EXTRACTED TEXT FROM PAGE:
To stretch also means "to extend," and this is another thing home economics research must do as it moves forth to meet its challenge. It will extend if its workers will make its information available for all to know, interpreting it, and developing with teachers and extension workers new ways of making new information vital to people in their everyday lives. And finally, in a more abstract sense, Webster says that to stretch means "to put forth." To put forth, to establish new facts, new information — always more. Only thus will our profession grow. Research is its very lifeblood. Only through it can home economics meet its goals of educating for citizenship, for an improved family life, for an enrichment of living, and for the development of an individual's self-understanding.
