Excerpt from Healthy Living, Vol. 2: Principles of Personal and Community Hygiene Year by year the preservation of health becomes more and more a problem which requires the intelligent cooperation of the individual with the specialist. Physicians rely on personal hygiene or the conduct of the daily life rather than on drugs. Health departments are less interested in restrictive ordinances than in public health education. In order, however, that the teachings of the physician and the health officer may bear fruit, they must take root in a soil which has been thoroughly. Pre pared for their reception. A sound fundamental knowledge of the principles of physiology and hygiene and sanitation thorl oughly diffused through the community is essential to real progress in the future. It is in the schools that the basis must be laid, and this book has been prepared in the hope that it may be of some aid in laying it soundly. In the portion of the book which deals with physiology and personal hygiene, the attempt has been made to eliminate all needless anatomical detail and to dwell on the working of the living machine with its wonderful complexities and correlations. Since the writer approaches the subject from the standpoint of a biologist interested primarily in public health, special stress has been laid on the relation of the living machine to its environ ment, and particularly to its microbic enemies. The marvellous achievements of public health science during the past decade make it important that every boy and girl should know some thing of the problems of municipal sanitation, of the campaigns against infant mortality and tuberculosis, and of the conquest of insect-borne disease on the Isthmus of Panama.

The author of Principles of Public Health has here set forth the general rules of life by the observance of which every adult and every child not only can do much to preserve his own health but also can prove himself a prominent factor in raising the standard of public health. A campaign of education is demanded to arrest the enormous loss of life which is carrying so many to untimely graves, and the instruction given in this volume will be of inestimable value in teaching people how to avoid avoidable disease. The author has not attempted to deal with all the diseases that may be classed as preventable; as the work is intended for use in the public schools, only such diseases are mentioned as it seems fitting to present to school children. To teach our children a proper respect for their own health and for the community welfare is to fit them for the best citizenship.
