The text-books used in giving such instruction shall have the joint approval of the State superintendent and the State board of health. (Pages 50-1.)

NOTE BY STATE SUPERINTENDENT.-This section contemplates instruction in physiology and hygiene for all pupils sufficiently advanced in age and scholarship with special reference to the effects of stimulants and narcotics upon the human system. Under the guidance of an approved book, oral instruction in this topic may be given to pupils that are too immature to be benefited by the use of a text-book.

The effectiveness of the work in this branch, so far as its oral presentation is concerned, will depend on the simplicity of the instruction and the good judgment of the teacher in avoiding abstruse and offensive statements. In all instruction given under this law the subject of anatomy should be considered as taking a secondary place. (Page 51.)
