Excerpt from School Hygiene
The personality of an author and the extent of his preparation are of course always important as a ready means of estimating the value of his work, but more so in some subjects than in others. School hygiene, which may be looked upon as a concentration of the principles of architecture, sanitary engineering, psychology, pedagogy, and preventive medicine upon the physical conditions of school life, requires more than a superficial acquaintance with these matters, and is in fact so broad a field that, as an American expert has said, it is more than enough in itself for a life work. The possibilities of one-sided treatment, also, are very great. It might be scholarly yet not practical, adequate in some parts but wanting in others, or comprehensive and yet without the proper balance, proportion, and connection. As a subject, school hygiene must therefore be placed high in the list of those in which personality, scholarship, and experience play a prominent part.
