Dear Dr. Allen:

I am writing to thank you for the call from your
office today. I know now that I should have written to
you personally when I accepted a position and I apologize
for not doing so. I did let Mr. Chandler know and sur-
mised that he would tell you.

I am teaching physical education in the Ellis, Kansas
school system. I spend the first two hours of the day in
the grade sthool and junior high. I have the third grade
one period, the fourth grade one period, the fifth and
sixth grades together four periods, the seventh srade two
periods, and the eighth grade two periods, weekly.

The rest of the day I spend at the high school. I
have one physical education class for freshmen. The
physical education program to this level is all compulsory.
The school has a fairly good set-up and has an adequate
amount of equipment. Besides physical education in the
high school, I teach one class in physiology, have one
study hail, and am assistant coach of all sports.

I turned down a contract at Lansing as head coach and
so forth. I think I was to do everything but be janitor.
The position there paid a little better but the work that
I do here at Ellis is what I really want.

Thank you again for your interest.
