I oy ‘ % é é Ale > encabod. buy ae Se. wee A Btn ae. o 6 erste i ea It is interesting to note in connection with the oust Fevdval of popular interest in education that new —t is being placed upon physical excellence. ; In this matter we are but imitating many of the nations of the past, because keen interest in this matter can be traced back to remotest antiguity--the Persians insisted upon it, the Scythians planned for it, and the Greeks went even so far as to conceive of the human body built in the image of the gods. To them physical excellence involved something bordering upon worship and in consequence they built 4 system of education in which physical perfection was the rallying point around which the whole scheme of educational activity centered. Through all the intervening ages recurrent emphasis has been placed upon physical excellence in spite of the tidal waves of asceticism which from time to tim®;jthreatenjto engulf the concept. Within the past decadesunder a new wave of humanistic thinking, however, the conviction of need of health and physical perfection has once more emerged as a dominant interest in human affairs. The consequence is that at present no system of education is thought of as being adequate or modern which does not provide soundly scientific and efficient training in this field. A few basic ideas may perhaps be urged as forming necessary components of a forward-looking and efficient program of physical education. In the first place the sciences that contribute to form the modern science of dietetics have shown definitely the vital relationship existing between foot, both as to quantity and guality and normal growth and efficiency. We now know that we need not only proteiaS, carbohydrates, and minerals, but the modern lore of vitamins has amazingly expanded our insight into the fundsmental conditions underlying humen well-being and no program of physical education is complete which does not impart to the child right knowledges and reliable habits with reference to this mass of information. ULI dil tg alti cae ected Secondly, we have at our disposal at present an ever-increasing mass of in- formation in the field of physiology and bio-chemistry which beers directly upon effective functioning of the human body and which when practically applied in the form of principles of hygienic living will serve to enhance beyond all earlier concepts of possibility a state of physical and mental youth but all through maturity and on to an extended period of old-age. In the third place, we are beginning to appreciate increasingly the human contact-mekine results of bodily skills of the play variety, the bearing upon mental alertness, the relationship of health to moral and mental stability, the sanitary values of vigorous physical activity, and the economic and social implications of contacts made in connection with group play. The so-called minor sports--golf, swimming, tennis, handball, and other similar activities appropriate for early middle and later life--are gradually being recognized as desirable components of the total repertoire of one's life and are being thought of as necessary adjuncts of the life program of the modern man and woman. pes ‘ rena BANE ST IAG RTI SO: ine I have said nothing thus tar Goncossing ‘the place ‘oad function of public athletic spectacles. They form an important, defensible, and age-old component of our group life, but they are not what we have in mind when we speak of physical education. They constitute a problem of highly technical, guasi- professional character of their own, and it is not our purpose in this connection to discuss them. They may Very legitimetely be one of the end- products of physical education. As a matter of fact, only the individual who has been properly qualified by thorough mastery of the art of physical well-being may expect advantageously to participate in these intense and highly specialized activities. For the great rank and file of manhood and womanhood of our democracy sound, robust, radiant health and strength stabilized and maintained by a knowledge and practice of the rules and principles of health and physical excellence is the imperative minimum which the school owes the next generation.

Sincerely yours, “Tyla mond A. Schwegler / ean Dear Doc: _ The enclosed card came in this afternoon. I couldn't get Mr. Robertson on the phone immediately, so I went to the hospital and saw Monte. Later I talked to Mr. R. Now I haven't time to go up and see him again, sb I am leaving this note at the desk for him. I am sending you the carbon because we have discussed this situation before. Probably I should have sent the carbon to Ad, since he may be interested in the boy's eligibility for the M. U. game. I didn't want him to light into Monte in such a way, though, that he wouldn't care whether he took the exam. Accordingly, you get the carbon, and if you feel Ad should have notice before next Tuesday, use the enclosed envelope to send it on to him. M.

To determine the place and importance of health education as a requirement for prospective teachers as it is now recognized by schools of easceein. METHOD. The questionnaire method was used as a means of collecting the necessary data. Questionnaires were sent to deans of education in schools, other than normal, listed in Patterson's American Educational Directory as teacher training institutions in the United States. In addition questionnaires were sent to the normal schools in the Pacific Coast states. Total number of questionnaires 109, total returns 77 or 70.7 percent. Bw FINDINGS. A seventy percent return on the questionnaire together with a request from seventy-one percent asking for a summary indicates that this is a real problem in the professional field of teacher training. Findings show that over two-thirds of the schools that par- ticipated in this study do have a requirement in health education. More than half of the requirements have been initiated in the last ten years. 47.05 vercent that have the requirement list it as a requirement of all prospective teachers. Three schools have definite plans for a required course and all three together with one that was undecided on the issue in- dicated that it would be required of all teachers. All normal schools which participated in this study indicat- ed that health education was a definite part of teacher training. All have the requirement. Nearly half of the health instruction (49.1 percent) is being handled in the physical education departments of schools indicating a requirement. Schools of education and health edu- cation followed in that order of departments offering the course. Schools of education are leading in making health education a requirement. In 56.3 percent of the cases this is true. State departments of education is the next most important agency with 62.7 percent. Physical education departments are responsible in 3.6 percent of the cases. The curriculum committee initiated the course in one case. One of the college presidents was re- sponsible for the requirement in one school. The evaluation of objectives was the least satisfactory of the entire study. Two different people rated the objectives in one school. Strangely enough the dean of the school gave the objectives a higher rating than the other person who was direct- ly interested in teaching the subject. There seemed to be no relationship between the length of the course and the realization of objectives. There seemed to be no significant relationship between the length of time the course had been required and the realization of objectives. In a geographical comparison in the study it seems that the West is leading the East both in interest in the problem and in doing something about it.
