filled.

Inasmuch as health cannot be taught in
any conventional way, it is necessary to
organize around what might be caliicd |

_Teachabis Moments. At least the four fol-
lowing <it.etions represent these teach=
able moments:

1. When a child exhibits curiosity.

2. When a child feels that differences
make him conspicuous.

5. When adults sre scared,

 

for their children.

‘inelly, Something to Live For. Giv-
ing children something to live for so
that there is a large degree of anticipa-
tion -- a looking forward to tomorrow --
is of importance. Joy is one of the
essential elements in health. Through
joy and happiness the individual achieves

Worth Reading

"Teachable Moments", a health book by
Dr. Jay B. Nash (A.S.Barnes & Co.), is
well worth reading. It is a much longer
but exceedingly interesting discussion
of the subject of Dr. Nash's talk at
lMicPherson, from which exerpts are given
in this number of the Bulletin. The
book was produced by request cf school
superintendents ard principals and
parent teachers organizations calling
for a health practice in terms of tho
laymen. It is a series of plain state-
ments or prinvipois based on physiolo-
vical experimentation.
