INDORSEMENT

WE, the undersigned, have carefully examined the school text-book
entitled

INTERMEDIATE PHYSIOLOGY AND HYGIENE,

by PROFESSOR WINFIELD S. HALL, M.D., and JEANNETTE WINTER
HALL, with reference to the following points:

1. Fullness and accuracy of subject-matter relating to the nature
and effects of alcoholic drinks and other narcotics upon the human
system.

2. Amount of matter on general hygiene.

3. Presentation of matter with regard to its adaptability to the class
of pupils for which it is designed.

We are satisfied that on all of these points, as well as in the
regular anatomy and physiology, the treatment is as complete as is
required for a book of this grade, and fully in harmony with the
results of the latest investigations. We therefore heartily indorse
the book for Lower Grammar Grades, or for corresponding classes in
ungraded schools.

PREFACE

MAN is a part of the great harmonious and united realm of nature. The study of the human body is therefore a legitimate part of the nature study of the schools.

The method which has met the universal approval of all true teachers in nature study is for the pupil to observe directly and with his own senses the objects to be studied. In harmony with this fundamental principle of pedagogy the authors of this book have endeavored to use every opportunity to make the human body the object of direct study by the pupil. Through this method the pupil becomes interested in his body and its

care.

Especial attention is called to the various comparisons between the human body and the bodies of the lower animals. The object of this comparative study is to impress upon the mind of the pupil the unity of nature, and to cultivate in him a love and sympathy for the lower animals.

When physiology is seen to be an integral part of nature study work and of the biology of our educational system, it will not fail to be one of the most interesting studies of the whole curriculum.
