Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from d104iles: A Handbook for the Student and the Consumer
The growing emphasis upon textile study in college depart ments of home economics or household arts, and the increasing use of the textile industry as teaching material in other depart ments and other grades of schools, shows a recognition of the part that the textiles are playing in the development of civiliza tion and in our everyday life. Interest in the subject is still further accentuated by the movements now on foot to regulate the social-economic conditions in the textile and clothing indus tries and to secure standardization and honest labeling of textile products, as is being done for food products by the pure food laws.
