Summer Schools in Health Education

Abstract

THE Central Council for Health Education will conduct two summer schools in England this year. One will be residential, during August 4–13, at Kings-moor School, Glossop, Derbyshire; the other will be non-residential, during August 15–29, at Chelsea Polytechnic, Manresa Road, Chelsea, London, S.W.3. The Glossop school will be directed by Mrs. F. A. Ogden, and the London school by Mr. L. J. F. Brimble. The schools are intended primarily for those who have to do with the training and care of children and young people—teachers, youth leaders, health visitors, school nurses, educational and medical administrators—but would also be of interest to general practitioners. The object of the schools is to review the principles of mental and physical health and development, to discuss the main health problems confronting the individual and the community, and to consider the methods of health education, including sex education. Those wishing to book accommodation or to be supplied with further details about the schools should write to the Medical Adviser and Secretary, Central Council for Health Education, Tavistock House, Tavistock Square, London, W.C.1. The Scottish Council for Health Education is holding a residential summer school at the University of St. Andrews during August 18–September 1. The directors of the school are Prof. Andrew F. Skinner, of the University of St. Andrews, and Prof. A. D. Peacock, of University College, Dundee. Courses and lectures will be given under the headings of physiology, psychology and social medicine. Further information concerning the Scottish school can be obtained from the Secretary and Treasurer, Scottish Council for Health Education, 3 Castle Street, Edinburgh, 2.
