Abstract
IN a previous article (January 23) reference was made to the teaching of physiology and hygiene in schools. At the London County Council Conference of Teachers a considerable portion of the programme was concerned, directly or indirectly, with these subjects. Prof. Starling presided at the fourth session, and referred to the training in physiology of the teacher and the training in physiology or hygiene of the child. It was sufficient if the child was brought up with the knowledge of the rules of right living, but these rules were founded on physiology, and the teacher must have reason for the faith that was in him. On that ground the Physiological Society had appealed to the Board of Education to provide additional facilities for the study of physiology by teachers, and to make such study compulsory.
