No  doubt,  the  work  of  keeping  the  accounts  for  the  first  two  or  three
months  will  require  a  considerable  amount  of  time  on  the  part  of  the
woman  of  the  home.  But,  if  it  is  made  a  part  of  the  regular  daily  pro-
gram, the  accoimting  will  be  taken  care  of  just  as  any  other  work  of  the
household.
The  work  will  bring  its  own  reward.  If  expenditures  are  made  ac-
cording to  a  carefully  worked  out  Plan  of  Spending,  without  question
the  result  will  be  that  a  larger  share  of  the  income  will  be  apportioned
for  the  Life  of  the  Home.  This  will  make  possible  the  broader  and  fuller
life  of  the  family  group  because  more  of  the  things  may  be  provided
that  contribute  to  the  "durable  satisfactions"  of  life.

THE  PARTNER  AT  HOME

The  Partner  at  Home,  through  wisdy  directing  her  household,  in-
creases the  family  savings  and  serves  the  State,  yet  secures  the  comfort
of  her  family,  by  contributing  productive  labor,  by  planning  her  use  of
time,  by  lessening  the  waste  of  material,  by  portioning  the  income.
Saving  is  the  household's  financial  service  to  the  state.  It  safeguards
the  family  and  serves  the  nation.
CofUribfUing  Her  Labor

Her  household  labor  adds  to  the  value  of  material.  The  work  she
does  in  cooking  food,  in  making  and  repairing  clothing,  in  cleaning  the
house,  is  productive  labor.  The  difference  in  value  of  the  raw  material
and  the  finished  product  is  part  of  her  contribution  to  the  family  income.
