For years we have heard about "Domestic Science." It was time, some said, to see what it had accomplished, if anything. "Nothing," said the housewife used to her own ways and good ways, too. "New-fangled ideas nothing practical.", "Oh, I don't know," said the younger woman. "Give these girls a chance." That's what The Ladies' Home Journal believes in: giving a new idea "a chance." But had "Domestic Science" really done anything had it "made good" in any way? "Let's find out," said the editor of The Home Journal. So every class in Domestic Science in the country was reached: a generous money-offer made and to all was said "Let's see what you have done: What new ideas have you thought out that can make housekeeping easier?" Every "Domestic Science girl" got busy, sharpened her pencil, got her teacher busy, and the ideas began to corrie in pour in. And in this number the first ideas are given what these girls in the new Domestic Science have found out that their mothers didn't know. And, believe us, the ideas are interesting mightily so. See for yourself if they aren't.
