Excerpt:

1. THE HOME MAKER
By SARAH LOUISE ARNOLD
Formerly Dean of Simmons College

The Keeper of the House. Every Girl Scout knows
that good homes make a country great and good; so
every woman wants to understand home-making Of
course that means "keeping" a house; and of course that
means that Girl Scouts should try for the Housekeeper
Merit Badge, the "Home Maker."
Now "making a home" doesn't mean just having it,
owning it and holding its key. It means making it a
good place to live in, or helping to make it so. This
sounds like the House that Jack built ; but all this belongs
to the making of a home.
