Introductory Physiology And Hygiene Vol 1 Of 4 PDF Download

Excerpt from Introductory Physiology and Hygiene, Vol. 1 of 4: A Series of Lessons in Four Parts Designed for Use in the First Four Forms of the Public Schools A word of explanation is perhaps necessary as to how these lessons came into existence. In August, 1904, the Education Department expressed to Mr. E. J. B. Pense, M.P.P. for Kingston, a desire to improve the model schools of the province. The communication was transmitted to Dr. Dyde, then Chairman of the Kingston Board of Education, and, as a result, arrangements were made that three short courses of lectures (one of which was in physiology and hygiene) should be given to the teachers-in-training in the Kingston model school during the autumn. After three or four demonstrations had been given, it became apparent that, if the instruction was to be made effective, some model lessons would have to be taught to school children in presence of the teachers-in-training, and so it came about that ten lectures, or most of what is included in Part IV of the book, were given in the University Buildings to the students of the model school, and most of the lessons in Parts I, II and III were taught to pupils in the first four forms of the Kingston public schools. In nearly every case the lessons are published in the form in which they were prepared and taught. A few have been added in order to complete the new curriculum. They varied in length from ten minutes in Form I to twenty minutes in Form IV. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
