Henry, Manager i health and a new division of content material has given rise to three dis- tinct subjects. Health Education, Heath Supervision, and the Hygiene of Instruction. While each of these subjects has for its primary objective the attain- ing and maintaining of buoyant health in every pupil and teacher, the func- tions of each division are quite dis- tinct from those of the other two. The subject of Health Education has been defined in the following terms: "The sum of all experiences, in school and out, which favourably influence the habits, attitudes, and knowledge of individual, community and racial health." This field is concerned with the con- tribution made to health by all of the subjects in the curriculum and so guides the presentation of the subject matter that the health lesson may be -appreciated and made effective. The field of Health Supervision pro- motes a complete health examination of every pupil and teacher, finds means for the correction of defects and disorders, maintains control of communicable diseases, and estab- | lishes healthful conditions of the school plant. The Hygiene of instruction so | governs the curriculum, the division of ! recess periods, the school equipment, ', and the classroom discipline so that health benefits will accrue. This paper is concerned with the field of Health Education. In the past health was quite universally viewed as absence from disease, was confined to the physical organism, and was handled only by the medical pro- fession. A new and broader phil- osophy of health is accepted. to-day which views it as "an abundance, soundness, and worthiness of life", include physical, social, and mental A Rayon Georgettte. one dozen in this offering at 98c.

School health pro- cedures: are being featured so that, to-day, they command an important plaee in every curriculum. Who should handle this programme of health education in the Schools? The subject belongs to every teacher on the staff and it should permeate every lesson. If the subject of health is confined to a particular class period and is handled as an isolated subject, it is usually ignored by all other teachers and at all other times. Such a procedure reduces health instruction to the giving of information and usualy achieves a negligible result. The possession of health knowledge is no guarantee of healthful living. In the elementary grades the class- room teacher should handle this pro- gramme and, if the administrative personnel allows, should be guided by an expert who serves as Supervisor of Health Education. It is quite pos- sible for the capable classroom teacher to give health instruction as the op- portunity arises naturally in all sub- ficing the content to a health motive. Ih the high school the health instruc- tion will fall to the Special teacher handling that subject. The success of the school health programme is mainly dependent upon. the training of the prospective teacher and, there- fore, give the heaviest burden to the teacher training institution. Many such institutions have not awakened to the necessity of requiring an ade- quate course in health education of every prospective teacher. All too often a course is given in physiology or in the symptoms of communicable diseases, neither of which fits the teacher to carry on a modern pro- gramme of health education. The course should familiarize her with the health habits and attitudes suitable to each age of childhood, the know- ledge governing these habits, and a 'thorough knowledge of educational psychology so that her teaching methods may result in the formation of desirable health habits to govern living. = If the health teaching is to funetion in the life of the pupil it must be guided by the principles of educational psychology. Healthful living habits are not formed by handing out a mul- titude of cut-and-dried facts but rather they are formed -in résponse to teaching which adheres closely to the laws of habit formation. 1.

The individual tends not to repeat or learn quickly those reactions which are accompanied or followed by an annoying state of affairs, While repetition is essential, that alone will not form a habit but must be supplemented by a desire in the mind of the individual to perform the act and a satisfying result from the performance. Why is it that one child must be forced or bribed to eat a fresh vegetable whereas another eats it with a relish? Possibly because the parent of one has attempted to form this nutrition habit by force, bribery, or the constant admonition that "you must eat your spinach be- cause it is good for you." The little child is not usually interested in per- forming the act because it is good for him and, in fact, such a fact, often builds an antagonistic attitude. The parent who strives to make the vege table so attractive in appearance and so palatable as to be enjoyed by the child the first time he eats it and who gives a reason more appealing to a child than his well-being is leading 'oward the habit of healthful eating. It should always be remembered that the attitude which is formed in the mind of the child when perform- ing the act is a determining factor in the repetition of the act. The little child who is carried screaming from fright into the ocean surf does ndt particularly enjoy the occasion or an- ticipate its repetition, whereas the child who is allowed to play around the water and, thus, become used to it in, a natural and happy manner may never experience the fear which often prevents efficiency in the healthful and happy activity of swimming. There has been a distinet change from" giving health information to forming the desirable health habits and attitudes, and supplying only sufficient knowledge to make the act appear worthwhile to the child. It is important that children should be led to form the habit of out-door play rather than indoor exercises but it would be poor pedagogy to start with a classroom lesson on the medicinal value of sunshine. ¢ A procedure of modern education which is invaluable in health teaching is the use of the project, or purposeful activity. This educational practice often will show the child the need for a particular health habit -and at the same time supply sufficient knowledge. The habit of drinking sufficient water may often be achjeved by the project of having each il care for a living plant which is supplied with an ade- quate amount of water the first week and an inadequate amount the follow- ing week. A careful record should be kept of its growth and an application made to the habits of living' so that the pupil will realize that
