Object Lessons on the Human Body A Transcript of Lessons Given in the Primary Department of School No. 49, New York City

"Object Lessons on the Human Body" by Sarah F. Buckelew and Margaret W. Lewis is an early 20th-century educational book created to teach young students about their bodies and how they work. The book stresses that it's important to know about human anatomy and to develop healthy habits from the beginning, and it explains a lot of the basic science behind body structures, like the head, arms, and legs. It presents the human body as being made of bones, flesh, and other parts, and it uses questions to help students understand how everything connects, especially when it comes to making smart choices about things like alcohol and smoking. The book lays the groundwork for understanding how the circulatory, respiratory, and digestive systems work.
