Abstract
IT will be a happy day when we have in Great Britain a booklet corresponding to “Opportunities for the Preparation of Teachers in Health Education”, issued by the U.S. Office of Education (Bulletin 1942, No. 1). Written in the form of a survey of twenty Teachers Colleges, ranging from Massachusetts to California, this work presents a bird's-eye view of the training of U.S. teachers in this vital subject. It is clear that “health education” is conceived by the U.S. Office of Education as something very different from the traditional 'hygiene', and it is to be hoped that as a result of the deliberations of the Board of Education's McNair Committee on the Training of Teachers, a similar breadth of vision will permeate the training colleges of Great Britain.
