AB This book is intended primarily for teachers in rural schools, with a view to aiding them to present to their classes the elements of hygiene. The author, we are informed, was born in the country, attended rural schools, taught in rural schools, served as a member of the county board, and has been for several years an instructor in hygiene and child study in normal schools. With this excellent equipment he has prepared a book which is well worth while. It presents the elements of the subject in simple language, and follows each chapter with suggestive class exercises and a list of bibliographic references, which will enable those wishing further knowledge to find it. It is to be hoped that those interested in the administration of our rural schools will avail themselves of the opportunity offered them to improve hygiene and hygienic instruction through the use of this textbook.
