Chapter XXVII: Book I

_Schoolmaster._—“All the facts are presented in the
same lucid and simple style, so that very young
readers can understand them. The book will carry
health and happiness with it, so that we hope it will
find its way into many a school for boys as well as
for girls.”

_Head Teacher._—“Full of good advice that should be
within reach of all.”

_Lancet._—“The book is divided into 30 lessons: the
subject matter of each is well arranged and simply
expressed.... Can only do good to those who read it.”

_Educational News._—“It is appropriately simple in
diction, carefully arranged, and quite sufficiently
full of information for the young people whom it is
meant to serve as a Class Reader.... A special word
of praise is due to the photographic illustrations.”

_Teacher._—“We have looked carefully through the
pages of this little book, and believe it will
be exceedingly helpful to teachers. It is simply
written. Each lesson is practical, concise, and
interesting.”

_Teachers’ Aid._—“The physiology necessary to a proper
appreciation of the laws of health is delightful in
the simplicity of its treatment, while the simple
way of pressing home the truths of hygiene in a
language suited to the capacity of young children
is considerably enhanced by the novel and original
illustrations which consist of photographs specially
taken for the purpose. To teachers taking the subject
in school we can most cordially recommend this
reader.”

_Child Life._—“From the scientific point of view the
matter is very valuable, and such as every boy and
girl should know before they leave school.”
