FOREWORD.
This little book is primarily a note book for Domestic
Science Freshmen in which to keep records of laboratory work
according to outline. In it will be found information always
desired at the beginning of the course, with some recipes
M^orked over in former years. It includes, with some other
foods, fish and shellfish of this locality.
The course of study for rural schools is added for outline
and suggestion in first years of teaching.
SOME DEFINITIONS.
Home Economics is the study of the sanitary, economic and
a?sthetic aspects of, food, clothing and shelter, in regard to
their selection, preparation and use by the family in the home
and by other groups of people.
Economics is the science which treats of the production,
distribution and consumption of wealth.
Economy pertains to the management of an estate, com-
munity or establishment.
Household : the family, including servants and other in-
mates.
Science : knowledge gained by observation, experiment
and reasoning ; coordinated, arranged, systematized.
Art : skill, dexterity or the power of performing certain
actions acquired by experience, study or observation.
The study of food, clothing and shelter conducted in pub-
lie schools, normal schools, colleges, etc., has received dif-
ferent names, as Home Economics, Home Science, Household
Science, Household Management, etc. A committee of the
foremost professional workers of the country decided that
the name Home Economics best expresses the meaning and
purpose of the study, and the official organ is named "Journal
of Home Economics."
The American Association of Home Economics, composed
of teachers, professors, food experts and scientists connected
with the work, meets annually, usually at the time and place
of meeting of the National Educational Association.
The Lake Placid Conference, under the direction of Dr.
and Mrs. Dewey, made the first effort toward organization of
Home Economics and has been a constant inspiration and serv-
ice. This organization meets annually at Lake Placid, in the
Adirondack Mountains.
When Newcomb College was founded in 1886 by Mrs. Jo-
sephine Louise Newcomb as a memorial to her only child,
Harriet Sophie, her letter of gift to the Tulane Administrators
contained this clause: ''I request that the education given
shall look to the practical side of life as well as to literary ex-
cellence."
In accordance with this idea Dr. Brandt V. B. Dixon, Presi-
dent of the College, organized a training school for teachers
in Home Economics in the year 1909.
Courses of two years are offered, leading to a diploma,
with two additional years for a degree.
Freshman Year. Sophomore Year.
