You Can Sweat and Catch a Cold - Memo to a Schoolboy and Pioneer 1929

2024 Author: Seth Attwood | [email protected]. Last modified: 2023-12-16 15:55

A "memo" is issued to every schoolchild and pioneer who has been to a children's preventive outpatient clinic, a tuberculosis dispensary, or a member of one or another children's and youth organization for the improvement of work and life.

Children keep the “memo” and bring it when they visit a dispensary or a meeting of their health care unit. What the children are already doing is deleted from the Memo: what they promise to do is marked with a cross.

Doctors of the dispensary, nurses of social assistance, school workers, counselors of pioneers, working with children, try to find out what in the life of a child and his family contributes to the development of hygiene skills, and what, on the contrary, prevents the implementation of the rules written in the "Memo".

In no case should children be forced to memorize the rules: but each hygienic rule of the "Memo" should be explained to the student and pioneer, in relation to the conditions of his life.

A hygienic rule is deleted from the "Memo" only when it is not fulfilled for a day, not two, but a month or more, that is, when a child or teenager has got used to and got used to the rule, and it has become a habit with him.

The day when a schoolchild or pioneer under the supervision of a doctor, teacher, counselor crosses out the last hygiene advice in the Memo, will be considered the day of sanitary maturity of the owner of the Memo.
