Schoolage Children

This book representing the views of twenty contributors, the majority of whom are physicians, is intended as a reference book for teachers, school administrators, nurses, and other professional people working with school children. Their material is clearly presented and readily comprehended. A glossary which has been included should be useful to teachers and school administrators. The bibliography is very spotty and incomplete. The twenty-one chapters deal with many of the subjects pertinent to the health of schoolage children and to school health services.

School health services cover three main areas which are health education, maintaining a healthy environment and services to school children. At present health education in schools is far from ideal. It should be planned according to the specific needs of chidren in each age group and for this purpose a specific health education curriculum is necessary. Health education should be an integrated part of school health services and in this regard the school nurse should serve as a role model and resource person — the expert on health matters.
