Excerpt from Air and the School House
The scope of the immediate discussion is confined to the human right to physical health. To prove that, as a whole, human health is miserably in arrears of its attain able possibilities requires no elaborate demonstration. The shortness, the ailments, the suffering, the ineffective ness of human life are seen upon all sides and are too often read in the faces of the multitude. The unseen and the unread evidence of that lapse are as much greater than the seen and the read as are the hidden tales of the sea vaster than those spread on its surface.
Some students of anatomy and physiology affirm that the normal length of animal life, brute and human, is five times the period required for the full development of the skeleton, or frame work, upon which the body is built. Because of the intelligence with which man is endowed, his superior ability to protect himself by housing and cloth ing against stress of cold and heat and storm, because of his range and choice of foods adapted to his varied needs, his available aids in medical and surgical science and prac tice, and skilful nursing and serviceable drugs, man should logically far outstrip the brute in the proportion of his actual to his theoretical length of days.
The reverse is woefully true. The full development of the human frame is reached at the age of twenty-one years.
