SONGS AND PICTURES FOR LITTLE FOLKS

Words and Music by HELEN C. KNOWLES
Photographs by RUTH ALEXANDER NICHOLS

The material contained in the book is the result of the author’s experi-
ence with young children. Children like to ‘do things'’—the things that
little folks are doing. Children like to look at pictures—especially of other
little people like themselves. The photographs taken by Ruth Alexander
Nichols seem to have caught the delightful beauty of childhood, its freshing
naturalness and exquisite charm.

TEACHABLE MOMENTS

A New Approach to Health
By JAY B. NASH, PH.D.

Professor of Education, Chairman of the Department of Physical
Education and Health, School of Education, New York University

Here is a book that is at once a challenge and an inspiration. The author
contends that much of our health teaching has not only been a waste of
time but also that simple basic principles of health are being neglected. He
fears that we are making the children over health-conscious, getting them
to see health bogeymen hiding everywhere ready to pounce upon them,
fostering fear and distrust resulting in most unwholesome health procedures.
