Director Health Krint-at ion li-ges Practice As Well Ah Treat h iiiR Detroit, Oct. 16. ? Method* of teaching health to older school chil dren who have not been-so trained In their earlier years were discussed before today's seslon of the Ameri can Child Health Asockition's annual meeting by Miss Maud A. Brown, di-j rector of child health education in ! Fargo Vnrtfi D.ikota. tyfrere the first demonstration in the Commonwealth > Fund Child Health Demonstrafion is being conducted. In today'8 address Miss Brown ! dealt almost exclusively with the pre-adolescent boy?the youngster of 12 or 13. The subject of her paper was i "Teaching Health to Older Chll- i dren." "Of all human creatures the most difficult for the average woman to ] understand,'* she said, "is the pre adolescent male, hence he is the most J difficult to appeal to successfully. , The boy of 12 is the most male crea- ] ture, psychologically, In the world, j The woman teacher might as well be I non-existent. He merely tolerates his mother and his sister as an Irrl- j tating foreign body. The wise wo I man will combine with other wise women and see to It that there are , uvalllble good men in public places, j "In teaching health then to the pre-adolescent male, the teacher, us ually a woman, would do well to keep in the background, making her appeal to two outstanding psycholo- | gleal characteristics: "1. The boy Is at this age an en tirely self-centered egoistic male. "2. He Is a member of a gang. "Despite its dangers and abuses, I the solution of the problem of teach- | ing health to thin boy lies chiefly In . group games and athletics with some I element of competition. To ellrftl- ! nato the dangers and keep the punch Is one of the iblg helath education problems. "The Inner urge the boy feelt to ansert his entity may he capltallfted by the health teacher In loosing him into a anltary survey of the city. Let the boys fix the blame for this adult inefficiency. A sanitary survey of the school building and grounds Is valuable In the same way. "With the aonnlvance of the physi cal education teacher or the Scout Master a course in camp cootery can fill In the chink?and lo, the?>oy all unsuspecting has swallowed a large dose of health Instruction. He will use this superior knowledge to par alyse his family when he loftily re Jects the offerings of the frying pan or demands the milk but yesterday scorned os *M>ahy food.' " In plead ing that the health lesson for older children be made a part of a consis tent school program. Miss Brown de clared: "Health may be taught to little people.ln the fact of Inconsistencies. Bttt teaching health to older children must be consistent. It Is wasted breath to teach fresh air when his noss known that he never breathes fresh air either at school or at home and Mill, apparently, nothing hap pens." FRANCE BELIEVES IN PREPAREDNESS.
