Summary "Ontario Teachers' Manuals: Household Science in Rural Schools" is a comprehensive educational guide designed to be utilized in rural schools, likely written in the early 20th century. The manual emphasizes the importance of teaching household science to prepare students—particularly young women— for effective homemaking, highlighting practical skills related to cooking, sewing, and managing household tasks. The text indicates a structured approach to education, offering a curriculum that integrates lessons on nutrition, hygiene, and home management. The opening of the manual outlines its purpose to enhance the teaching of household science in Ontario's rural schools, where such courses have been underrepresented. The authors advocate for practical applications, encouraging lessons that can be adapted to various community needs. The introductory segments outline the courses related to home-making, emphasizing simplicity in teaching methods, and the necessity for students to gain essential skills for their future roles in maintaining their homes. This introduction sets the tone for a series of detailed lessons that follow, covering everything from kitchen management and food preparation to sewing techniques and care for family members, aiming to raise community living standards and cooperative efforts within rural settings.
