Excerpt from School Hygiene
The importance of Hygiene to the community at large, and more particularly to the younger members of the race, is now at last becoming generally recognised. Moreover, medical inspection of some kind has now become compulsory in schools. No excuse, therefore, is necessary for the appearance of this book, dealing especially with the hygiene of children and of school life: the experience of the author in lecturing to large bodies of teachers throughout the West Riding of Yorkshire and also in the Midlands has shown him that there is need for such a text-book.
The subject-matter in this book largely consists of the material of the various courses of lectures to teachers referred to above. It is believed that it provides a thorough course in the practical hygiene of child and school life. Efforts have been made to make it self-contained, and to assume no previous knowledge of the subject, but at the same time care has been taken to avoid the introduction of an unnecessary proportion of theoretical information, and to explain the more difficult portions of the subject in the simplest language available. While fully recognising the value and importance of a sound knowledge of physiology to a teacher, yet the author has been careful to eliminate all unnecessary physiological facts from the book, and to include only such physiological details as are necessary for the clear explanation and appreciation of hygienic rules.
