Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Backward Children in the Public Schools: With a Preliminary Study on the Relation of Physical to Mental Defects in School Children The age of our race between 6 and 15 years is a distinctive one, from the fact that the problem of diet, so important in infancy, decreases with the corresponding increase in bodily activity. So, also, the prevalence and effect of contagious disease suffer a reduction. For these reasons the mortality rate decreases progressively, and the probability of survival becomes steadily brighter. The age of development, however, is one in which the subsequent physical and mental welfare is largely predetermined. Though the child´s life be fairly safe, his fortune still lies largely in the hands of his parents, his environment, his teacher, and his physician. First must be met the burdens of heredity, producing thousands of sickly, deformed, and neurotic children. A perpetually (or rather, life-long) acting force is here to be combatted and reckoned with. Second to heredity is a poor city environment, with its lack of fresh air and its improper diet of canned foods. Exposed to these influences healthy infants succumb, and join the ranks of those already suffering from rickets, anæmia, and adenoid nasal obstruction. Finally, the ignorance of parents causes indifference to the damage already done, and adds premature decay of the teeth to the existing list of evident physical imperfections. Are these injuries to the health of the child also harmful to his mind? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
