P. Helm, M. Ds, Secretary, “Kansas State Board of Health Guest Editor The importance of safety education can- not be emphasized too strongly, since accidents have become one of the leading causes of death in Kansas and in the na- tion, Safety experts divide the means for accident prevention into the three B's -- Engineering, Enforcement and Education, Of these, in my opinion, Education is the most important, Engineering may be employed to eliminate all the physical hazards of the highway, and, although the removal of natural hazards will reduce accidents, there will always be injuries and deaths due to human carelessness, so long as motorists persist in dangerous speed, in passing cars on hills and curves, and other foolhardy driving practices. Enforcement of traffic laws, designed to protect us from our own folly, will tend to reduce accidents -= but, it is impos- sible to provide sufficient police offic- ers to watch us all, all the time, on the highways. As for passing and enforcing laws for home safety -=- that, obviously, is impossible; and it is in our homes’.... that the majority of fatal accidents oc- cure. It is apparent, then, that we must depend mainly upon education, as a means of accident prevention, The logical and most fertile field for safety education is in our schools. The ancient adage, "You can't teach an old dog new tricks", applies very well to the education of adults in accident preven- tion. We are creatures of habit -- good or bad. A few adults will be alert cnough to correct careless habits in diving, walking and other activities of everyday life. The majority of adults, however, will go on doing the same old careiess things which invite disaster, Then, when the tragedy occurs, many friends of the victim, instead of learning a lesson by his example may say, "Well, that is sad, but accidents will happen," and per~ haps sustain a similar injury from the same CAUSE, If we would obtain good results, we must concentrate our efforts in the teach-= ing of safety in our schools,: Children learn readily, they are amenable to dis- cipline, they are forming their habits, they are interested in knowing "why" certain things must be done in a certain way, and are convinced by a reasonable explanation, If children were taught automobile driving in schools, and restrained from driving cars until they had passed their school courses, regardless of age, we should have many less automobile deaths and injuries in this age group. Parents, unfortunately, are very negligent in giving their sons and daughters proper instruction in safe driving. Parents also fail to make the privilege of driv- ing the family car dependent upon safe driving at all times, Fathers and mo- thers, instead of upholding the law enforcement agencies, when they are try- ing to inflict penalties for reckless driving, will usually try to have driv- ing licenses restored to their children, or will try to block the enforcement of some other punishment for dangerously careless driving, It is evident that we must teach home safety in our schools, in order to re- duce this type of accidental injuries, Children can be taught the hazards ord- inarily found in homes, and they will search their own homes for these hazards, with the result that many of them will be removed. By such simple methods as this, many painful and fatal injuries will be prevented. The younger genera- tion, who form safe habits of living, will teach their children safety, not only by precept, but by example -= and it is at.such a future time only, that we may look forward to a drastic reduc- tion in accidental deaths, Industry has lighted the way in ac- cident prevention. Every large organiza- tion has its safety engineer, who is responsible, not only for the eliminas tion of physical hazards, but in seeing that enployes abide by certain safety rules. In farming, however, where no safoty supervision is possible, we have more accidental deaths than in any other form of occupation. Teaching safety in the rural schools would undoubtedly atm reduce these farm accident deaths, so many of which are due entireiy to care- lessness. It has been said that "A nation walks forward on the feet of its children" it is our obligation to teach our chil- dren to walk safely, er ee te ee — am We are very happy to present an art- icle by Dr. F. P, Helm, Guest Fditor for this issue of the Pulistin. Dr. Helm, as Executive Secretary of the Kansas State Board of Health has been very active in urging and promoting sarevy education in the Kansas public schoois, His articles on safety appear regularly in many of the newspapers throughout the state, 000 Safety Education in Dodge City High School Safety education is being stressed more and more in the Kansas schools as a result of the need shown by the large number of accidents constantly occurring. It has been definitely proven that inten- sive education in safety does greatiy decrease accidents among school children, St, Louis was one of the first cities to prove this fact more than 20 years ago, One of the first, if not the very first, safety courses to be used in this country, was developed and used in that city with exceedingly good results, An intensive and well thought out course in safety has been developed by Mr. Ralph Churchill, Director of Physical Education, at Dodge City, Kansas. This course is designed for high school stu- dents and is taught to all sophomores, He has developed a course which is having some very fine results. Mr. Churchill gives the following description of his work: All of the Sophomore boys and girls are enrolled in Safety Education for one semester. Safety Education alternates with Physical Education, The time al- loted for the course is 2,5 periods per week for one semester, each period being 55 minutes in length. The text books being used at present are: "Man and The Motor Car," by Albert Whitney. Hducational Series Vol. X National Bureau of Casuality and Surety Underwriters ~- New York. 1936 “Safety First and Last," by Charles E. Dull, Senior High School, Newark, New Jersey, Copyright, 1928 by Henry Holt and Company. These are secured by a 15 cen: rental foe per pupil, Twentv~seven periods are used in studying automobile safety. In ail casos we try to relate our study with actual happenings in and about lodge Citw. The students keep newsparcor articles vortaining to automobile, home, school and farm accidents, We correlate all of our academic work with these nowspaper articles, After teaching Safety Education three years, I am sincerely convinced that toaching driving in the school is very impractical, Driving is habit formation and takes considerable more timo than we have alloted for it. Teaching dfiving is similar to that of coaching football, It takes hours of consistence repetition to bocome effi-+ cicnt in the basic fundamentals, I do believe we have accomplished a great deal along the line of pedestrian travel, especially around the school and downtown, Maybe this is because we are always on the lookout for one of our students to break a pedestrian law and use him as an example, | The remaining twenty-five sessions we use for home, school and farm safety. covering such topics as; Safety at Home Fire and Fire Prevention Safety at School and At Play First Aid Safety in and About the Farm Use is made of several aids in mak~ ing the course practical, graphic, and interesting. These include talks by speakers such as the police and fire chiefs, motion pictures, and lantern slides. One of the most interesting and valuable methods used is for the students to visit the scene of serious accidents that occur, In cooperation with the police department they study the accident, learn its cause and then discuss ways in which it might have been avoided. Thus they learn cause and prevention in connection with real accidents, + A+ UGA os 000 Cathedral High School of Wichita will compete for the city basketball championship with Wichita East and North High Schools this year, 000 ae Sem NEWS NOTES Health & Physical Education at Chanute Health and Physical Education are a part of the school program in three of the school divisions of the Chanute Public Schools.

Realizing the menace to safety of the increased number of vehicles on the streets, the school authorivics have met the situation by the organization of the Manhattan Bicycle Club, ‘Whe Club is sponsored by Mr. J. ©. Gaeddert, Instruce tor in the junior high schocl, who has had a great deal of experience with youth organ- izations. The Club has a Constitution, Bicycle Code, Rules for Bicycle Riders, a board of directors, and official bicycle inspectors. The Manhattan Club is formed on the basis of the National Bicycle Club, using their Constitution and organization form with special adaptations to cover local condi- tions, The Club is governed by a board of directors, numbering 24 students, and the sponsor. This board mects every other week, There are 250 mombers at present and the number is increasing. Any school pupil may become a momber by having his bicycle pass official inspection and agreeing to abide by the Code and Rules of the Club, When this has been done he is given a tag to fasten to the rear wheol guard of his bicycle just the way Dad has one on his auto. This insigma is one designed by the National Bicycle Club. A drivers license is also issuod to members at the same time, and upon which is printed the rules and Code of the Club, : In addition to the president and scc= retary other important officors are the bicycle inspector and assistants, and the patrolmen. Bicycles are inspected care- fully to get a description of the bicycle, serial number, and make of bicycle an tires, Brakes are also tested. This ine formation is filed at the City hall and at the school. This aids in the recovery of stolen bicycles, The patrolmen have the important duty of secing that riders get safely across the streets bounding the school grounds. The Bicycle Club has given three assembly programs at the junior high school and one before one of tho business men's noon luncheon ciubs. Beg-= inning next semester tho club prinns to sponsor a group of bicycle hikes for smaller groups of riders. There is a great deal of enthusiasm over this safety project anons the pu- pils and due to wise supervision and carsful planning is proving a fine piece of sofety education. Learning to be a carcful “rider” should be a good founda- tion for becoming a careful "driver" as Johnny grows up. Following is the of- ficial sct-cof=-Rules for Bicycle Ridors;: 1. To obey all traffic regulations as; a. Ride with the lights. b, Stop at all stop signs. ec. Learn and use the official hand signals. Ride only on the streets or bi- cycle lances, e. Ride singly on the bicycle, To ride courteously at all times, To ride with hand on the handle bars. To ride in a straight line and in a single file, To give pedestrians the right of way. To ride close to the curb and on the right hand side of the road, To have my bicycle inspected at regular intervals by one in authority. To equip my bicycle with head lights and rear reflectors if I pian to use it for night riding.

Allen, Department of Physical Education, University of Kansas, Lawrence, Kansas Dear Dr. Allen; Resulting from discussions at the Council Meeting of the Kansas Health and Physical Education Association at McPherson last fall, it was suggested that there might be considerable value if the state colleges, which have a physical education curriculum for teachers, could exchange ideas around the conference table on various aspects of professional train- ing. With this in mind Miss Helen G. Saum, President, appointed the follow- ing committee to represent the men's departments: Dr. F. C. Allen, University of Kansas Dr. Garfield Weede, State Teachers College, Pittsburg Dr. Earl Morris, Fort Hays Kansas State College Mr. V. T. Trusler, State Teachers Colleze, Emporia Mr. C. S. Moll, Kansas State College, Chairman Will you accept this appointment for your institution? The women have a committee of their own for their curriculum, and at some la- ter time there will possibly be joint meetings of both groups. As I see the problem at present, the beginning calls for three steps: 1. An exchange of catalogs with each other in order that we might become acquainted with the curriculum at the institu- tions other than our own, 2. A digest report which would give a comparative picture of our curricula as they now exist, 5. A meeting of the group at the most convenient location which probably would be Emporia. I am taking the liberty of starting things off by sending cat- alogs of Kansas State College to each of you at once. Will you please reciprocate by sending catalogs of your institution to each member of the committee in the very near future? After receiving these catalogs I shall make an attempt to prepare a comparative report referred to in the second step above.

S. Moll, Kansas By State College, Manhattan, Guest Editor In the United States of America there is but one standard answer to the ques- tion "Who shall be taught in our school system?* and the reply is: Every child. On the opposite extreme is the question "Wheat shall be taught in th2 schcol syse tem!” and for this thero are thousands of answers. All shades of agrcement and disagreement are apparent. Professional opinion may be as divergent as expres= sions. of laymen, and it frequently is. To make homogeneity out of heterogeneity is one of the stupendous tasks facing every individual who considers himself a part of the school system, in whatever capacity that may be. One of the functions of the curricu=— lum is to provide some semblance of the homogeneity referred to atove, The word curriculum has had many connotations, and the term has been used indiscrimin- ately when other words would have served, such as programs, courses of study, sub- jects, units of instruction, etc, Former- ly it has been necessary to distinguish between curricular and so-called extra-= curricular activities. If we accept the idea that life experiences have supplant~ ed other factors as a basis of the currice ulum, then there is but one definition which will fill the requirement. Accord- ingly, the curriculum consists of all experiences under school control. The state of Kansas is engaged in the process of building a curriculum. Like the Virginia Study of several years ago, it is a eooperative venture. It is be- ing built from the inside out, not from the outside in. It is being made, not by curriculum specialists to be imposcd up-= on the teachers, but by both of these groups together with administrators and officials. The State Department of Pub- lic Instruction and the Kansas State Teachers Association are sponsoring this huge undertaking. Miss Dale Zellor of the Kansas State Teachers College,Emporia, is heading up the work, In practically every instance in the past, physical education has not been provided for when such a universal cur- riculum has been in preparation, It has been tacked on as an afterthought, with + x8 oe 405 ~ « . + 0a See ee ee ae ee a the usuel result that physical educators have been regarded as not being in sym- pathy with education generally, but interested only in their special field. of activities, Now there is an opportunity to do some constructive work in having physical education included in a state curriculum, Sensing this, Miss Helen Saum, President of our organization, ape pointed a committee to work with the people in charge. The necd for inclusion of physical ed- ucation is obvious to all of us. In caste ing about for materials to comprise a curriculum, it was found that the College Physical Education Association had com= pleted a nine-year study by a Committee on Curriculum Research. This report meets the needs of a graded curriculum; it is sufficiently flexiole and adaptable to any ordinary school situation regardless of climatic or geographic condition or equip- ment limitation. There is no intention of railroading this thing through, but if it is selected as a basis for the curric- ulum in our state of Kansas, it would be the first step, and incidentally the most difficult one, in bringing about progress which is sorely needed. Without progress we are sunk. If you have any pride in your profession, lend your support to this most vital project in whatever manner you are called upon, 000 REPORT OF CURRICULUM COMMITTEE Edna McCullough, Chairman The Curriculum Committce was appointed last fall by Helen Saum, President of the State Association to promote and improve the status of Physical Education in Kansas, We hope eventually to build up certain progressive guides for curricula content that can be used in the various school levels, which will tend to unify and standardize physical edueation in the state, without limiting or restricting any scnool or any teacher, With those objectives in view, the com- mittee met with State Superintendent Markham in December. He graciously gave us an hour of his time, encouraged us, and ote gave many valuable suggestions. He says there o2e about one hundred new schcol buildings in Kansas with good gymnasium facilities, mamy of which are not being useaG to their fullest extent, and to in- cluce a physical activity program for all pupils, Mr. Markham surgests that wo buiid our curriculum from a small begin- ning with the help of as uany people from different parts of the state and with as diversified interests as possible, We have had an interview with Miss Dale Zcllar who for several years has directed curriculum work in general in Kansas as set up in the State Superinten- dent's office. Her ideas follow those worked on at Peabody College. We hope and expect that Miss Zellar can be on the program at the annual meeting in McPher- son to give us all a view of the best ideas in curriculum building, Everyone on the comnittee is contribut- ing much time and thought. Miss Eva Lyman is working on publicity of the com- mittee with the Parent-Teachers Associa-= tion. Mr. C. S. Moll is turning his attention to a philosophy of curriculum, Mr. L. P, Dittemore makes our contacts and appointments and arranges for our meetings in Topeka. Merle Henre has had some conferences with the State Teacher's Association Chairman, Every one on the committee has studied the "Physical Edu- cation Curriculum" by Wm. R. LaPorte, se=. lected portions of which you will find in another article, Qur progress seems slow, but we hope to develop curriculum standards of reel value to all the schools in Kansas and a little later will call on many of you for help and suggestions, 000 Under the supervision of Merle Henre, Supervisor of Physical Education in Kansas City, group meetings of the men and women Physical Directors, are boing held. Ten meetings have veen plenned for the purpose of bringing the Course of Study up to Date, and for improvement of teaching. Each teacher will have charge: of a certain phase of the Course of Study while the rest of the croup act as the 'class' and carry out the instructions. Each teacher has 1s hours to present three activities as they would be pre- sented to Jr. or Sr. High School students, The men and women meet in scparate groups, Comment and Criticism will be given at the close of each period, McPherson Dedication The new-senior high school at MsPhér- son will be dedicated on February 10, There will be an all-day voregram pus on by the schocl and its different denart- ments. The physical education devartment has prepared the following for preserta- tion, under the direction of Miss Snyder, Miss Ballard and Helen Hirni; "A Day of Melodies and Rhythms" rologue;: Time - "You Old Gympsy Man" The Day Morning: 1.

Last year Newton high school inaugurated a similar course which was well received. Upon permission from their parents, qyhe students interested will be allowed to enter. The class will consist each each week of three periods of basic work in the class-:rc6oom and two of actual driving experience, Classroom instruction will include training in the essential mechanical parts, the prorer knowledge of traffic laws and regulations, and other necese sary points, On their lesson in actual eritins. the students will be accompanied by a unifermed member of the Highway Patrol, The pupils wii! drive over a set route each time anc will ba given practice in handiing the car in traffic and less busy thorofares, the observance of traf- fic lights, parking--parallel and diag- nal-~actions or hiiis and curves, and any other factors encountered, At the compietion of the course,which is expected to take between four and six weeks, the patroi instructor will issue certificates tc the pupils who have proved themselves to be capable drivers, 000 @ F4y THE PHYSICAL EDUCATION CURRICULUM We present herewith selected portions from the Physical Education Curriculum by W. Re. LaPorte of the University of South- ern California. This is a report of the work of the Committee on Curriculum Re- search of the College Physical Education Association assisted by hundreds of repre- sentative physical education supervisors throughout the United States. It is the result of nine years work and presents the outline for a program of physical ed- ucation which is flexible and can be adapted to varying situations. most thorough and wide spread study of the physical education program which has It is the is presented with the hope that it will arouse the interst of, and be studied by, a great many people. It is a step toward the formation of a set of stand- ards and activities for Kansas schools. The entire report, published ina pamphlet of 86 pages, contains a large amount of excellent material relative to physical education. It is published by the University of California and Press, Los Angeles. The Curriculum Committee or officers the Kansas Health and Education Associa- tion will be very happy for any comments or suggestions in regard to this much neaded development in Kansas. been made up to the present time.

It is recommend- ed that each activity be given for a least six weeks continuously, at this level. This would mean that the class instruction in a given activity such as basketball would appear in only one of the three years of the senior high. A student should have opportunity, however, for additional participation in the intramural program or the interschool team program. It is recommended that the elective pro- gram, consisting primarily of the jndivid- val carry-over type of activities, con- stitute at least a third of the total program for the three years. If desired, this aspect of the work might be made in the form of a varied offering of elec- tives in the twelfth grade, from which the student himself might select. If this were done the prorram for the tenth and eleventh grades should be composed of the items in the No. I or Core Pro- cram list. [If.this arrangonont.is not. acceptable or desirable, the activities in the elective program No. II, can be distributed in the schedule alternating with activities from No. I, devoting from 5 to 6 weeks for each one selected, SUMMARY eas ee elementary levels the student is given a broad exposure to a veriety of activities in a balanced program of rhythms, gymnastic and group games, stunts, and athletic games of low organization leading up to the more highly organized games, =~ soe ee ce nae emcee Sertntetebineret lindas tuned « «G0 In the junior and senior high school he is given a definite exposure to all the major team games in elementary and advanced form, including at least twelve weeks of specific class instruction in cach, In addition he is given elementary instruction in e@ wide variety of individual or dual games with particular value for carry-over purposes, STATE CONVENTION Plans for the 1959 State meoting of the Kansas Health and Physical Education Association are rapidly nearing comple- tion.
