page, up-to-date textbooks for $2.50, we would think
it-a real bargain.

THE JOURNALS present a varied menu. In 1939,
among other things, there were articles on the follow-
ing topics: intramurals, athletics, point systems, swim-
ming programs, safety education, and_ recreational
programs—both theoretical and practical. There were
articles on co-recreation, motivating the program, cur-
riculum planning, interscholastic athletics, the prob-
lem of scholarships for athletes, and teacher training.
Experts in health education discussed many phases
of their field, such as the organization of health edu-
cation, criteria of a good program of health educa-
tion, medical services, posture education, policies of
health service, and the contribution of the health
sciences. There were papers on supervision, on mental
hygiene, on physical therapy, and on sports for the
handicapped; a philosophy of physical education and
an athletic philosophy. There were papers on the me-
chanics of physical education and discussions of vari-
ous sports, such as archery, basketball, badminton, etc.
Educational administrators discussed physical educa-
tion from the administrative point of view. There were
articles on the current history of physical education,
such as physical education in Great Britain, Czecho-
slovakia, Poland, and Finland. There were articles on
exhibitions, water carnivals, and on practical programs
in other fields. One section which appears every month
on “How We Do It” gives much practical experience
on the programs of good teaching from all over the
country. There are many items of news of what is
going on in physical education in the United States.
Many of these items lead to ideas that we all can use
—and all for $2.50.

Selfishly, any teacher who each year gets and uses
a few new ideas that will make him a 10 per cent bét-
ter teacher will advance in his profession, with an
accompanying increase in salary. Anyone who does
not get such new ideas from the JOURNAL each year is
either very stupid, careless, or lazy. It would seem to
me that this $2.50 membership is a very small amount
of bait when we are fishing for a two hundred-dollar
raise in salary. I do not believe you can afford not to
be a member.

Nov for the Research Quarterly. This will cost
you $3.00 per year. In 1939, it published about
400,000 words and a total of 66 articles. In terms of
textbooks, it would amount to about four books which
would cost from twelve to fifteen dollars. Again, at
$3.00, this is a real bargain. The content of the Quar-
terly is composed of research materials, and there we
find most of what is published in research in our field
in the United States. Some of this material is very
good. Some is weak, but much of it you cannot afford
to miss if you want to keep up with the advancements
in your field.

One of the services is a rather extensive set of book
reviews which lets you know whether or not you wish

‘to invest your money in some of the newer books.

If you subscribe to the Quarterly, read it carefully and
then really think. A good deal of it will make you a
better teacher and worth more to your employer.

TS second thing to consider is that the A. A. H. P.
E. R. is our professional organization. It makes
possible the publication of these magazines; it works
for high standards; it promotes committee work that
improves the programs and the administration of
