Excerpt from Health and Efficiency This book has been written for boysand girls in the Junior and Senior High Schools. It aims to pre sent the fundamental principles of Hygiene and San itation in such a way as to lead to better health and greater efficiency. Only sufficient Anatomy and Phys iology has been included to form a suitable background for the-study of the principles of good living. From an experience of over ten years with High School' pupils the author is convinced that too much emphasis has been laid on a technical study of body structure and function and too little on the care of the body. The author believes furthermore that the study of the care of the body is of much more consequence to the High School girl and boy than is a detailed study of its composition. Many teachers attempt problems in Anatomy and Physiology with Secondary School pupils which College and University students find difficult.
