Excerpt from How to Keep Well: A Text-Book of Health for Use in the Lower Grade of Schools With Special Reference to the Effects of Alcoholic Drinks, Tobacco and Other Narcotics on the Bodily Life
We can move of our own free will from one place to another. The Wind may rustle the leaves, and a breeze may sway a strong oak; but the leaves and the oak have no power to move themselves. We need not wait, like the trees of the forest, for the Wind to blow us to and fro, or, like the pebbles by the roadside, for some one to stir us. Like the horse, the dog, the bird, or any other animal that has life, we can move from place to place.
Again every child cannot but notice that he is always warm. Even in the coldest day of midwinter, let the stones and trees be as cold as the Winter wind, Our bodies, except perhaps the tips of the fingers and toes, are always warm. The horse, the dog, and even the birds and the bees, are warm all animals, in fact, are more or less warm as long as they are alive.
