In view of the contemplated consolidation of health courses, the following sugges-

tions are

herewith presented:

1. That the courses 30, 40, and 63 should be rebeined in the curriculum

as at the present time for the following reasonst

a They were carefully designed for specific needs -- both course nmum-
ber 30 (Personal Health) for ell freshman physical education majors

and course 63 (Personal Hygiene) for women majors place an emphasis
upon hygiene of muscular activity.

b. Course #40 (Personal Hygiene and Community Health) was constructed
according to the suggestions of the "State Board” primarily for
students seeking the 60 hour certificate. This course was sent
through the proper channels, accepted and the description was
printed in the catalogue previous to the time the College course
#1. Personal. and Community Health was accepted. This letter course

G. These courses (30, 40, and 63) are designed for the training of
teachers and not merely for the presentation of certein aspects of
preventive medicine.

Regarding course 30, aside from the probable difference in content of the course,
whieh will perhaps be suggested, we are faced with two main problems:

1.

If the Student Health course is accepted as a requirement for freshmen,
we are faced with the task of offering at least five hours to our men
majors within the department during their first semester, You will
recall thet thie point wae emphasised in the formulation of the four
year curriculun.

If another course within the department is substituted for the health

course (#30) there is a problem of presenting sufficient hours in health
to meet the requirements of the "State Board,” 1. @., Physical Education
teachers in Clase A schools must present 15 hours of physical education,
— a ~ gam be in the field of physiclogy, health, school hygiene,

In view of the above facts it is further suggested that:

That the course #1 for Student Health Department or other courses be
accepted only as a last resort.

Regarding course 40 we feel thet the Student Health Department course
and this course have but little in common and #40 needs to be retained
in departmental offerings to meet ite specific needs.

Alternatives might be in:

il.

Attempting to retain course 40 -- move course 3% (History and Principles
of Physical Education) -- three hours -- to the freshman year -~ allowing
five hours in the department for firet semester freshmen men -- #40 as an
optional or required course in sophomore year.
