Abstract
THE importance of biological teaching in the schools as a basis for health education was stressed at a conference held in the City Museum, Leeds, on April 17. This, the first of a series being arranged throughout Great Britain by the Central Council for Health Education, was attended by some three hundred teachers, medical practitioners, youth leaders, social workers and educational and medical administrators. This fruitful co-operation between the two professions most concerned hi health education was signalized by Dr. J. Johnstone Jervis (medical officer of health for Leeds) taking the chair during the morning session and by Alderman W. M. Hyman (chairman, West Riding Education Committee) during the afternoon session.
