explanatory. Any member of our profession interested in securing such a scholarship

Curriculum Director, State Department of Education, Topeka, It would be a fine thing
for Health and Physical Education to be represented in one of these scholarships:

Dear Mr. Kauffman:

The Committee for Peabody is chosen from people in general education fields. If
you have a person that you think would qualify to serve on this phase of the work we
would be very happy to have the application of that person, Many things govern the
choice of an applicant--geographical distribution, sections of the school system, and
the kind of work to be done=-but we would like to have applications from those
interested.

Sincerely yours,
