4. Assuming that time spent and opinion as to impor-
tance of professional training in teaching activities is
a valid base, the following activities, in the order
listed, namely; basketball, football, track, softball,
hygiene, tumbling, modified games, baseball, gynmastics
and volleyball would appear to deserve a great amount of
the time given to preparing the teachers in the duties
they will perform when they get out into the field.

5. There is a need for rhythmic activities in the
training of teachers. Gymnastic and tap dancing received
a generous rating which means that if time spent in teach-
ing and opinion as to importance of professional training
in the activity are to be taken as criteria, the teacher
in training should be provided ample opportunity to gain
skill in this type of activity.

6. Although the present sromres of physical education
is bikin considered more and more as one of informal
activity, this study shows that there is still need for
cpenerine teachers to have training in the types of activity
which for years have been considered formal in nature;

nemely, calisthenics, gymnastics, apparatus and tumbling.
