Q.. Good Health Play HEALTH PLAY Educators declare that some lessons may be taught more effectively through dramatics than through direct instruct- ion. In the above picture we see the little actors in a play in which the value of sunshine, fresh air, pure water, etc is stressed as necessary to good health. In the center of the picture is the child whom the characters on her right have rendered ill. On her left are the characters who triumphed over the evil influences and restored the invalid to health and happiness. This was one of the plays given during Good Health Week. 46
