Economics has been studied by man in one way or another for thousands of years •. Yet the ultimate marriage or the two into home economics had. to wait until qaite recent times, to not mueh longer ago than halt a century.1 Home economics. resulting tram & Marriage between the eoncepts or home and economics.. has been defined in var10us w~s. 'l'h1e series or definitions outlines the essential background trends in home economics. The Lake Placid Conference ot 1902 formulated the following detlnite statement :regarding the essenceot home econom1cst ROIIl8 economics in its Most comprehensi'V'8 sense is the study ot the laws. conditions.. principles and ideals which are concerned on the one hand with man's immediate physical environment and on the other hand with his nature as a soeial being, and. is the study .e8pecia1~ of the relation between these two factors. In a narrow sense the term is given to the study or the empirical sciences with special reference to the practical problems of house work, cooldng, etc. lHew Y.ork Times, June. 28, 1959. 16. 6 III tol'lliDg • c_lete det1D1t1on, hcMmtr, lt -.r be poeslble to cOD81del" helle· econcn1cs ae .. philosOphical subject, 1.e., a etud7 of relation, vh1le the subj_cte on vb1ch :I. t depend8, t.e. ecenomc., 800:1.01087, oheJl:letr,y, h7g1ene and others an eap1r1cal in thell' aature and concerned with events and pheno.ena.2 Ms tirst lengtlr¥ de1'1ntUon i1l9'01_8 a studT of relatiouhips.
