(4) Diet- Every trainer should have a good working
knowledge of the principles of diet.

(5) Exercises- Many that are now used should be cut
and, since the athlete is hardened by systematic cx-
ercise or work-outs, this is rather an cxact science
and varies with the sport.

(6) The science of training the athlete to peak form»
Earlier we said that the money cost of this program
would be small; this cost, of course, will depend on
your athletic budget and on your student trainers
ingenuity and willingness to work. A great deal of
money can be invested in modern up-to-the-minute
equipment and training room fixtures but satisfactory
results can be obtained by building protective and
preventative equipment out of the odds and ends found
around the average locker room, To this end the
Trainers! Journal will endeavour to contribute in a
very real way by describing and picturing home made
devices now in usée

In the September issue of the Trainers Journal, three
suggested medical supply lists will be published in order to
coincide with all budgets, nothing will be left to chance.
Every step in setting up this new program will be described.

Recently the Iowa High School Athletic Association
accepted this plan and we quote Mr. Lyle T. Quinn, manager
of the I.H.S.A.A. “In order to help meet the problem of re-
ducing high school athlotic injuries, we are undertaking to
establish a program of student trainers for our high schools
with the firm conviction that if this program can be put
into operation, as we aro convinced that it can, the number
and the severity of injuries can be greatly reduccd."

We, The National Athletic Trainers! Association, feel
that we are doing our part to decrease the injuries not only
in the colleges but in the high schools by sponsoring this
program. We are doing the job with the sole object of im-
parting the information we have within our organization to
the young American athlete so that he may play the game with
all he has in him, knowing that if some misfortune overcomes

him he will be served with and treated by the best known methods.

Our mombership list includes a number of men of the
medical profession and we arc always ready anc anxious tO.
have them.a part of us. They will find the student trainers
a very eager.and intcresting group to instruct.
