Excerpt from Physical Deterioration, Its Causes and the Cure
In the following pages I have brought together the main facts concerning the causes of physical i deterioration which have long been recognised by those acquainted with the people of slums, and to which recent recruiting statistics have called public attention.
The chief causes producing the physical unfitness proved to exist are, the crowding of the population into towns, where the housing and general conditions of life are unfavourable to the healthy growth of children; the deplorable effect on infant health of the neglect of sanitary precautions with regard to the milk supply; the inadequate individual attention given in most elementary schools to the physical training of the children compelled to attend them; the very general failure to give to girls in the schools instruction in hygiene, domestic economy, and the management of infants; and the want of reasonable opportunities for healthy recreation.
