Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from School Health Administration
In general, the thought is that before we can say what the public schools are or should be doing for individual and public health we must determine as accurately as possible with present-day statistics what the health needs and problems of individuals and the nation actually are, and how serious the health problem is, compared with other grave problems of life. The public school's share in the responsibilities for public health amelioration is very great, and growing, due to the lack or ineficiency of other insti tutions for such a purpose, to the admirable conditions of control in a state institution and with compulsory attend ance and general community support, and to the fact that such a large share of health mal-adjustment is due to health ignorance, and the lack of adequate health habits and ideals which it is so largely the special function of the public school to replace with positive health qualities. The princi pal problems of life, whatever they may be, and to be discovered only by a study of life through surveys or any other efficient means, furnish the problems of public edu cation.
