Excerpt from Physiology and Hygiene for Children In order that children may readily understand the story of their bodies, it is told in clear, simple language, and with a minimum of technical terms. Great care has been taken in the treatment of each chapter and topic to observe the relative importance of the various organs. Those which have more important functions are de scribed in greater detail than those whose functions are less important. The interdependence of organs has also been kept prominently in view, in order that the pupil may realize that he is learning about an active living body, and not about isolated parts.

Excerpt from Health Reader: Physiology Hygiene While it has seemed advisable in some places to use words which children do not understand, their meanings have been given so that they may know what they are reading about. The dry details of the usual form of study on this subject have been entirely eliminated. The child who reads this book properly under competent instructors will have a new view of life, a better under standing of his environment, and a clearer conception of what is good for his health. He will be asking himself continually, when new duties and new pleasures present themselves, or new foods come to his attention, this question: Is it good for me?

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 Physiology and Hygiene for Young People IT is realized to-day, as perhaps never before, that our most precious possession is good health. There never was a time when greater effort was put forth to make it possible for chil dren to grow up with strong, healthy bodies, and for grown people to live and do their work under healthful conditions. In the preparation of this book the authors have made it their chief aim to present the essential facts of. Personal, domestic, and public hygiene in such a way as to render the book an efficient ally of the forces that are working for healthy living. A man entrusted with the care and running of a machine far less intricate than the human body is expected to know all its parts, and their relations to one another, before he is fitted to run the machine at its greatest efficiency. It is equally reasonable to expect that one is best fitted to care for his body, the machine with which he must do all his work, only when he knows its parts and the work that each should perform. Accordingly, in this book a sufficient amount of anatomy and physiology of the organs of the body is given to make their hygiene intelligible.

Excerpt from Physiology and Hygiene The illustrations are made clear and distinct, and are labeled directly; that is, the detail labels are on, or very close to, the part labeled, so that time and effort are not needed to associate the thing and the name. A large number of the illustrations are original. A few simple experiments are given; for although much less can be done than with older students, yet considerable must be done if the subject is to be made clear.

Excerpt from Anatomy, Physiology, Hygiene The facts of Anatomy and Physiology are put as sim ply and clearly as possible; something in the way of object lessons, with the child himself as an object. The pupil is encouraged to look in the fields and markets to see the truth of the statements made, and is constantly referred to the pictures that illustrate the text for a bet ter understanding. Common diseases are mentioned, and the habits that lead to them emphasized. The book is in two parts, because it seems wiser to learn the parts and uses of a machine before attempting to run it, and the dependence of the systems is so inti mate that a knowledge of all should precede an attempt to study the hygiene of any one.
