A report on the subject of science in the domestic sphere, titled "Science in the Home," early in his studies. With several spelling and grammar corrections, including underlined clauses and question marks. "Science now embraces more fields than it ever has . not merely . further removed studies, such as medicine and archaeology, but also psychology and common sense. It is equally true that each of these fields of science may go, to some degree, toward the making up of a harmonious home. Science . has contributed a number of practical appliances which have removed the drudgery . Heating, cooking and laundering appliances have become essentials . Radio has made possible many kinds of finer entertainment which were formerly enjoyed only by a certain class . The telephone has eased many an anxious heart." He b-lines into a completely different field of science in the home, that of psychology, proclaiming, ". Sons and daughters, being given a greater amount of personal freedom, emerge wiser and more reliable men and women - providing only that they are sensible sons and daughters. . Fond parents - and I use the adjective in the Mietonic sense - sometimes establish over intimate contacts with their children, or allow them too much liberty. Children are apt to rebel under either extremity - actively in one case, subconsciously in another." He brings the report to conclusion with commentary on religion. ". Men and women who do not appreciate the vastness of science and who claim that if you go against the grain of religion should think twice before speaking. Science and religion are both essentials of the home; why interfere with either of them?" The top right corner of the first sheet is signed, "Leonard Bernstein," and the second page, "L. Bernstein."
