To the business man, time is money; but to the business woman, method is more--it is peace, comfort, and domestic prosperity.
Prudence is another important business quality in women, as in men.
Prudence is practical wisdom, and comes of the cultivated judgment.

It has reference in all things to fitness, to propriety; judging wisely of the right thing to be done, and the right way of doing it.

It calculates the means, order, time, and method of doing.

Prudence learns from experience, quickened by knowledge.
For these, amongst other reasons, habits of business are necessary to be cultivated by all women, in order to their being efficient helpers in the world's daily life and work.

Furthermore, to direct the power of the home aright, women, as the nurses, trainers, and educators of children, need all the help and strength that mental culture can give them.
Mere instinctive love is not sufficient.
