Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Food for the Worker: The Food Values and Cost of a Series of Menus and Recipes for Seven Weeks
This volume is offered in the hope that it may be suggestive in working out the difficult problem of making ends meet. An adequate wage or income, however, is the only economic basis on which to meet the requirements of life.
To Miss Winifred Gibbs and other workers in social fields of home economics we feel a debt of obligation. Our thanks are due to Professor Mendel for his stimulating and friendly ad vice, to Dr. Neuton Stern for helpful criticism, and to Miss Alice Bradley, of Miss Farmer's School of Cookery, Boston, for reading the recipes. To many of the social service group, 'to members of our immediate families, to all those authorities whose publications we have freely consulted, and to others who prefer to remain unnamed, we make grateful acknowledgment.
But above all, from Ellen H. Richards, with whom we both have been associated, came the basic stimulus and inspiration which directed the thoughts and activities that made possible this little volume.
