CARL L. SCHRADER

Normal School. He served as president
of the American Physical Education
Association for three years and for about
nine years has been the state director
of health and physical education for
Massachusetts. Mr. Schrader recog-
nizes that the directors and supervisors
of physical education must be the par-
ties finally responsible for plans of or-
ganization and administration and so
must be qualified in the matter of fun-
damental principles in connection with
the pedagogy of physical education, in
the ability to weigh the changing knowl-
edge and in the evaluation of specific
abilities and functions of staff members.
The course will include also a thorough
consideration of the relationship of the
supervisors with principals, superintend-
ents and school committees and will
work out through the demonstration
class the activities adapted to the vari-
ous grades in the public school system.
‘To know what to teach, how to teach
it and why it is taught, will be the pur-
pose of the course so far as physical ac-
tivities are concerned. “This course may
be taken for graduate credit.

Anatomy offered by Professor Eras-
tus W. Pennock for 1931 will be struc-
tural and consist of lectures and dem-
onstrations on joints, muscles, nerves,
circulatory, respiratory and digestive
systems. [his is used as a basis for
the functional anatomy which comes on
alternate years.

Mr. Pennock will also offer a course
in first aid beginning July 15, calculated
to qualify the students for efficient serv-
ice in connection with minor accidents.

Clinical practice and laboratory work
will be used throughout as well as dem-
onstration of the uses of whirl baths,
radiant heat, electric cabinets, showers
and douches, ultra-violet exposure and
manipulations of massage. This will
follow and supplement Dr. Forrest C.
Allen’s course on treatment of athletic
injuries.

Personal hygiene will be offered by
Professor Harry R. Clark who is the
regular instructor in this course and will
cover the essential details in connection
with the human body, together with the
proper care of the various bodily organs
and functions and right relation to the
environment. ‘This course will include
a wide range of collateral reading cal-
culated to give those enrolled a good
all-round idea of individual hygiene.

Under Professor Stacy B. Betzler the
course in corrective gymnastics will re-
late primarily to the fundamental me-
chanical and physiological errors in hu-
man makeup including posture and will
deal with the specific muscles related
to same. Consideration and demon-
stration will be offered relative to
methods in particular as applied to pub-
lic school and class groups.

The course in physiology offered by
Dr. Peter V. Karpovich during the
summer will cover the blood and circu-
lation, respiration, digestion, metabo-
lism, excretion, glands of internal secre-
tion and the physiology of reproduction.
A good deal of time will be spent in
the laboratory in experimentation and
demonstration in connection with these
various phases of the subject.

The problem of selecting, arranging
and presenting physical activities suit-
able to different situations and to pupils
of different ages or grades has been
thoroughly studied by Mr. Schrader.
The results of his work will be pre-
sented in the course known as Physical
Education Activities for Public Schools,
which will be offered for one hour per
day, June 30 to July 15.

Following the course by Mr.
Schrader offered the first half of the
summer session will be one by Mr.
Lawrence ‘T’. Ludwig of the University
of Virginia during the second half,
which will consider the fundamental
principles in the selection and arrange-
ment of exercises adapted to students
of the high school and college ages.
Those enrolled will be asked on the
basis of these principles to consider sets
of exercises and to demonstrate. Cer-
tain fundamental drills or series of
exercises will be practiced in order that

students may be equipped to actually
conduct same on the gymnasium floor.
‘This will include free-hand work, danc-
ing, Indian clubs, wands, dumb-bells,
Ele.

Mr. Ludwig will also offer a course
for men in heavy apparatus. This will
deal with methods of progression from
simple to more difficult exercises, will
demonstrate pedagogical methods and
give practice on such pieces as mats,
parallel bars, low and high horizontal
bars, side and long horse, rings, etc.
This will come for one hour per day
throughout the entire session.

THE GRADUATE SCHOOL IN
PHYSICAL EDUCATION

James H. McCurpy, M.D., Director

The summer enrollment in_ the
Graduate Courses has increased during
the last three years from thirty in 1928
and forty-four in 1929 to fifty-four
in 1930.

‘The purposes of the course are:

1. To furnish courses leading to the
Master of Education degree.

2. To give opportunity to qualified
men for advanced study on prob-
lems of special personal interest.

3. To stimulate study and growth dur-
ing the regular year through special
courses and suggested readings.

The faculty is made up of specialists
who have helped students get the larger
view of physical education.
