Abstract
The Homemakers' Committee decided to make its chief task for study, the expenditure of time by Iowa housewives. It desired to discover: (1) How much time Iowa housewives are spending on housekeeping in general and on different household tasks in particular; (2) How are Iowa housewives spending their leisure; (3) How much time constitutes a fair standard for the performance of certain tasks.
