University of Kensas.

My dear Dr. Alien:

In thinking over practical courses fer these tonchers in
service who will be here and who will cane to the summer session
if they can get such omurses, will it be pessible to include the

following?

I. Playground Activities far the Elementary School.

This course should deal with the play program fran the
classroom teachers' stenipoint since she so often is the one
+o carry it on. Such points as the following shald be covered
in avrder to make the course vital:

1. Games suiteble for the different grades.
2, Self-testing activities beth with and without
ee ee ao

. Limes

etabie for the different grade levels,

4. Organization of groups on the playgr ound.

5. Use and care of equipment

6. Development and use of avadent leader ship. ‘5

It. Theory ani Preetice of Individual and Dual Sports. 3

Since many teachers in the field have neither played nor hed
an oppertunity to see played some of the mare recent small group
ectivities ani since such an increased emphasis is being placed on
this long neglected field in Physical Hiveation, such activities
as the following should be presented to the group:

i. Arohery

2. Desk tennis and games of the same type
3. Badminton
4. Horseshoes
5. Handball
6. Shuffleboard

If courses such as these can be offered, it seems to me an
existing need can be met.

Very sincerely yours,
