Excerpt from Open Air: A Statement of What Is Being Done and What Should Be Done to Secure Right Air in Homes, Schools, Offices, Factories, Churches, Etc
To produce vitality and efficiency in adults and children seems to me the greatest kind of work. In these pages are shown what is actually being done in this important line. By emancipating children from being required to learn where the conditions produce disease and prevent learning, we are of real use in the world. By showing adults how they may be well and efficient we help the social and business world. By inducing the people of our country to rear their children so they will be well and strong instead of thin-blooded, suffering, and weak, we render patriotic service. By helping those who have the care of souls to do their work without the active opposition of nature, we aid the church.
Nobody would believe it wise to feed a child predigested food. We are all agreed that the teeth, the salivary glands, the stomach, and its juices should do their work in building up human growth. In other words, we think the child who is well should be permitted to continue well because properly exercised along the digestive tract.
No sane person would argue that the growing child should not use his muscles. We know well that only by exercise is hardness attained. More than this, the member that is not exercised loses its power.
