Section 7—Health and Efficiency
[232]
Since the mind and the soul find expression through the body, both
mental and spiritual vigor are in great degree dependent upon
physical strength and activity; whatever promotes physical health
promotes the development of a strong mind and a well-balanced
character. Without health, no one can as distinctly understand or as
completely fulfill his obligations to himself, to his fellow-beings, or to
his Creator. Therefore the health should be as faithfully guarded as
the character. A knowledge of physiology and hygiene should be the
basis of all educational effort.—
