MoreThis introductory text-book on physiology and hygiene is, as its title indicates, intended to precede the authors more advanced work on the same subject. The demand for a beginners book, to be used in primary grades, has been urgent, owing to the steadily increasing recognition, on the part of both parents and teachers, of the necessity of instilling in children, even when very young, an appreciation of the laws of health. The aim of this little book is not only to instruct, but to interest, its readers by presenting the subject in simple language and by using only such comparisons as are familiar to the average child. Special emphasis has been laid on the value of good food, of out-of-door exercise, of the formation of regular habits, and of right living from day to day. As in the elementary book, the effect of alcohol and narcotics is treated in direct connection with the various organs and functions of the body concerned. The illustrations have been carefully selected with a view toward helping pupils to understand the text and toward stimulating them to healthful activity. The author is especially indebted to theY oung Men sC hristian Association of New York City for their courtesy in allowing the reproduction of several illustrations of their outdoor games and sports.
