OMAHA CONVENTION

The Central District Physical Educa-
tion Association will hold its convention at
Omaha on March 20 to 23, with all indi-
cations pointing to one of the most impor-
tant gatherings of physical educators that
has been held in this section. Nearly 1,000
health, recreation and physical education
enthusiasts will meet for a three-day ses-
sion to consider the present day problems
in these fields. Nationally known speakers,
practical demonstrations and displays, as
well as round table discussions will mak

this a worth while meeting. Alfred
Anderson is secretary and treasurer of t

association.

SCHOOLMEN ARE BOWLING

A Schoolmen’s Bowling League has bee
organized which will take in any bowler
in the school system, who desires to play.
At present, five teams have entered, in-
cluding teams from the following depart-
ments: Physical Education, Principals, a
Headquarters team, and two teams from
the School Board shops. Play wiil be held
at the Cocked Hat Alleys each Wednesday
evening, 6:30 to 8:00 p. m. Any men em-
ployed by the Board of Education inter-
ested in this sport may call the Recreation
Department.

SPEECH CHORUS PLEASE

The speech choruses presented at o
of the section meetings at the Missouri
State Teachers Association and at the
Teachers’ Institute in December were
highly pleasing. In England and other
European countries this instruction has

been carried on for sometime. A combina-
tion of speaking chorus and motion chorus
work is gaining favorable recognition in
Germany. This development is being spon-
scred by physical education departments.
teachers should be
alert to possibilities along this line.
