Description
Don’t let your young sons and daughters head off to college without this 1930’s classic in tow…
This serial text on Informational Hygiene has been prepared in the hope that it will give the college student a basis for the formulation of rational, discriminating health judgments which will help exceptional youth condition itself for vigorous, enduring maturity; prepare him adequately for life-giving, health-producing, personality-building parenthood; equip him to meet successfully the logical life-saving and health conserving obligations that helpless infancy, dependent childhood, co-operating maturity, and weakening age must place upon adult competency ; train him constructively to be, for the far-reaching health betterment of society, the influential teacher that every college-trained person should be; and get him ready to satisfy the greater opportunities and the heavier consequent responsibilities for sane community health leadership that are imposed upon the few selected for the precious opportunity of a college training for citizenship.
This is a reproduction edition from a scan of the 1930 edition:
