Excerpt from Anatomy, Physiology and Hygiene for High Schools In no branch of education is this connection between knowledge and conduct or welfare more direct than in that which deals with the study of our own bodies, and of the laws and practices which must be observed in order to maintain a condition of health and activity in these bodies that is, the study of physiology and hygiene. For upon the Observation of these rules of hygiene depends the preservation of health, a first essential for usefulness as well as enjoyment in life. He can best and most intelligently observe these laws who is familiar with and understands the facts from which they are deduced, the phenomena of physiology. This study should therefore be a part of the education of each and all of us. It should be taken up in youth, for it is during this period that the organs and tissues of the body, the frame, the heart, the brain, are growing and taking on the character which they keep throughout life, and that the practices and habits which are the most deep seated and fundamental are forming. The health and character then acquired often prove the bed rock of the Whole physical, mental, and moral development. The errors committed then are often irreparable, and it is the province of our educational systems to insure that at least these errors shall not be committed through Ignorance. In preparing a text book for this purpose of general education in the schools, the point to be kept most In mind IS the unity of the subject.

Excerpt from Standard School Physiology Hygiene Anatomy The authors of this book, believing, as they do, that the study of no subject in the school curriculum can yield greater practical benefit to the student than the study of physiology, send it forth in the hope that it may add a little to the sum of human knowledge upon this important subject. It is almost incredible that the study of physiology, by pupils in public schools, should have been so long delayed, and that its great importance should have received so slow and inadequate a recognition. This volume is believed to be adapted to the capacities and needs of students of academies, high schools, and the higher grammar grades. In school systems where the subject has been studied by the pupils from the time of their entering school, as is required by law in some of the States, this book will be found adapted to use in grades as low as the VIIth (seventh year in school), or possibly the VIth. It is also thought to contain as much as should be required in public or preparatory schools. Acknowledgments of the authors are due, and are freely made, to J. Howard Morgan, M.D., of Westerly, R. I., for his most painstaking reading and criticisms of the manuscript; also to Professor Elizabeth V. Gaines, of Adelphi College, Brooklyn, for her valuable criticisms and suggestions.

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.
