FOREWORD BY GEORGE F. BUCHAN, ESQ., M.D., F.R.C.P., D.P.H., PRESIDENT, HEALTH AND CLEANLINESS COUNCIL CLEANLINESS is a habit which everyone may acquire. Like all other habits, it is most easily acquired when young. Cleanliness may be considered the basis of all hygienic measures and sanitary reforms. The importance of Hygiene as a school subject cannot be exaggerated, and this little book has been written as an outline for teachers who desire to impress the importance of cleanliness on their scholars and to inculcate in them cleanly habits. The book deals with personal cleanliness, cleanliness of the school, cleanliness of the home, cleanliness of food, and cleanliness in camp, and it is important that the school and all the premises and appliances within its curtilage should serve at all times as an object-lesson in cleanliness to the scholars. If lessons on cleanliness are given regularly in the schools as a part of the general subject of Hygiene, a considerable step forward will have been taken for the improvement of the national health. This book has been written at the instigation and with the unqualified approval of the Health and Cleanliness Council. It will be found to be sound, helpful, and instructive, and can be heartily commended to teachers, for its joint authors — G.H. Green, Ph.D., B.Litt., B.Sc., M.A., M.R.S.T., University College of Wales, in collaboration with W.A. Muir, M.D., D.P.H., Medical Officer of Health for Gillingham — are thoroughly competent authorities. March, 1928.
