized authorities and special students in the various fields with which 

 they deal. In all cases, simplicity of statement and clarity * * * brevity with- 

 out sacrificing completeness, are qualities carefully sought for." 



THE INDEPENDENT 



"Each of these series of lessons is written by an expert one possessing special 

 knowledge on the subject concerning which he or she writes. The 



volumes are handy and are well illustrated and contain an immense amount of in- 

 formation. Things that it must take an old housekeeper years of experience to learn, 

 the young housekeeper may have here under her hand at the very beginning of her 

 regime." 



GOOD HOUSEKEEPING 



"Practically all the material needed by the home-maker who wants to know 

 about the inside and the outside of her house and the health of those within it is to 

 be found in these twelve volumes. The books are easy to read and scientific with- 

 out being technical." 



BOSTON COOKING SCHOOL MAGAZINE 



"This is the first time that an attempt has been made to gather together the 

 whole broad subject of home economics into one correlated series of volumes. They 

 give an epitome of the kind and scope of instructions given on this subject at the 

 present time." 



THE CRAFTSMAN 



"Altogether the course seems to be widely useful in its scope, and very straight- 

 forward and practical in its work." 



BOSTON TRANSCRIPT 



"These well printed and liberally illustrated volumes present a course of reading 

 and study that shows to what extent the profession of home-making and art of living 

 make for self -culture and the practical ends of our daily existence." 



CHICAGO TRIBUNE 



"Each volume is prepared by practical instructors, speaking with authority in 

 their particular lines. They are well illustrated and are calculated to diffuse a great 

 body of necessary information to those interested in household advancement." 



IOWA STATE BOARD OF HEALTH BULLETIN 



"We most heartily commend these courses to all persons interested in healthy 

 homes and the development of a vigorous people mentally, physically and, as a 

 consequence, morally."
