Excerpt from Domestic Science: A Book for Use in Schools and for General Reading The author has endeavored to bring together, in a simple manner, such topics as have a direct bearing upon the science of domestic operations. His object has been to direct attention to daily household affairs, - affairs indeed, which to many are too common to be deemed worthy of earnest thought. The kitchen and the pantry may be made a laboratory for the elucidation of many important facts of science; and as interest is aroused in the necessary labors of the household, much of the unwelcome air of drudgery will vanish from such work. As it is plain that the duration of our mortal existence permits the exploration of but a small fraction of the domain of knowledge, careful judgment should be exercised in the selection of subjects of study; the practical and utilitarian aspect of modern systems of education testifies to the wide recognition this fact has received among the people in general. In this book, no effort has been made to secure an unduly elaborate or an exhaustive treatment; a large work would be poorly adapted for class use, and much detail might discourage the general reader in his study. Liberal reference has been made to the works of recognized authorities on the subjects treated; in such cases, acknowledgment has been made in the body of the work. A few passages are reprints of articles that have appeared over the author's signature in local periodicals.
