Description

"A book for the teacher, parent and social worker which is a plea for better living conditions as a first step toward higher human efficiency. Mrs. Richards means by euthenics 'the betterment of living conditions through conscious endeavor, for the purpose of securing efficient human beings." -Book Review Digest "A timely book....Nine-tenths of the questions which absorb the energies of most legislators are petty compared with those discussed by the talented New England woman who does so much to make the fundamental physical sciences serve higher human efficiency. In a wasteful age and land, this message is needed. The table of activities and methods found at the end of the volume is an admirable summary of the argument and a definite program for community action." -The Dial "While this little volume has many valuable suggestions for the direction of public action the most helpful part of it, perhaps, is the table of analysis of agencies and methods of promoting public health." -American Journal of Sociology "Very practical, suggestive chapters, especially for women whose awakened civic and social consciences have prepared them for effective doing." -A. L. A. Booklist "Mrs. Richards points out that it is through increase of scientific knowledge, not through chance or compulsion, that right conditions or control of environment will be brought about. Eugenics deals with race improvement through heredity, euthenics with the same problem through environment. Euthenics precedes eugenics, developing better men now, and thus inevitably creating a better race of men in the future." -The Outlook "It was Mrs. Richards who gave us the word 'Euthenics,' the science of controllable environment, and no one did more than she to help thinking people to realize that home economics is an important aspect of sociology and economics rather than merely one of the minor useful arts. She defines the term as follows: 'Home, meaning the place for the shelter and nurture of children or for the development of self-sacrificing qualities and of strength to meet the world; economics, meaning the management of this home on economic lines as to time and energy, as well as to money.'" -Atlantic Educational Journal
