Now look back to the items you checked in the first column and mark the one you
like best with a Figure 1, your second choice with a Figure 2, and your third
choice with a Figure 3."

After determining these individual likes and dislikes, tabulate them in
numbers and by individuals and take them into consideration in the building of the
program. It is difficult to give directions for doing this in such a general
paper, because of the fact that local equipment, teaching staff, course of study
requirements, and other factors render any generalized treatment ineffective.

One method of approach that is exceedingly effective with groups from the senior
high school ages and up will be given a little later in this paper.

DETERMINE THE TEACHERS OBJECTIVES:

The second thing to be taken into consideration is the objectives of the
teacher. The director of physical education should know what his character ob-
jectives are, what qualities he is seeking to develop, what habits of conduct he
wishes to build.

In the development of his list of objectives the practical physical edu-
cator as contrasted with the teacher interested in pure psychology is faced with a
dilemma. The psychologist of today will tell him that there is no such thing as
a generalized trait; that there is no such thing as honesty, as cooperation, or as
sportsmanship. He will say that there are hundreds of specific honesties; that
one may be scrupuously honest in rendering expense accounts and not be able to
count over seven in golf; or that a man may have perfect vision for seeing the
mote in his neighbour's eye and be utterly unable to see the beam in his own eye,

If we were to hold to this teaching of the psychologists we should have
to produce a list of many hundreds of specific objectives. The practical educator,
however, recognizes that this will not do. In the first place man thinks in terms
cr words and there are no specific words for most of these objectives. One who
does not have the word for a quality and can not express himself feels balked.
