The Hygiene Of Schools Or Education Mentally And Physically Considered

Excerpt from The Hygiene of Schools: Or Education Mentally and Physically Considered It is somewhat remarkable that no English author has written on the subject of School Hygiene, or given us any authentic data for the guidance of those who enter upon the grave responsibility of education; especially that part of it which relates to tho physical development of youth. It is true, that Montaigne, Locke, Frœbel and Lancaster have laid down certain rules, which differ more or less in themselves; and as a whole are indefinite and unsuited to the altered circumstances of the present age. The object of this little work, is to set forth the opinions of recognized authorities on this subject, contrasting them, and adapting, them to our present social condition so as to eliminate the maximum of good, and to balance evenly their mental and physical relation in the important work of converting the child into the man. Food, exercise, clothing, sleep, : recreation, and punishment, all pass rapidly in review; as well as the important elements of air, light, heat, and ventilation; in their influence to produce health on the one side, and deformity on the other.
