High School Victory Corps Program

 

The High School Victory Corps Program set forth by the U. S. Office of
Education is being adopted rapidly by the high schools. Physical education has an
important part in the working of this program. Colleges and universities who are
training teachers of physical education will be interested in preparing their
students to rendor the best service in this Victory Corps program. Since under-~
eraduate men are unlikely to enter the teaching field now it is probable that train-
ed women will be used to do a great deal of the needed physical education work for
boys, as well as for girls, in the public schools.

It will be interesting to observe whether or not, with this emphasis placed
on physical fitness, some of the time previously allotted to physical education will
be taken for the doing of other activities in this Victory Corps. Members of the
Association may be of service to state departments of education as well as to local
school officials in evaluating the sort of activities urged for the physical educa-
tion period in the public school.

Reports to Wartime Commission

nn ~~

 

A committee of the Association has made reports to the Wartime Commission
of the U. S. Office of Education on the subject of Physical Education and Health
Instruction in Colloges During the War Period. These reports will appear in
materials sent from the U. S. Office of Education to college administrative
officers.

Win tho War

During the times when so many unusual problems face the various professional
areas of the colleges and universities it is necessary that sound judgment be
available and be given freely. It is hoped that the members of the Association as
well as all other professional personnel in the college and university physical and
health education programs will lend thomselves to making physical and health educa-
tion serve the purposes of both military and civilian groups striving to win the
war and to maintain national integrity.
