The Nurses round table group meeting
at Wichita expressed a desire to join
with the Physical Education group for a
combined meeting next year, This would
be a fine thing and oa forward step as
the work of the two groups has many in-
terests in common, Health and Physical
Education should work in close coordina«
tion to effect the best results for the
pupils.

Prof. Frank Thompson of K.S.C.a, Man=
hattan, gave a very interesting talk on
the teaching of tumbling to the Topeka
round table meeting. This was demon=
strated by members of his tumbling team.
A similarly excellent demonstration lec-
ture was given by lr, Coulson of Newton,
at the Wichita meeting.

The Topeka Health and Physical Educa-
tion round table meeting was very well
organized and could well serve as a
model for other round tables. A general
meeting was held first for men and women
physical directors and health workers.
This was followed by three meetings, one
each for mens physical education, womens
physical education, and health,
