Excerpt from Primer of Physiology: Being a Practical Textbook of Physiological Principles and Their Applications to Problems of Health With the idea that children ought not to be taught the matter that is in a book of this kind because it may bring into their minds thoughts of sickness, the author is, of course, not in agreement. The real and vivid ideas of disease that are in the minds of children come not from books, but from personal ex perience on beds of sickness from first-hand knowledge of the suffering of disease-stricken parents, brothers, and sisters; and from the sudden vanishing of playmates and friends. As long as disease is in the lives of children, it will be in their minds, and the way to put it out of their minds is to banish it from their lives. The author has done his part in the writing of this series of books with the hope that they would do something to bring sunshine and happiness into the lives of the children that now are and are yet to be. He believes that modern hygienic knowledge is able to free our people from most of their illnesses, and that this knowledge ought to be given to the people by the schools that have been founded for their instruction.
