10. To motivate higher standards of professional growth
and behavior on the part of the students planning

-o sc teventer the field of health, physical education,
and recreation.

I am writing to Dr. Neilson for a list ofall institu-
tions which have a major or minor department in Health, Phy-
sical Education and Recreation,with the view to sending them
a questionnaire concerning their method of interesting students
in becoming members and in attending conventions. I have in
mind tabulating these ideas and sending the summary in mimeo-
graphed form back to the institutions with the hope that it
will stimulate them to greater efforts along these lines.
There is no doubt that many of the major and minor departments
are doing a great deal to interest their students in the
national association, yet I feel that new ideas are always
welcome, Will you give me your reaction to this plan, please?

Through the Southern District student chairman, Miss
Mary Hess, I am planning to also contact the students of each
institutions having a major or minor department in our field,
for their suggestions for social and profesaional meetings
at New Orleans. |

Please feel free to write to me all your ideas no matter
how minute and at any length. This is a large problem and
needs the suggestion and best thinking of every section of
our association in order to make it a worthwhile project with
concrete results.

Until the theme and set-up of the National Convention is
decided upon it will be difficult to plan for item 2 of the
functions of this committee. However, may I suggest that you
consult the programs of former conventions that have been
published in the Journals.to see if we might increase, lessen,
or change in any way the student meetings for New Orleans.

I shall await the replies of the committee to this letter
before proceeding further.

Very truly yours,

ees ets,

Virginia Bourqua
Chairman, Committee on Student
section.
