It is not claimed that this list is imperative for each and every girl.
She must adapt it to her special needs. It is merely a typical list. And
if the young woman who reads and ponders it does not know how to adapt
it to her own needs, she certainly is not fitted to undertake her own

trained in household science and there study the science of utensils and
the chemistry of cooking and cleaning, and the whole science and art of
home-making.
