Synopsis

Excerpt from Proceedings of the Conference of the Teaching of Hygiene and Temperance in the Universities and Schools of the British Empire Held at the Examination Hall, Victoria Embankment, London, 1907

Victor Horsley, Sir Lauder Brunton, and others of the most distinguished members of the medical profession. While I have put these few words before you, with the Object of introducing the deliberations, I think it will be better that I, who am in a sense an outsider, although delighted to be here, should call for explanations on the subject from those who can do it so very efficiently. We have, amongst others, a paper from a gentleman in Canada, who is the head of the Education Department in Ontario, and also from gentlemen representing Australia, New Zealand, the United States Of America - for we also claim to be Ameri cans in Canada, and while our friends of the United States, with whom we are on the most cordial and friendly terms possible, call themselves Americans, we are equally Americans with them; and Ameri cans, let me say, than whom none are more loyal to Crown and Empire. And I now propose to call upon Mr. Pearce Gould.

Product Description

Excerpt from Proceedings of the Conference of the Teaching of Hygiene and Temperance in the Universities and Schools of the British Empire Held at the Examination Hall, Victoria Embankment, London, 1907 In the early part of this year some of those interested in securing the Teaching of Hygiene and Temperance in the Elementary and Secondary Schools of the United Kingdom, determined to utilise the visit of many officials and others from the Colonies, in connection with the Colonial Conference, to obtain information as to the steps that had been already taken in the outlying parts of the Empire to introduce this teaching. A Committee was formed consisting of representatives of the Board of Hygiene and Temperance, of the Public Health Committee of the British Medical Association, and of the Committee of Medical Men, with the late Sir William Broadbent at its head, which had drawn up and presented to Mr. Birrell when he was Minister for Education, an important Memorandum on the Teaching of Hygiene and Temperance.
