Trieste Publishing has a massive catalogue of classic book titles. Our aim is to provide readers with the highest quality reproductions of fiction and non-fiction literature that has stood the test of time. The many thousands of books in our collection have been sourced from libraries and private collections around the world.The titles that Trieste Publishing has chosen to be part of the collection have been scanned to simulate the original. Our readers see the books the same way that their first readers did decades or a hundred or more years ago. Books from that period are often spoiled by imperfections that did not exist in the original. Imperfections could be in the form of blurred text, photographs, or missing pages. It is highly unlikely that this would occur with one of our books. Our extensive quality control ensures that the readers of Trieste Publishing's books will be delighted with their purchase. Our staff has thoroughly reviewed every page of all the books in the collection, repairing, or if necessary, rejecting titles that are not of the highest quality. This process ensures that the reader of one of Trieste Publishing's titles receives a volume that faithfully reproduces the original, and to the maximum degree possible, gives them the experience of owning the original work.We pride ourselves on not only creating a pathway to an extensive reservoir of books of the finest quality, but also providing value to every one of our readers. Generally, Trieste books are purchased singly - on demand, however they may also be purchased in bulk. Readers interested in bulk purchases are invited to contact us directly to enquire about our tailored bulk rates.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Excerpt from School History of Virginia
A very practical difficulty in the preparation of a text book on history exists in the fact that the length of the school session varies so widely in different locali ties. To meet, as far as it is possible to do, the demands of the school with a full nine months session, as well as the school with a six months session, with a single book, the School History has been so arranged that sections can be omitted without destroying the story as a whole. It is unnecessary to say that. Omissions should not be made unless necessary, but in view of actual difficulties, the text can be shortened to suit the individual school.

Edgar Sydenstricker was a pioneer public health statistician. He is remembered as an eloquent advocate of measures aimed at enhancing the health of the American people, and an inspiring teacher. He was a generation ahead of his time in recognizing the interrelation of population trends and problems in public health.
Background
Edgar Sydenstricker was born on July 15, 1881 in Shanghai, China, the oldest child and only son of the Rev. Absalom Sydenstricker, a Presbyterian missionary, and Caroline (Stulting) Sydenstricker, both of West Virginia. Sydenstricker read a great deal and had little companionship of children of his own age; he was eleven when the older of his two sisters was born.
His parents and their life in China were portrayed by his sister, the author Pearl S. Buck, in her books The Exile, Fighting Angel, and My Several Worlds.
Education
At the early age of his life Edgar was educated at home by his parents. Then in 1896, at the age of fifteen, Sydenstricker came to the United States and attended Fredericksburg College (Virginia), where he received an A. B. in 1900. Two years at Washington and Lee University (Lexington, Virginia) followed, and in 1902 he received an M. A. with honors in Latin, German, economics, and sociology.
Career
After three years as principal of the high school at Onancock, Virginia, and two years as editor of the Lynchburg Daily Advance, he spent the academic year 1907-08 as a postgraduate fellow in political economy at the University of Chicago.
For most of the period from 1908 to 1915 Sydenstricker was engaged in the study of labor conditions. As a special investigator for the United States Immigration Commission, 1907-11, he made extensive surveys of wages, working conditions, and standards of living of industrial workers, especially of the foreign-born workers who had been arriving in the United States in large numbers.
In 1914-15 he served on the staff of the United States Commission on Industrial Relations, headed by Frank P. Walsh, for which he wrote reports on health insurance and labor conditions, one of which was published under the title Collective Bargaining in the Anthracite Industry (1916).
Appointed a statistician in the United States Public Health Service in 1915, he became chief of the newly formed Office of Statistical Investigations in 1920 and continued in this office until 1928. Here he collaborated with medical officers of the Service on field investigations of specific diseases, developed a staff of assistants, and supervised or advised on many special studies.
In 1921 he began the first comprehensive survey of morbidity in a representative community, interviewing families at frequent intervals over a two-year period to assemble data on the amount and types of illness and on the medical care received.
In 1923, on leave of absence from the Public Health Service, he served as the first chief of the statistical and epidemiological service of the Health Section of the League of Nations.
In 1926 Sydenstricker became statistical consultant to the Milbank Memorial Fund, and in 1928 he joined its staff as director of research. He began a scientific evaluation of the effectiveness of public health procedures for the prevention and control of disease. In 1933, characteristically, he sought objective evidence to answer the much debated question of whether the health of industrial workers was being affected by the depression.
In April 1935 he was appointed administrative head of the Milbank Fund.
At the request of President Hoover's Research Committee on Social Trends, Sydenstricker prepared an important monograph, Health and Environment (1933), analyzing and evaluating the factual material then available on the relation of environment to health. Deeply concerned with the problem of increasing the availability of medical services, as a public health member of the Committee on the Costs of Medical Care (1927 - 32) he worked closely with its technical staff in collecting and analyzing material on which to base a program.
In 1934-35 he was associated with President Roosevelt's Committee on Economic Security and directed its studies on "Risks to Economic Security Arising Out of Ill-Health. "
Death from cerebral hemorrhage occurred suddenly in New York City. In accordance with his instructions his body was cremated.
Sydenstricker's missionary background and contact with poverty probably influenced his lifelong interest in finding practical ways to improve conditions for the underprivileged.
Personality
In appearance Sydenstricker was tall and well-built, but slightly stooped, with large facial features, blue eyes, and dark, wavy hair. Reserved, modest, and rather shy, he enjoyed the company of good friends but did not care for social life.
Connections
In 1908 Edgar Sydenstricker married Alice May Ringer of Lynchburg, Virginia, by whom he had two children, Rhoda Virginia and Charles Edgar. Divorced in 1932, he married Phyllis Perrott of Grand Forks, North Dakota, in October of that year.
