Excerpt from The Land of Health, How Children May Become Citizens of the Land of Health We believe that the one best way to teach hygiene to boys and girls is by telling them stories. In a large measure the same thing is true for grown people too. Teaching by story-telling (or story-observing) is used in the case system in law and the clinical clerk system in medicine - two of the highest develop ments of modern education; and both owe much of their value to the dramatic element, as well as to the concreteness, which is involved.

Sun were the teachers of mankind in its golden youth and in these pages they will teach our young people of the present day.
