The book I got this out of is named "The Art of Homemaking" by Daryl Hoole. It may not be in print anymore as it's 3rd edition was published in 1967. However, the author was a SAHM, then was asked how she kept up with her house and 6 kids so often that she finally started teaching a night class to new wives, then was hired by Brigham Young University to teach the home enrichment course, then she wrote the book on what worked best.
