The importance of the subject to which the reader is introduced in this little volume is attested by the following bit of testimony from one of our most experienced school physicians: In my experience as Medical Director of Schools, the statement runs, I have time and again observed teachers afflicted with tuberculosis, asthma, deafness, defective vision, neurasthenia, malnutrition, anaemia, heart disease, or other disorders. 1S imilar warnings have been sounded in the last two decades from almost every part of the civilized world. Medical inspection of schools, which everywhere was instituted solely for the benefit of the pupil, is rapidly growing to include in its scope the medical examination and supervision of teachers as well. The latter was the inevitable corollary of the former, for the health of the school-child is intricately related to that of the teacher. 1E. B. Hoag: The Health Index of Children, 1910, p151.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book studies the health conditions of public-school teachers in the United States during the early 20th century. Drawing from medical inspections, the author shows that teachers suffered from disproportionately high rates of tuberculosis, nervous conditions, and physical ailments caused by poor working conditions such as insufficient ventilation and excessive hours of work. Drawing on data from other countries, such as Germany and Sweden, the author finds that the US teaching profession lagged behind these nations in overall health and welfare. Through these meticulously analyzed conditions, the author provides important insights into the issues facing educators and policymakers of the time which remain relevant today. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
