Preface

An important aspect of education is helping young people to form a scale of values. The Government of India and the state governments have recognised the value of the study of Home Science as a major subject for students of Higher Secondary schools and also colleges.

This book covers comprehensively and very effectively various aspects and diverse fields of Home Science. It has been updated and made suitable by incorporating new sections. Adequate illustrations, figures and informational tables have been supplied to make understanding easier and clearer. The test papers given at the end provide a tool for informative feedback and evaluation as well.

While the purpose of the book is to serve as a text for the Higher Secondary schools (both vocational and academic), it can also be used as reference in libraries, colleges and schools. Thus the book is both a text and a reference book and a valuable guide for anyone interested in household arts.

Foreword

This textbook on household arts by Smt. Stella Soundararaj comes at a time when the demand for such a study is on the increase. In other fields of knowledge such as industry, agriculture, science, economics, history, art and archaeology, India has made rapid strides since Independence; but in the art of keeping house, old methods hold us in bondage. No doubt conventions of the past were wise and valuable for those times; but the hourglass pours out hours, days, years and centuries, bringing in their wake radical changes and demanding a like change in all spheres of life. In this busy world of industry, the human being looks more and more for a happy and peaceful home, a quiet corner to which to retire and feel at peace. And what this book sets out to do is to show the housewife how to create such a lovely spot.

Home-making sounds simple enough, but its underlying principles are so forceful that a successful home-maker is bound to send out into the world people who are healthy and happy and prepared for all the vicissitudes of life. The author of this book has woven the ingredients of Home Science-plan of the house, beauty of the home, food and cookery, child care, etc-into the art of home-making in such a fascinating way that it makes interesting reading not only to the student of home science or the housewife but also to the other partners of the home, the father and the children.

In conclusion, I commend to all this lucidly written book which brings into focus methods of making a success of the home, the institution whose individual success implies the progress of a nation and whose failure would mean the deterioration of a nation. May its reading and study help to create an atmosphere of love and joy in each home of this our beautiful land.
