Excerpt from School Hygiene
In this work the author has endeavored to set forth the conditions which should surround pupils at school, in order that their mental and physical health may be thoroughly protected. He holds that it is in the highest degree incumbent upon school authorities to provide the best attainable conditions, not only to protect, but also to promote the health of pupils committed to their care. The school exists for the betterment of the state of society. In its equipment and management the newest and best recommendations which are approved by science should at once find their way into adoption and use. The home may be educated to a great extent through the school. As the school, therefore, reacts closely upon the home, a knowledge of that which is hygienically best can in no other way be so quickly and thoroughly diffused. The author desires to express his thanks to Supt. Charles E. Gorton of Yonkers, N.Y., for valuable suggestions and careful reading of a large part of the work, and also to his colleague, Linnaeus E. La Fetra, M.D., for suggestions and additions to the chapter on Diseases which Concern the School.
