Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from General Science
We hear a great deal about the conservation of our natural resources, such as forests and waterways; it is hoped that this book will show the Vital importance of the conservation of human strength and health, and the irreparable loss to society of energy uselessly dissipated, either in idle worry or in aimless activity. Most of us would reproach ourselves for lack of shrewdness if we Spent for any article more than it was worth, yet few of us consider that we daily expend on domestic and business tasks an amount of energy far in excess of that actually required. The farmer who ?ails his grain instead of threshing it wastes time and energy; the housewife who washes with her hands alone and does not aid herself by the use of washing machine and proper bleach ing agents dissipates energy sadly needed for other duties.
