Excerpt
In planning the clothing and textile work of the Bureau of Home Economics two somewhat different types of studies have been found necessary: (1) compilation and interpretation of results in this and other closely related fields, and (2) research studies for better application of existing facts and solutions of the more pressing problems.
In the beginning we have of necessity emphasized the first group of studies. Resident and extension agencies were needing material to help in the solution of the many problems coming to them. Also if we were to plan where to use our own effort to best advantage and be in a position to advise intelligently state and other agencies interested in initiating research, summaries were needed of all available information in the field. Much of this compiled material has been directly applicable to home problems.
