Excerpt from The Principles of Health Control
An earnest effort has been made to place every phase Of the subject upon the basis of cause and eject and to eliminate as far as possible the interminable maze of guesswork which is the bane of much hygiene teaching. That every sound prin ciple has its basis in some physiological condition is axiomatic, and to portray the means through which a given cause produces its effect is necessary to correct teaching and thinking. To facilitate the work of reviewing such facts of physiology as under lie health principles, and to which only brief reference can be made, occasional page references are given to two high school physiologies Hough and Sedgwick's The Human Mechanism and the author's Physiology and Hygiene for Secondary Schools. For investigating topics that go beyond the present text in matters of hygiene, Rosenau's Preventive Medicine and Hygiene and Harrington's A Manual of Practical Hygiene are earnestly recommended. For collateral reading, Gulick's Efiicient Life, Pyle's Personal Hygiene, Galbraith's Personal Hygiene and Physical Culture for Women, Allen's Civics and Health, Hoag's Health Index of Children, Drummond's An Introduction to School Hygiene, and Coleman's The People's Health will prove most interesting and helpful.
