The State Department of Education in co-operation with the State Depart- ment of Health, sponsored a School and Community Health Education Project in Ohio. The purpose of this project was to develop a functional health course for twelfth grade students with the aid of co-operating health agencies in the com- munity. Since this was an experimental project, it was necessary to establish del finite criteria for the selection of schools. The criteria was as follows: flj The health course must be offered five times a week for a period of one semester or three times a week for a year, with one-half unit of credit in either ease. C22 A qualified instructor in health education to teach the course. C31 Attendance of teacher required at the Health Education Training Conference, held at Ohio State University, August 14-25, 1944. Q41 Schools would require the service of a nurse consultant. The Senior Class, in co-operation with the Civic club, sponsored the Fall Fes- tival. The Civic Club in turn, turned over their share of the profits to the Health Class. This money paid for our physical examinations. Our school felt very much honored to have been one of the twenty-seven high schools in the State chosen to experiment with this course. I After taking this course, we realize how beneficial it is to all students leaving high school. We understand better the meaning of School and Community health.
