[Apostle Wilford Woodruff Journal] ...I do not know of a More important thing than for those women who know to keep a school to teach others to keep house. I have seen women pretend to keep House. Make tea first then fry meat then Boil potatoes & at last make Bread. There are but vary few good House keepers. But when you find one you find a woman that knows what to do.
The female Relief Society would [should] take this matter in hand & teach young women the art of House keeping. Have a place for Evry thing & Evry thing in its place. Learn the girls to be Book keepers so they Can tend the stores & keep accounts. Also let the Sisters get up a Cheese Factory & make Cheese for the people, Make Bonnets Make Cloth shoes & let your Daughters Marry Good men if they have 40 wives.
