Abstract
This study is the first step to examine the attitude toward homemaking education. Scale was made, measured and general opinion investigated both in quantity and in quality. Twenty representative opinions were selected by Thurston's equal-appearing intervals. As a result, mean value proved to be 5.1, which seemed to be in some degree affirmative. While men's mean value is 5.3, women's is 4.9 a little more favourable than men. As regards the selective ratio, 84% admitted a strong relation between homemaking and daily life. And 73% regarded homemaking education as necessary for both sexes. However, more than 50% paid no attention to its importance, and therefore effort is requested for all concerned.
