new BOOK ON CARE
OF HEALTH FOR FLA,
SCHOOL PUPILS

Train up a child in the way he
should go. Give him start and be
sure it's the right start
1t seems very much as if the hope
for the best things hygienicaIly for
Florida must be through those who
are now children in the public schools,
for the present generation of grown
ups is too unwilling to move very far
in the direction Of better sanitation
and better living. It is too set in its
ways and those ways are not the ones
in which it should go.
To be sure there is a goodly num-
Der Of up-to-date thinkers, and they
act up-to-date, too, but compared with
the mass of the population they are
but bunch of pioneers, whose ear
nest efforts probably won't bear much
OF a crop, excepting through the chill
dren whom they are influencing.
In face of these conditions, it is
matter of congratulation to note the
recent publication of a booklet under
the title: Health Is Wealth. Man
ual of Health Work Prepared for the
Schools of Florida" The authors of
the work are DR.. Harry F. Watts, city
health officer Of Ocala, and Miss Mel
lie c. Stevens, principal of the pri-
mary school Of the same city. The
book has been approved by the Flor
ida Women's Christian Temperance
union and made official for instruc-
ton in the schools of the state by the
state superintendent of public instruc-
ton, Prof. ". n. Sheats.
1t is well for the wisest of US to
go back once in while to first prin-
ciples-to study over again the pri-
mary facts on which the superstruc-
ture of our more advanced thinking
and living is based. While the va
rious subjects considered in this book
are handled in an elementary stvIe.
it contains in clearly worded senten-
ces the basic facts of proper hygienic
living and sanitation. Every page has
something for the child and for his
father and mother, too.
The title for chapter one is Air
1t defines air from the chemical view
point and discusses the effects of i'm
pure air in its relations to disease.
1t takes up the question of ventilation.
Of respiration, the lungs and the or
gans Of breathing, and the chapter
closes with suggestions TO the teacher

nected with the general subjects con-
sidered in the chapter.
Foods are treated in the next chap
ter subdivision-what are pure foods
and how to get them and how to deter
mine their purity and how to prepare
them for eating. There is a concise
consideration of nutritiye values and
of digestion. In this chapter teeth
are discussed-how to keep them
clean and preserve them
What we drink is considered in the
next chapter. Water, pure and i'm
pure, tests for purity, mineral waters.
milk. tea and coffee, cocoa. chocolate
and soft drinks, and their uses and
values are discussed.
The skin is described in chapter
four. Bathing, the care of the nails
and hair, clothing and changes of
clothing for different conditions and
surroundings are considered.
Habit-forming drugs-chapter five
are next taken up with a careful dis
cussion Of patent medicines.
Communicable diseases and disease
prevention is one of the most i'm
portant subjects in the book. Brief
and concise treatment covers the va
rlous important diseases, with an ont
line OF germ transference.
Emergencies is the title of CHAPTER
seven, with some valuable sugges-
lions for first aid in cases of acct
dents, poisoning, snake bits and
Fourth OF July wounds.
The home, tobacco and alcohol ara
the headings of the three concluding
chapters of the book, and the suh-
Jects are ably and inteIligentlv han
died.
1t is an encouraging sign that a
book of this nature has been annrovod
for use in the education of pupils in
the public schools of Florida Il
should be read and studied earnestly
and thoughtfully in a majority of Flor.
