Essentials of Educational Hygiene (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from Essentials of Educational Hygiene
The remarkable movement for the improvement of school and community health in the last decade has brought the school into such close and intimate relationship with the health work of the home and the community that "school hygiene" is hardly broad enough as a term to include the various health aspects of the bringing up of children. On the other hand, the term "child hygiene" is too broad. The title "Educational Hygiene" has been adopted for the science and art of health preservation and promotion which the school can more or less directly promote through its various health agencies. When the school nurse visits the homes and improves the health of the children below school age as well as that of the pupils of the school, and when school physicians provide for consultation hours for mothers, whether patrons or not, the old-time school hygiene is broadening out into educational hygiene. This movement has but begun, and will inevitably continue to expand.
Educational hygiene, furthermore, is desirable as a term, since the subject is now taking its place in professional schools for the training of teachers as correlative with educational psychology, educational sociology, educational philosophy, educational history, educational administration, and the like. As educational administration was once termed school administration, so educational hygiene was once termed school hygiene, and the desirability of the change in college courses is probably not less for the latter than for the former.
This comparatively new science is broad in scope, covering as it does the five divisions: medical supervision, physical education, school sanitation, the teaching of hygiene, and the hygiene of instruction.
