made no provision for physical ae-

failed to encourage play and whole
some recreation, we have failed to
provide proper working conditions,
we have neglected to provide plenty
of good drinking water and individual
drinking cups, to provide bathing
facilities and individual towels, and
have taken very few precautions Tor
the prevention of diseases. Most OF
all, we have assumed no responsibility
for the health habits of the children,
we have not taught them specifically
how to prevent disease and protect
themselves in the concrete situations
in which they daily find themselves
and we have not built up through the
schools the necessary health sentiment
among our people or developed a SEN
sitive health conscience. All OF these
health habits, health information,
health D lblic sentiment, and healtn
conscience must be accomplished IN
the elementary schools, for the SIM
ple reason that the majority OF our
Alexandria gazette. [volume] (Alexandria, D.C.) 1834-1974, 1921-12-08

Health Habits. Public sentiment
and knowledge alone will not suffice.
Many of us know better than we do.
Much depends upon the establishment
of health habits, and this must be
done in early childhood before wrong
habits and physical tendencies have
begun to do their undermining work.
Responsibility of the Schools IN the
Matter. In the matter of health the
schools are guilty of sins of commits
sion as we'll as sins of omission. They
have possibly done as much positive
harm, contributed as much toward the
breaking down of the public health
as any other single agency. The IN
dictment against US includes eye
strain, from improper lighting; near
sightedness from fine work; poisoning
from poor ventilation; nerve exhaus-
ton from eye-strain, long hours, from
lack of mental relaxation, lack of ply
steal relaxation, lack of wholesome
fun and play, from night work, and
from over-heated and underheated
rooms. Other indictments are dis
enlargement of the habit of drinking
water, Encouragement Of going to
toilet; improper posture with attend
ant ills of chest and abdominal con-
traction and spinal curvature; poor
circulation from hanging feet; to say
nothing of the dissemination of chill
dren's diseases. Our schools have at
times been almost distributing cen
tiers of disease, while we salve our
consciences with ideas that diseases
do not hurt children, that they had
better have them while they are small.
ETC., etc.
On the omission side we have neg
lected physical education, we have

are of bedbugs and lice. Epidemics Of
children's diseases must come to be
a disgrace. We must take the same
pride in being a flyless community as
in having good buildings or streets
or roads.
Then, we need to develop more
sensitive health conscience. We must
feel the duty of the thing, the crimi-
nality of neglect, the pain of the con-
science prick. At present we are not
only not disturbed by such matters,
we are often not even conscious of
the unhealthful things we do. Often
it does not even occur to US that We
are exposing some one else.
Dissemination of Knowledge OF
Means of Prevention. In addition to
educating public sentiment we must
disseminate among the people reli-
able information concerning the pre-
vention of disease and of physical in
capacity. Intense ignorance of the
laws of health and of means of pro-
noting physical efficiency prevails
everywhere. 1t is this ignorance that
makes our people the victims of pa
tent medicine exploitation and of their
own false notions as well-ideas, for
instance, that night air is injurious,
that boils are healthful, that having
