Excerpt from Crowley's Hygiene of School Life When asked by the Publishers either to write a new book on School Hygiene, or to re-write Dr. Crowley's book, the choice was not far to seek. Dr. Crowley foretold so accurately the lines on which School Hygiene has developed in the last few years that the outline provided by him has required but little extension; in fact, to several of the chapters slight alterations only were necessary. A new chapter, however, was needed on the work of the School Medical Service in relation to Juvenile Employment. Mr. Edward Brown, the Superintendent of the Bureau of Physical Welfare in New York, has been instrumental in obtaining for me information with regard to the United States, whose admirable work in the sphere of medicine applied to Public Health has not received in this country the study it merits. I am indebted to Dr. Forbes and Mr. Gilbert Simpson for looking over the re-written chapters on Infectious Diseases and School Building respectively; several other friends and colleagues have afforded valuable assistance.
