Bulletin No. 3

SAFETY EDUCATION

By

F. 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,

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,

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,

The National Joint Rules Committee on
Softball has completed its revision of
the rules for the 1939 season. Only one
change was made. The new rules permit the
scoring of runs on a wild pitch, passed
ball, or on the throw-back to the pitcher,
This will most likely increase the scor-
ing and should also increase the quality
and accuracy of the pitching and catching,

MANHATTAN BICYCLE CLUB

Manhattan, as are many other citics,
is faced with safety problems due to the
large and rapidly increasing number of
bicycles being riddcn by the school pupils
of the city. 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.
To peddle my own cycle and not “hitch!
to any moving vehicles, |
To keep my bicycle in good condition
ali the time.

Always Ride Carefully!

Dr. F. C. 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.

It was good to see you Saturdays I looked over the

mene 3 3% t Seapine you maet tee eked Ges

Andy, I received a letter fron andy Kerr of Colgate
and elso one from George Ls Rider, of Miami, copies of which I -
am sending you, confidentially. You will recall that Rider was
Director of Athletics at-Washington University for a mmber of
yearss He is a grand man, as is Andy Kerr

You will notice that I have said a lot for Ray
Parlins, but have also put your name in the pote I am wondering
if you will sit dow and write me the information on your exper
-ieneces and qualifications since you left the University. I
would like to have this on file, because I know that I can do
you some good when the opportimity presents itself.

Please keep this entirely confidential, but I wanted
you to imow about these two letters because doubtless you will
have some inquiry concerning one or the other jobs Doubtless
these men have written to other coaches, as well as to me, so
they will perhaps get a large number of recommendations, but I

Dear Dr. Allen:

Just a word to let you know in response to your letter
of February 2nd that I have not been able to make very much pro~
gress on the curriculum project in the various state schools. I
did get copies of the catalogs from Hays, Emporia and Pittsburg,
but from the Registrar of your institution came word that the
catalog supply was exhausted and my name would be put on the list
for mailing as soon as the new ones were received from the printer.
In the meantime I am devoting considerable time to my swimming
coaching. I am planning on having something definite to submit to
you and the rest of the committee before our State Convention the
end of March. Until then there will not be much to report,

Appreciating your interest and with kind personal regards,
I am

A Physical Education Curriculum for Kansas

Prof. C. 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

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,

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;

Auto Driving Instruction

A course in the proper method of driv-
ing a motor car is being added to the
curriculum of the Topeka high school,

It is installed with the co-operation
and aid of the Kansas State Highway
Patrol. 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,

to each activity, )

 

Most of the comments at the bottom of
Table IV apply equally to this table, The
program is divided between core and elec-
tive divisions, each school to select
those from the two divisions for which it
has adequate facilities. 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
