Synopsis
Excerpt from Interpretation of the Smith-Lever Act
If much can be done for boys to interest and instruct tham.in their life work, more can be done for girls. Teach them to mend and sew and cook; how to doctor; how to dress wound or make a ligature; how to adorn the simple home and make it appear like a palace; new'by a simple arrangement the environment of the home can be transformed into a place of beauty. In the United States the art of cooking is mainly a lost art. There are communities where not to be dyspeptic is to be out of fashion. If we could have some lessons on how to live royally on a little; how to nourish the body without poisoning,the stomach; and how to balance a ration for economic and healthful results, there would be a hopeful gain in lessening the number of bankrupts by the kitchen route.
