Both are subject to conditions which handicap their success. In the case of the curriculum, the adverse condition, more often than anything else, is inanition. And strangely enough, it is Hygiene that suffers most as a general rule. It seems incongruous that a subject which ought to be invaluable in influencing the health of every school child should be the invalid of the curriculum. The encouraging thing about the situation is that the period of convalescence seems to have arrived. The importance of health work in the schools is being realized as never before. The work does not stop with instruction: the teacher follows it up with the kind of stimulus that makes the informational aspect of hygiene carry over into every phase of activity. Volumes have been written on the therapeutics of Hygiene. Some prescriptions have been empirical; others have been prepared after a careful diagnosis of the patients condition and a study of its needs. Many of the best texts, however, lack the necessary directions. Too much seems to have been left to the teacher who administers the tonic. Not infrequently the teacher has neither the professional training nor the time required for assuming with any large degree of success the responsibility of looking after our sick, albeit convalescing, subject - Hygiene. If it develops that the lesson outlines suggested here serve in some measure as stimulating doses of health instruction that the teacher can successfully administer, the purpose of this book will have been served.
