HEALTH HABIT SCORE SHEET 



Adapted, by permission, from An Analysis of Instruction for Habits 

 and Practices in Health and Accident Prevention prepared by E. 

 George Payne (Lyons & Carnahan, publishers). 



Directions. The teacher should go over the outline point by point 

 and explain any items upon which the students wish help. The habits 

 and practices may be checked at any time, near the beginning and 

 the end of each semester. The scoring should be recorded in the 

 biology note book. Each student should aim to make his report as 

 accurate as possible. 



Directions for Scoring. 



1 . Allow full value or nothing for each item. 



2. Practice in any item does not mean that there can never be an 

 exception. For instance, if a boy or girl is kept up one night a week 

 beyond his regular hour of retiring to attend a moving picture show, 

 nothing should be allowed for the first item under regularity. On 

 the other hand, should there be an imperative reason for keeping him 

 up later than the regular hour on an occasion of special nature, he 

 may receive full credit. But if such occasions occur often or regu- 

 larly, he should be given no credit. 



3. In scoring X and XI the boy or girl should be given full credit 

 for items with which he has had no experience. For instance, some 

 children would have no incentive to play on railroad tracks, because 

 there would be none in their vicinity. 



4. Add the scores and compare with the maximum of 500.
