We desire very much to secure four copies of the progrem for college women. Since I do not mow the cost, I will be happy to send the same on receipt of your state~ . nent. - Sincerely yours, Direator of Physical Education, PCAs Varsity Basketball Ceache FEDERAL SECURITY AGENCY U. S. OFRICE OF EDUCATION WASHINGTON April 20, 1943 Tos; Chairmen of College Departments of Health and Physical Education: The widespread interest and rapid expansion in programs of physical fitness have caused many requests to be sent to the Office of Education for suggestions concerning the ways in which college and wniversity summer sessions might con~ tribute to the professional education of leaders for the physical fitness progran. There are, in general, two problems that must be solved in training leaders for the physical fitness program. These are: (1) To introduce and interpret the program to teachers who have adequate professional preparation in health and physical educations and (2) to give untrained teachers intensive preparation for undertaking a relatively new job with which they are wifamiliar. The methods that are being used by colleges end universities to help meet these problems include, for both men and women: (1) Credit courses covering a period of six weeks or more on Physical Fitness Through Physical Education end Physical Fitness Through Health Education; end (2) short-term institutes covering a period of approximately two weeks to meet the needs of teachers who cannot attend a full term of six weeks or more. The progrem for a short-term institute might include instruction for several hours each day. The courses might be organized into four groups including: (1) Courses for men on the boys! program; (2) courses for women on the boys! program; (3) courses for women on the girls! program; and (4) courses for men and women which everyone in attendance should take. The units of instruction under each of these headings might be as follows: I. Courses for men on the boys! program Sports and games Gymnastics and combatives Aquatics Tests and evaluation II. Courses for women on the boys! program Sports and games Gymnastics and combatives Aquatics Tests and evaluation PV ICTORY ADDRESS REPLY: CARE OF U. S. OFFICE OF EDUCATION -2- TIT. Courses for women on the girls' program Sports and games Gymnastics and tests Dance Aquatics TV. Courses for all men and women Problems related to physical fitness Health instruction It is probable that colleges and universities can secure the services of Army and Navy officers for short periods of time to serve as members of the fecul- ties for short-term institutes. If institutions wish to request the services of Army and Navy officers, the requests should be addressed to the persons indicated in the following paragraphs. 1. To secure the services of Army Ground Force Officers, write to General Frederick Osborne, Special Services Division, War Department, Pentagon Building, Washington, D. C. 2. To secure the services of Army Air Corps Officers, write to General Robert W. Harper, Assistant Chief of Air Staff, Training, Headquarters Army Air Forces, Pentagon Building, Washington, 0D. C. 3. To secure the services of officers from the regular Navy, write to Admiral Randall Jacobs, Chief of Bureau of Naval Personnel, Washington, D. ©. 4. To secure the services of Naval Aviation Officers, write to Commander Thomas J. Hamilton, Bureau of Aeronautics, Navy Department, 610 H Street NE., Washington, D. C. 5. To secure the services of medical officers from Selective Service, write to Colonel Leonard G. Rowntree, Chief, Medical Division, Selective Service System, Washington, D. C.

Under separate cover we are sending you with our compliments an 8 ounce bottle, and you will find the product completely described on the enclosed leaflet.

At last! A satisfactory Epsom Salts rub MAG. SULF. RUB (Upsher Smith) (Glycerite Mag. Sulf.) For Sprains, Bruises, Sore Tendons and other external injuries. A concentrated solution of Epsom salts, sus- pended in a lubricating base, penetrating, drawing, soothing, cooling, but will not blister. Ready for immediate use. Trainers have long valued the healing prop- erties of Epsom salts in the treatment of local injuries, using wet packs of the solution. Only a small portion of the salts at best comes into action when applied in this way. In order to improve on this method a series of experiments was undertaken with the object of combining the Epsom salts with a lubricant, in order to secure thorough penetration of the remedy into the injured tissues. After scores of trials, in collaboration with an ex- pert trainer, this improved product, Mag. Sulf. Rub (Upsher Smith) was pronounced perfect. Always ready for instant use TE SEIDEL Ye rn BI EE Tj eee Soothes, cools, draws, heals Mag. Sulf. Rub (Upsher Smith) enables the trainer to rub the Epsom salts — in smooth, lubricating solution — right into the tissues. The absorption and penetration of the remedy is helped by hot towels and, when available, a lamp. It is not necessary to use coconut or other oil. One gallon of the Rub goes further than a gallon of trainers’ lubricant. Its use _ eliminates waste, saves a lot of time in moist- ening dressings and brings the Epsom salts into action in a few minutes. DIRECTIONS FOR USE (The Rub may be warmed if desired) Unbroken Skin . Two hot towels. . Rub in a palmful of the Rub (more or less as needed), extending well beyond the injured area. . Two hot towels. . Apply the Rub again. . Lamp treatment or hot towels, with massage. . Bandage or not, as case requires. No = Ou W Broken Skin—Abrasions . Cover wound with the Rub, without friction. . One layer of gauze. . Apply the Rub thickly over gauze. . Coverdressing with waterproof layer and band- age. 5. Redress as needed. hWwOND In cases too tender for rubbing, as in Charleyhorse, saturate gauze freely with the Rub, apply it to front of leg, wrap in loose flannel bandage and leave the dress- ing in place for twelve hours, and follow with light rub- bing. Will not blister or irritate Rapidly absorbed Rdvantayes of Mac Salt Bik (Upsher Smith) 1. Easy to apply, clean, inexpensive, non- toxic. Nb . Ready for instant application. Stays moist. io) . Can be rubbed into the tissues. 4. Gives prompt relief from distressing local symptoms, pain is relieved and inflamma- tion and swelling are abated. 5. Cools and soothes the tissues, draws, but does not irritate or blister. Trainers in every branch of athletics will find that Mag. Sulf. Rub (Upsher Smith), is in- valuable in sprains, bruises and torn tendons. Use it in cases of Charleyhorse, sprained ankle, wrist sprain, and all injuries showing pain, swelling, heat, inflammation or abrasion. In cases of severe bone bruise it acts well, in fact, wherever hot compresses are indicated. Larry Armstrong of Saint Paul, member of three Olympic teams, well known in track and hockey circles, writes us: “In all my experience, during thirty years of ath- letics, as competitor, trainer and coach, I find nothing to equal Mag. Sulf. Rub (Upsher Smith), in the satisfactory treating of sprains, bruises and torn tendons and Charley-horse. I believe this product will be a big boon to trainers in bringing their athletes back to competition after injuries.’ Laurence S. Armstrong Economical, no oil or lubricant needed Helps to bring back injured players into competition Athletic trainers find in Mag. Sulf. Rub (Upsher Smith) what they long have needed — an easy, quick and effective treatment for local injuries. It provides, ready for use, the most effective way in which to apply Epsom salts. Try it on the next case of sprained ankle or wrist, or torn tendon. Supplied in two sizes: $2.00 per quart bottle $6.50 per gallon bottle delivered prepaid.
