Abstract
THE Office of Education, United States Department of the Interior, has issued a bulletin “Credit Problems of Families” (Vocational Division Bulletin No. 206, Home Economic Series No. 23) to aid teachers of home economics in guiding students in an understanding of the place of credit in family financial management and in the solution of their own credit problems. Credit has played an increasing part in recent years in the financial plans of American families, and this study, which covers both credit for everyday use and long-term uses of credit, is intended to assist the understanding of the principles governing the sound use of credit. Numerous suggestions to teachers are included.
