About This Book

A practical handbook presenting ideals of womanhood and concrete methods for guiding girls from childhood through adolescence toward efficient, fulfilling homes and occupations. It combines discussions of social expectations and domestic science with pedagogical advice for parents and teachers, covering early moral and practical training, mechanics of housekeeping, and the girl's inner life. Later chapters classify occupations, examine how different vocations relate to homemaking and are shaped by training, and consider marriage as part of vocational planning. The volume concludes with suggested readings and resources for implementing vocational education and home-making instruction.
