Description

Excerpt from A Second Course in Homemaking With Two Hundred Inexpensive Cooking Receipts
The object of this book is to teach homemaking by doing the actual work connected with the home.
Talking about work is not doing work. This book is written for those who would make their hands their perfect tools. To do this, theory and study must go hand in hand with action. No lesson is learned when you can recite it; it is still a lesson until you can do it; only then it becomes a habit, for a habit is "aptitude or facility acquired by doing frequently the same thing." We are told too that habit is also "an action which by repetition has become easy, spontaneous, or even unconscious." The method of teaching homemaking in a Housekeeping Center is action with explanation interspersed; never explanation with action interspersed.
The season of the year is considered in the arrangement of the chapters; as for instance "Preserving Fruits" comes naturally as Chapter I, to be studied at the beginning of the school year, when fruit is plentiful.
