PROGRAM MUST
COME, SAYS Or. RUCktR
Essential to Include Mental and Physi-
cal Health in Educational
PrOgramS.

THE time has come when the T..
W. C.. A. challenges the present edu-
cational system say DIR. Augusta
Rucker, head of the health division
of the bureau of social education of
the National Y. w. G. A.
Crime Is due to a lack of practical
knowledge of mental health. The
program of the division of health is
an attempt at turning over practical
knowledge of health to the individuals
of the world. 1t is an attempt at
characterization of health education.
Health has too long been consid-
cred as a responsibility hat must he
borne, a debt hat must be grimly
paid with interest to society. We are
only just beginning to recognize
health as a maker of the radiantly
beautiful. as a converter of the crea-
ture into q creator. This is health.
mental and physical, that We want to
present to the women OF the world.
that they may help US to present it to
the whole world"
In outlining the health program
being in%augurated by the Y. w. c. A.,
DR.. Rucker explained the necessity of
having health centers" where the
individual may be examined and given
suggestions AS to the improvement of
her mental and physical health. In
this regard DIR. Rucker says: I'VE
have been led now to believe that
there can be no health in it's com
%pleteness for the individual without
work for the individual. The fight is
now against any work which is not
a ifty-ffty friend of health. 1t is up
to every leader in Y. w. c. A. work,
through her own life of health. to
give Others an understanding of
health.
Health farms and camps will have
to become a permanent part of the
machinery of the Y. w. C. A. If the
association is going to serve as a de-
.veloper of world citizens of the finest
type, in DR.. Fuckers estimation.
These farms, when put into operation.
will be variously located Yer the
country, where all forms of health
giving exercises can be had through
the summer to make the years work
in the city go with health and vigor."
