About this book

Public School Domestic Science is a comprehensive instructional manual originally designed for use in public schools to teach the foundational principles of domestic science, also known as home economics. Authored by Adelaide Hoodless, a pioneer in the field of domestic education, the book provides a thorough exploration of the essential skills and knowledge required for efficient household management and healthy living. The text covers a wide range of topics, including nutrition, food preparation, meal planning, sanitation, personal hygiene, and the scientific principles underlying everyday domestic tasks. Structured as a practical guide, the book offers clear explanations, step-by-step instructions, and numerous recipes, making it accessible to both students and teachers. It emphasizes the importance of cleanliness, economy, and nutrition, advocating for the use of fresh, wholesome ingredients and the adoption of hygienic practices in the kitchen and home. The book also delves into the chemistry of cooking, explaining how different methods of food preparation affect nutritional value and taste. In addition to culinary instruction, Public School Domestic Science addresses broader aspects of home management, such as budgeting, laundry, and the care of children and the sick. It encourages readers to approach domestic tasks with scientific curiosity and a sense of responsibility, highlighting the vital role of domestic science in promoting public health and well-being. Rich in historical context, the book reflects the educational values and social expectations of its time, aiming to empower young women with the skills necessary for self-sufficiency and effective household leadership. Today, Public School Domestic Science stands as both a valuable historical document and a practical resource, offering timeless advice and insight into the art and science of home management.
