ON MENSTRUATION "It's Natural-It's Normal" is a booklet designed especially for teachers to give young girls. In warm, reassuring language it explains to the student the biological phases of her menstrual cycle. Why menstruation is a part of this cycle. Why it's a sign of maturity... something to be proud ofby no means just a nuisance. Actually, this booklet is only one part of a complete teacher's manual entitled, "How Times Have Changed." Not only does this guide give an interesting history of earliest superstitions, anatomical charts on the menstrual cycle, but it also includes authoritative medical reports on internal sanitary protection. . . a subject of intense interest to young, modern girls. No course in personal hygiene can be considered complete without this type of data. Both pamphlet and teacher's guide are designed to make young girls happier, healthier women through knowledge and understanding of the purpose of menstruation.

DEAR EDITOR: In a past issue of the JOURNAL you had a very interesting and helpful page on "The Bulletin Board." I would like very much to see this as a permanent section of the JOURNAL. It is an excellent way for artistic and creative minded people to share their ideas with others. A picture and a short note on how to assemble such a display would be very helpful. Enclosed is a picture of the First Aid display assembled by a group of eighthgrade boys under the direction of Gus Langley, health instructor in our school. Various types of band aids, gauze, tape, dressings, tourniquets outline the triangular bandage. Across the center are small bottles of antiseptics and common medicines. If this could be of any help to other First Aid instructors we would be very glad to contribute this and hope that others might do the same. WILLA ROSEAN, Instructor, We have many requests for helpful bulletin board materials, but our readers do not often send in their good ideas or pictures of their bulletin board displays. We invite your contributions now, so that later in the year we can publish the best in a special article on bulletin boards. See our center spread in this issue for use on your bulletin board. ★ THE NATION'S SCHOOLS HAVE ADOPTED THIS BOOK! ✔ A complete book of physical eduIcation for high school boys and girls (8th-12th grades) ✔ A book written expressly for teenagers for their understanding and enjoyment A book based on sound educational principles written by wellknown people in the field ✔ A book profusely illustrated, showing skills, strategy, fields, and equipment |
