Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Physical Examination and Training of Children: A Handbook, for School Medical Inspectors, Physical Directors, Teachers, and Parents There is ground for encouragement in the outlook for the race in the more rational modes of living that each year are coming more and more into vogue. In no way is this improvement better evidenced than in the stress being laid upon physical training and particularly upon physical training in the formative period of life. At this time much can be accomplished in the all-round development of the growing child, and in the correction of those deficiencies, which, if allowed to go uncorrected, result in a fixed deformity, constituting a pronounced handicap in the struggle for existence. Medical inspection of school children, originally designed simply to prevent the spread of infectious diseases, like all other reforms, has developed far beyond the original lines mapped out by those who instituted it. The author of this book takes advanced ground, and, in a very practical way, shows himself a pioneer in the movement for child-development. The book is really a compend for the use of school medical inspectors, physical directors, teachers, parents and those concerned at all with the physical well-being of children.
