Associations

Dear President;

The Committes on Student Section, appointed by the president of the
american association for Health, Physical Education, and Recreation, is
attempting to intscrest major students in the affairs of their state and national
associationse 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 conventions and by promoting state, district,
ond national student sections.

May we urge you to encourage the teacher-training institutions in your
state to send in their student state and national members. 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
gducation as you no doubt know. May we suggest that you consult the student
columns of this report for a check up on this section of your state momber-
ship.

In connection with student attendance at the coming national convention,
do you think it is possible to secure 2 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 attond
the convention.

Many states already have student sections in their state associationse
These sections function at the state conventions and sometimes throughout
the yeare 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 purposes Will you please give us
your suggestions for 2 state section when you answer the questions enclosed
with this lettcr.

We have inciuded a short list of questions. The suggestions and replies
of all state presidents will be tabulated and sent back to sach state so that
you may share in the ideas of all.

May I thank you in advance in behalf of my committee for your help in
furthering our work.

Very truly yours,

wna.
