Excerpt from Mental Hygiene of the School Child This book on mental hygiene is designed primarily for teachers, and the applications that it makes of mental hygiene principles refer primarily to school situations. Mental hygiene is a new and welcome point of View in education, representing the convergence of several streams of thought. As the name implies, it is a part of the great field of hygiene which emphasizes the well-being of the indi vidual. It crystallizes newer curriculum tendencies which stress adjustment and integration of the personality as Important goals of education. It makes possible the conservation of the interests of the whole child which the departmentalization of schools has threatened. It pro vides for the transfer to the school, in part, of the last remnant of child training that has been the exclusive prerogative of the home. It focuses attention anew on the problem of discipline, making application of all' that has been gleaned from recent developments in psychology and the study of the personality. Whereas this book is designed primarily to interpret the meaning of mental hygiene for teachers, the principles discussed, to be really effective, must have been practiced in early childhood and ought to be the possession of every parent as well as of teachers.

Excerpt from The American Journal of School Hygiene What was then true of schools is still to a very large extent true. Schools are notably institutions for giving a rather narrow type of intel lectual memoriter training. Their houses have been erected on small plots of land little larger than is needed for the buildings themselves, and have not taken into consideration the importance of play and outd001 physical education; they have provided one or more class rooms in a building with seats screwed to the floor and arranged for sedentary book reading; they have provided teachers who to a large extent are unlearned in the physiological aspects of children and of education. In many cases, as very recent school health surveys are appallingly illustrating, they have failed to provide in this library-school room even the first ele ments of adequate sanitation and hygiene.

Excerpt from The Elements of School Hygiene: For the Use of Teachers in Schools, With a Bibliography IT is a matter of practical experience that the Choice of a School-site can seldom be determined upon by hygienic con siderations solely. The munificence of some philanthropist, the proximity to residences of its scholars, and the value of the land, are among many of the potent factors one has been obliged to contend with, and necessity, rather than option, has thus but too often proved; the guiding rule.'

Excerpt from Health Work in the Schools Educational hygiene has four chief divisions: (1) The Hygiene of Physical and Mental Growth; (2) Health Supervision in the Schools, including methods of health observation and teaching; (3) the Hygiene of Instruction; and (4) the Hygiene of the School Plant. The first of these divisions has been treated by one of the authors of this book in The Hygiene of the School Child, which has appeared as an earlier number of this Series, and the third, by the same author, is in preparation. The fourth division is to be covered by another author, and is also in preparation. The present volume deals with the problems in volved in health supervision, health examination, and hygiene teaching, in other words, with the second of the above divisions; and it is hoped that it will con tribute materially to the standardization of health supervision and to the broadening of its scope. Every one must realize that a great amount of what goes by the name of medical inspection of schools can be called health work only by courtesy. All along the line, among superintendents, teachers, school nurses, school boards, and even school doctors, education is needed which will lend a broader vision to the purpose and possibilities of genuine health supervision.
