Household Accounts The woman in the home partnership often handles the greater part of the family money and keeps the accounts. The bureau of home economics of the United States Department of Agriculture believes in keeping records of family expenditures for the same reasons that business accounting is considered important. The various groups of home expenses -food, housing, clothing, and so on may be compared to the different sections of business enterprise. Without a satisfactory system of records there would be no way for the business man to know which departments were well managed and which needed to be reduced. In a similar way any group of household expenses must stay within the budget for that group. It is not enough, therefore, merely to list home expenditures in miscellaneous order and add them up. They must be classified under definite heads, so that they can be analyzed, and used as guide to future spending. To simplify the home-maker's task in keeping track of household expenditures, the bureau of home economics has planned a loose-leaf account book with marginal indexes and concise directions for entering expenditures under the correct heads. There are pages for estimating the yearly income and probable expenditures, for recording insurance and investments, for making a summary of property owned and a household inventory. Special pages are furnished for farm families who depend in part on home-grown products. The account book may be purchased for fifty cents in cash from the superintendent of documents, Government Printing Office, Washington, D. C. The department of agriculture has no supply for free distribution.
