The posture of school children: with its home hygiene and new efficiency methods for school training


Play all audios:

ABSTRACT IT is beginning to be understood by parents and teachers that the complete education of children includes physical as well as mental training. The schools now no longer ignore the


bodies of the pupils, but by medical inspection, graded physical exercises, which are remedial when necessary, and by careful sanitation, every effort is being made to make the children


healthy in body as well as well trained mentally. In this useful undertaking doctors and teachers are cooperating, and one of the evidences of this joint endeavour is the appearance of


numerous books intended to provide teachers with scientific and technical knowledge in an attractive form. The present volume is by the assistant-director of physical training in the public


schools of New York City, and gives teachers guidance as to how to correct poor posture in the class-room, to prevent the various forms of curvature, and generally to assist normal growth.
