## Summary

The superintendence of a house, and the management, forethought, economy, and good sterling sense requisite properly to achieve this, demand as much study and perseverance as the acquisition of music, painting, or any other accomplishment. The latter are taught most sedulously; young girls are educated to delight our eyes and ears, and to shine in society: would it not be well if they were also educated to sustain a woman’s home, and often homely, duties?
