Excerpt from Spinal Curvature and Awkward Deportment: Their Causes and Prevention in Children

IN standing sponsor for the English edition Of this little book which issued from the Berlin Press in 1893, I would remind the reader that it was origin ally intended for the German public, and that in England considerable progress has been made in the better regulation Of our schools and in the more rational upbringing Of our children. School-house furniture has been much improved, and the cubic space allotted to each scholar has been increased; still much remains to be done. Not only is the ventilation Of many schoolrooms mo'st imperfect, but it is becoming common now-a-days to warm them by means Of various hot-air contrivances, and this unduly warmed air has a tendency to sap the life and energy Of our children. It is time that a stand was made against this system, which is alike nu scientific in theory and unwholesome in practice.
