Abstract
THIS book is intended to cover the subject-matter of the Board of Education Certificate Examination for Training Colleges in England. It includes the usual anatomico-physiological “properties” long familiar in books of this order since the days of Huxley's “Physiology”: elementary ideas about structure of tissues, the skeleton, the muscular system, the circulatory system, the digestive system, etc. But the exposition is kept well within the technicalities suited to the students concerned. There are chapters on food, clothing, cleanliness, mental dullness and deficiency, fatigue, infectious diseases, temperance, school building, medical inspection and treatment, special schools, welfare of infants and young children, legislation affecting school children, and eugenics.
