Excerpt from First Book of Physiology and Hygiene When the author undertook the preparation of a little book in which the outlines of Physiology and Hygiene should be presented in a simple and attractive form, the task did not seem so difficult as it has proved to be. Feeling that some thing more was necessary than merely to string the manifold facts together, loosely like so many beads, an attempt was made to give them a more coherent form by grouping them round certain central ideas which made an appeal to the imagination. Such a method promised to arouse the interest of young readers, and at the same time to furnish them with a framework into which knowledge afterwards acquired could be fitted. Small though the measure of success in this direction may be, it is hoped that the book will be of some value to junior students. Simple language has been used throughout and technical terms have been avoided, so far as possible. The main ideas have been emphasized by a certain amount of repetition, which serves to impress them upon the mind and at the same time presents the subject in true perspective. It is a great pleasure to the author not only to express indebtedness to Prof. R. A. Gregory for his valuable advice and criticism, but also to offer sincere thanks to Mr. A. T. Simmons for his help and suggestions. Acknowledgment must also be made to the Delegates of Local Examinations, Oxford, and the Syndics of Local Examinations, Cambridge, for permission to print a selection of questions from papers set in their Examinations in Physiology and Hygiene.

Excerpt from First Book in Hygiene: A Primer of Physiology In these lessons for young children simple language is used in the presentation of such facts about the structure of the body and its functions as are necessary for clear and definite knowledge of the general laws of health, including the effects of alcohol and narcotics. This book is for the use of pupils just beginning to learn something of the care the human body requires in order to insure the full enjoyment of health. The value of a primary book upon any subject depends both upon the language used and the varied forms of appeal to the child's mind, in order that his interest may be aroused. In this book there are few complex sentences. There is, also, such frequent alter nation in story, written exercise, and observation, picture, memory, and reading lessons that the subject-matter cannot become trite. The lessons are so logically arranged, and so pedagogically co-ordinated, that every sentence, every ques tion, every picture, every poem, every written exercise, forms a vital part in the presentation of hygienic law as an educational whole, in a form most readily comprehended by the child. Anatomy, strictly speaking, is a science the study of which requires the more mature mind of the advanced high school or college student. Only such basal facts of thebody's structure are here presented as are necessary for a clear understanding of the laws of health.

Excerpt from First Book on Anatomy, Physiology, and Hygiene, for Grammar Schools and Families: With Eighty-Three Engravings To the teacher we would suggest the propriety of calling on a pupil of the class, to describe the anatomy of an organ from an anatomical outline plate; after wards call upon another to give the physiology of the part, while a third may state the hygiene; after which, the questions at the bottom of the page may be asked promiscuously, and thus the detailed know ledge which each pupil possesses of the subject will be tested.

Excerpt from First Lessons in Physiology and Hygiene: For the Use of Schools 1. Physiology. - The term Physiology is derived from Greek words which mean a story about nature. At first physiology included all kinds of natural study; but, as the word is now employed, it is the science which treats of the uses and actions of living objects. Human physiology is a study of what is done by and in the living human body. It is a study about our selves, about the uses and actions of all parts of our bodies - head and trunk, hands and feet, brain and nerves, stomach, heart, and lungs. It teaches us about the movements of the body; about feeling, seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting, and thinking; about eat ing, breathing, keeping warm, growing, wasting, and dying. Animals and plants represent living nature. Minerals represent lifeless nature. Animals and plants are born, live, grow, and pass away according.
