Personal Hygiene (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Excerpt from Personal Hygiene

This textbook of Personal Hygiene is designed to instruct pupils in the modern science of hygiene and sanitation. It is adapted to young pupils, and its language has been carefully adjusted to their comprehension and interest. It meets the requirements of the most modern courses of study in physiology. It contains the essential facts of anatomy and physiology that are necessary for understanding the care of the body, but it places emphasis on the proper performance of voluntary acts rather than on a scientific observation of involuntary actions and hidden structures.

The test of the value of school instruction is its usefulness in the daily lives of pupils after they have grown up. The actions that are discussed in this book are those over which the mind has a direct control, and the knowledge that is. imparted is applicable to the daily acts of every child throughout his life.

This book is the result of years of experience and observation by the author, not only as a teacher and lecturer, but also as an active health officer.
