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.
