To: The State Presidents of the Health, Physical Mducation, and Recreation Assooiations
Dear President: 7 !

The Committee on Student Section, appointed by the president of the American
Association for Health, Physioal Education, and Recreation, is attempting to interest
major students in the affairs of their state and national associations. Some of the
ways in which we hope to accomplish this aim is by promoting student membership in
the above organizations, by stimulating an increased attendance at association con-
ventions and by promoting state, triot, and national student seotions.

lay we urge you to OM....-a76 the teacher=training institution in your state to
sohd in their student state aud national mewbers., A list of these institutions is
enclosed in this letter. The report of offical membership in your state appeared
in the September 1941 Journal of Health and Physical Education as you no doubt
know, May we suggest that you consult the s 7 colums of this report fora
ehesk up on this section of your state membership. met? |

In connection with student attendance at the coming national convention, do
you think it is possible to secure a student or group student rate on bus and
train? Contact with the various transportation companies might result in reduced
fares for students and be a means of enabling more students to attend the con-
vention.

Many states already have student sections in their state associations.
These sections function at the state conventions and sometimes throughout
the year. It would be a big step forward if with the formation of a national
student section there were also similar district and state sections through which.
there might be a unity of work and purpose. Will you please give us your suggestions
for a state section when you answer the questions enclosed with this letter.

We have included a short list of questions. The suggestions and replies of
all state presidents will be tabulated and sent back to each state so that you may
shere in the ideas of all. or 4

May I thank you in advance in behalf of my conmittee for your help in furthere
ing our work. ?

Very truly yours,
