Excerpt from How to Keep Well: A Text-Book of Physiology and Hygiene for the Lower, Grades of Schools
Owing to a demand for a revision of this book the author has undertaken to rewrite, rearrange, and illustrate its several chapters in harmony with the latest ideas of teaching this branch of study. In this edition, as in previous editions, the author has aimed to present clearly and tersely the simplest facts concerning our bodily life.
The author believes that instruction in physiology is of little value to pupils in the lower grades of our schools merely as a scientific study. It is of profit only so far as a text-book for these grades is a means to enable young boys and girls to understand the simple laws of health and apply them intelligently to their daily living; yet if they are to understand even the plainest rules of health they need to know something about the structure and use of the various parts of "the house we live in." To this end a few facts about anatomy and physiology have been presented in each chapter.
To make the book more attractive and interesting to the young student, the author has used a familiar style, weaving into the text such incidental matter as may serve to arouse the interest and maintain the attention of young pupils.
