A book that will help every classroom teacher to realize
the aims of the new Health Education Program

GF

This text presents in simple and clear fashion the modern methods and
materials of health education for teachers in service.

Each of the ten chapters is preceded by an outline of the material contained
in it. At the end of each chapter is a list of pertinent questions for study
and discussion.

The instruction given is concrete and definite. The material is usable in
the classroom. Graphs, charts and forms aid the teacher in applying the
instruction given in the text to her actual classroom situations.

Note both the logical and the psychological organization of the book in
the table of contents given on the back of this circular. The first chapter
gives the definitions of health education in all its aspects. The chart on
page 10 shows clearly the divisions of school health education and their
relationships with each other. Chapter Two discusses “The Nature of
the Child’ under such headings as (a) New Concepts of the Child,
(b) Health Education as a Practical Art, (c) Growth and Development,
(d) The Normal Child, (e¢) The Emotional Nature of the Child, and
(f) The Economics of Illness. The material on child nature in this chapter
will be found helpful in many cases of maladjusted children.

Other chapters deal with Healthful School Living, Health Service, Con-
struction of the Health Curriculum, Health Instruction, Materials for
Teaching Health, Tests and Measurements in Health Education, and
The Health of the Teacher.
