Up to the present, with rare exception the precise terms of the getting and spending of professional people has been shut away in the romantic and shadowy domain of home life, " hopelessly private," ' ' sacred." Conventions in high repute, a code of behavior that opposite habits of mind will style discreet or foolish, at present shroud in silence the details of what professional families buy.Canons of conduct run almost unquestioned to the effect that it is bad form to ask details of domestic ex- penditures or to give them.Indeed, many persons see something vulgar, ridiculous or unseemly in any exact showing of the way family income goes.be the criterion of the consumer's rationality.Economists will then, it is hoped, find in the fol-xii PREFACE tention to treat the data dispassionately.The reader is at least assured of an earnest wish to interpret the findings without bias.It is hoped the study will seem as exact and free from partiality as it is intended to be.In any case, the tables per- mit each reader to draw his own conclusions
