Reorganizing the teaching of general science and biology to meet health needs of pupils in Walton County

The importance of the contribution of science to modern civilization is an accepted concept. Science has had an increasingly profound influence upon the society and upon the individuals who compose it. This paper attempts to point out significant objectives and procedures in science teaching for the purpose of improving the health of boys and girls in a rural area in West Florida. It is the purpose of this paper to point out that the science instruction which is concerned with improving the health of young people can also improve home, school, and community living in Walton County. It is the earnest desire of this student that the youth of Walton County will not have dwarfed or distorted personalities because of an impoverished environment at home, at school, or in the community.
