EDUCATION FOR HEALTH
“As only an educated people can be an cfleetivo people, so also only an enlightened and willing people can be a heathy people,” says Sir George Newman. “Health, for the nafion as for the individual, must be subjective before it can be objective. It must be apprehended and practised before it can be actual. National health itself cannot be obtained unless and until the people themselves assent, accept and ‘take the profits.’ It emerges from a partnership, as Edmund Burke said, in every district of the country, between those who govern and those who are governed. Unlike some other good things, it cannot be secured, still less imposed, by Parliament, or by the Ministry of Health, or even by local authority. They can only devise machinery, and ensure that it is sensible, and works well in practice. Health can only be achieved by the people themiselves.”
