Excerpt from Work and Overwork in Relation to Health in Schools I, therefore, ask your generous indulgence. I can at all events honestly, though di idently, assure you that no one in your profession, or mine, is more keenly alive to the question Of health at school: it has been my constant, patient, and thoughtful study for upwards of twenty years; and any unusual vigour of expression 1 may adopt, you will rightly attribute to the strength of convictions produced by an earnest consideration of this vital subject.

Excerpt from Organized Health Work in Schools With an Account of a Campaign for School Hygiene in Minnesota New York City, as well as other cities, has proved that school nurses can inspect for contagious diseases. Canton, Mass, also has shown that only the nurse is needed. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Health and the School: A Round Table Recent years have witnessed notable advances in our comprehension of the conditions governing the health of children. We have been astonished at the number of defects found among them; we have received new convictions in regard to provision for air and play; and we have become acquainted with better methods for warding off disease. Nor is our attitude on this whole matter by any means so theoretical as it was even a few years ago. Indeed, the extent to which all this knowledge is nnding application, in communities of all sorts, is striking. Herbert Spencer's charge that people were generally far more interested in the health and general care of their horses, cattle, and hogs than in that of their children will hardly hold much longer. And it seems likely that good health will soon rank first, in the minds of teachers and parents, among the things that make up a good education. The realization of this promise will mark a revolution in the practice of the schools; for, in times past, they have really, if not consciously, sacrificed health for the acquisition of knowledge. Training institutions for teachers have even been among the worst offenders in this respect. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Health Education in Rural Schools The winning of the war has long commanded the atten tion of the American people. Our resources have been spent lavishly to make secure our liberties and the freedom of the world. Such a supreme crisis in our history revealed inspir ing patriotism, but also a pathetic weakness in our citizens. Out of 06 men who were examined on the first draft, a vast army of men were rejected on physical grounds. A large proportion of these physical defects might have been corrected or prevented if the schools had been doing their part to train children to conserve and improve their health. Such a serious flaw in public education must challenge the efforts of educators throughout the land. Several States, realizing the gravity of the situation, have recently passed laws making physical education obligatory and requiring a more extensive and practical teaching of hygiene.' The war has compelled us to recognize, as we never did before, the fundamental importance of health education as preparedness, not only for military service, but also for happy and efficient participation in civil life. Contrary to tradition and popular belief, country children have been found to be as defective physically and in many cases more defective than city children. Comparatively little has been done so far for the health of country children. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Suggestions for a Program for Health Teaching: In the Elementary Schools Probably no field of education within the last two years has shown more originality and vitality than that of health education. Experiments have been made not only by individual teachers but by groups of teachers on a large scale. In the midst of such inter esting developments the need of a sound program of health educa tion extending through the grades has become insistent. In this pioneer field certain ideals, principles, and methods have earned merited approval, but the work done has been limited to particular problems. Every serious student of the health situation feels this keenly, but the time is not yet ripe for a definite and complete course of study in health teaching. The whole field is still in a somewhat uncertain state. Educators in general have lost faith in the old fashioned methods.

Excerpt from Health and Medical Inspection of School Children The twentieth century has been marked by an unprecedented interest in the welfare of children, comparable indeed to the great periods of inspiration in art, in religion, and in letters which have occurred at different times in past centuries. Today the educator and the social worker receive instruction in health matters as an essential part of their training. Municipal authorities are endeavoring to reach parents by school inspection, by visiting nurses, and by public lectures and exhibits. Physicians, heretofore blind or curiously indifferent to the diseases and defects found in children past the period of infancy, have been awakened by medical inspection in the schools. The revelation that defects of the eye, the nose and throat, the teeth, and the mind may profoundly influence the general health of the individual bids fair to break down the artificial barriers which have been raised between the so-called specialties and general medicine. The aim of this book is to present a practical exposition of the work of medical inspection, born of the examination of some 35,000 children, and to give to physicians and teachers a survey of medical practice as it relates to children of school age. The subject-matter of a textbook is necessarily scientific and philosophical rather than emotional. I have endeavored, however, to provide enough illustration to give realism and human interest. A review of the work of medical inspection in different localities is not attempted. This has been done already by Gulick and Ayres of the Russell Sage Foundation, and by the United States Government, better than the author can do it. Only general information on the treatment of diseases and defects is given, as the writer does not care to participate in home medication based on incorrect diagnosis.

Excerpt from Medical Inspection of Schools This volume is a revision of Medical Inspection of Schools., published by the Russell Sage Foundation in October, 1908. The first edition was exhausted within three months, and the volume was reprinted in January, 1909, and again in December of the same year. During the three and a half years that have elapsed since the first publication of the volume there has been a three-fold increase in the number of American cities having systems of medical inspection of schools. In rapidity and extent, this development has been unequalled by that of any other educational movement in America. During these few years physical examinations have become an integral part of all the more important systems of medical inspection. The school nurse, almost unknown four years ago, is now an important adjunct of the systems of scores of cities. Dental inspection, then in its infancy, is now being carried on in nearly 200 cities. At that time three states and the District of Columbia had legal provisions for medical inspection. Now the number has increased to 20. These conditions have resulted in an increasing demand for a revision of the original text, and this has led to the preparation of the present volume. While covering much of the matter treated in the original book, the text has been entirely re-written, and the description of methods and forms, as well as the quantitative material, brought down to date. Like its predecessor, this book aims (1) To be of practical use; (2) to be a reliable source of information as to what is now being done and how it is being done; (3) to be frank in its admission of problems and difficulties as yet unsolved;(4) to avoid all dogmatism, saving that involved in the statement of actual experience.
