In order to find the ground for setting the cost-consumption units scale, unity representing the cost of all goods in homemaking education. I want to explaim the marked discrepancy between our estimates of family and those commonly given, by introducing the conception of Pitkin's "the family as a consumer unit". I found some of the important suggestions for our homemaking education for the future. They are as follows : (1) Recognition of the fact that a family passes through definite stages in its life cycle. (2) The differences in the ages of the earners and their family members during the various stages show the variation in patterns from occupational group to occupational group. (3) The typical family tends to be somewhat smaller as a consumer unit than as a biological group. (4) There should be increased pupil-teacher-family planning in setting up objectives, in determining ways and means for achieving these objectives, and in evaluating human development of their lifetime.
