have completed his master's if everything goes well,

| ss. «XE peldeve we are in a very fair way
to make progress toward the giving of master’s degrees in
physical education. zis

nba Had we such an arrangement previously _
we would have had no difficulty in obtaining very competent
women as student assistants in physical education. A ycar
ago Miss Lillian Peterson was engaged by our department at
$450 for the year, She stayed to get her master's “< -.
Edueation, but she really desired her master’

s in cornteay
Education. We endeavored to engage Miss Virginia Walker

and Miss Ruth Yorley as our student assistants at $400 per
ear this year, but they would not stay for it because we
id not offer a master's in physical education, Miss

Walker is now at, the Y.W.C.A. in Cineinnati at a salary of

$1800, and Mies Ruth Worley is working in Kansas City at a
very fair salary, ~~ , ee

'

Neither one of these girls sould afford
to return to the University for $400, but had we offered a
master's in physical education we would have had two very.
exceptional individuals, Under the conditions th were

forced to take ira, Alice Sherbon Bauman and pay her $400

a semester, Mrs, Bauman is doing wonderfuh work, but had
we been able to secure these two girls we would have had

the benefit of the experience of these girls who had. worked

right up through the Terk and our benefit would have
un

been much greater than it is er the present situation,

If we had graduate work in physical
education it would be an easy matter to employ others out-
side desiring to come in and do their master's work in
physical edueation, You perhaps will remeber Vie Trusler,
ef the Teachers College at iimporia, He came here to take
his master's in Education, but what he really desired was
his master's in physical education, Rather than to leave
the state he did it against his own desires, because he
really wanted his master's in physical education,

Se I am sure that you ean see that man

of these boys and girls who are forced to take a master's .
in Education are inconvenienced when they go to the Teachers
College at Columbia, or N.Y.U,, desiring to take their .
Ph.D, in Physical Eéueation, Should they take their master's
in Hducation here they are required to take extra hours for
their doctorate in sieal education, So the scheme doesn't
work out conveniently for t hem, 7
