BOOK I.

_Schoolmaster._—“All the facts are presented in the same lucid and simple style, so that very young readers can understand them. The book will carry health and happiness with it, so that we hope it will find its way into many a school for boys as well as for girls.”

_Head Teacher._—“Full of good advice that should be within reach of all.”

_Lancet._—“The book is divided into 30 lessons: the subject matter of each is well arranged and simply expressed.... Can only do good to those who read it.”

_Educational News._—“It is appropriately simple in diction, carefully arranged, and quite sufficiently full of information for the young people whom it is meant to serve as a Class Reader.... A special word of praise is due to the photographic illustrations.”

_Teacher._—“We have looked carefully through the pages of this little book, and believe it will be exceedingly helpful to teachers. It is simply written. Each lesson is practical, concise, and interesting.”

_Teachers’ Aid._—“The physiology necessary to a proper appreciation of the laws of health is delightful in the simplicity of its treatment, while the simple way of pressing home the truths of hygiene in a language suited to the capacity of young children is considerably enhanced by the novel and original illustrations which consist of photographs specially taken for the purpose. To teachers taking the subject in school we can most cordially recommend this reader.”

_Child Life._—“From the scientific point of view the matter is very valuable, and such as every boy and girl should know before they leave school.”
