Σελίδα 58 - States are suffering from malnutrition, as general physical underdevelopment is commonly designated, says the advisory committee on foods and nutrition of the National Child Health Council in a report that will soon be published by the US Public Health Service, which cooperated in its preparation. Malnutrition, continues the report, is not confined to any...
Σελίδα 69 - Children should be given a chance for self-expression. "Mental stress and strain begin when one's work is not the expression of his desires but conflicts with them." School has so many times meant just this conflict. Unfortunately most pupils find their real interests outside of school. The school which gives its pupils an opportunity to respond naturally to feeling, and inspires permanent interests in rich and varied experiences is doing much to encourage wholesome attitudes of mind.

Σελίδα 6 - Normal, robust children, free from defects and disease so far as humanly possible, with wholesome ideals built upon a groundwork of healthful habits developed in their early years, should be the goal of all school health work. The thing to be desired is not only the maximum of health during school life, but its fruition in young men and women who shall have sound bodies, sound minds, and a happy outlook upon life which will enable them to contribute most to the future of the Nation.
Σελίδα 16 - Healthful development in its broadest sense should be a primary aim of all education.

Fire escapes should not be found upon school buildings designed for the highest degree of safety unless they are planned as inclosed stairways and the pupils are required to use them for regular passage at least once a day....
Σελίδα 38 - The modern study of psychology and mental hygiene has put a tremendous emphasis on the significance of the various forms of motor activity, and especially what we call physical exercise. Its educational, mental, and moral significance is greater than any, except perhaps a few of its most enthusiastic devotees, have imagined. Physical education * * * should give the fundamental basis of psychophysical development from which special forms of motor skill can be healthfully differentiated.
Σελίδα 59 - British committee gives 100 to 93 mm.—3§ to 4 inches.) For beginners lines should not end in the middle of a word. Series of short lines by the side of illustrations should not be used. Margins should be sufficiently wide so that the eye does not swing off the paper, and those next the fold of the book should be wide enough to prevent printing from being hidden by the curvature of the paper. Type should be clean-cut, making lettering with clear and well-defined lines, especially in the upper half,...
Σελίδα 59 - make up" of school texts is important. Authorities are practically agreed as to the fitness of the following requirements: Paper should be white, without gloss, opaque, and sufficiently hard so that type does not press through. Illustrations should be plain and^ without fine detail, especially in the lower grades. Ink should be good black and evenly distributed over the page. Maximum length of lines should be 90 mm. (The British committee gives 100 to 93 mm.
