Summary "Public School Domestic Science" by Adelaide Hoodless is an educational text focused on teaching domestic science, written in the late 19th century. The book is intended for use in public and high schools as a curriculum guide, emphasizing the importance of food, nutrition, and household management for young women and future housekeepers. It serves to equip students with practical knowledge regarding health, cooking, and the science behind nutrition. At the start of the text, the author outlines the rationale for introducing domestic science into school curricula, highlighting the significance of understanding diet and its impact on health. The opening discusses the necessity of teaching the relationships between food, the body, and overall well-being, asserting that adequate knowledge can prevent a multitude of health issues caused by poor dietary habits. The preface sets the stage for the detailed exploration of cooking methods, food classifications, and the nutritional makeup of common foods that follows, with a clear intention of making this knowledge accessible and practical for students.
