Dear Friends:

A summarization of the reports of the twenty-four Health and Physical
Fitness Institutes held in Kansas on December 5 and 12 shows a total
attendance of 1,021 with approximately three hundred different high schools
represented in this total attendances —

This department in particular and education in general owe each of
you who attended the Lincoln Institute and later assited in a local insti-
tute a deep debt of gratitutde and appreciation.

No doubt the attendance was curtailed very much due to the unusually
bad weather prevailing on the above named week ends,

Fifty copies of the course of study in Physical Fitness Through
Education for the Victory Corps “sre received by me and were distributed
among those who attended the Lincoln Institute. I am sorry we did not
receive more copies, Additional copies may be secured from the
Superintendent of Documents, Washington, De Ce, at «25 per copye

 

Again thanking you, I am
Yours truly,

Geode Le MeClenny
State Superintendent of Public Instruction
