ADMINISTRATION OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION. 9

 

The above tables show the number of men with their rank in each in-
stitution in the work in physical education and athletics. In above tables the
directors who had a definite faculty rank were listed in that column. In com-
puting the percentage of men who were faculty members, those in the
column under Directors were counted in the faculty group. These tables
show the total number of men in physical education and athletic work in
each institution. It might be of interest to compare the total number of
men ‘in above work in each institution to the total enrollment of studenis
in each respective institution. A comparison might be made of the number
of men having the higher faculty ranks in each institution. The tables
show the number of seasonal coaches employed in various institutions. A
comparison with the study of 1924 shows that there are more men in the
work today than then, especially is this true in the larger institutions.
There are more men in the work today with high faculty ranking than in
1924. 7

This study shows that 80% of the men listed under publicly controlled
institutions have faculty rank. That 52% of the men listed under privately
controlled institutions have faculty rank. That 86% of the men in the state
teachers colleges have faculty rank. The data show that there is an in-
crease in percentage of men with faculty ranking over the 1924 study.

In addition to the table personnel, three questions were asked. They
were:

1. Do you have seasonal coaches? How many?

2. Do your men with faculty rank have:—degrees, leave of absence,
etc., as other faculty members? _

3. Are their positions as secure as other faculty members?

With respect to seasonal coaches the results are shown in the tables
above.

The question with respect to degrees and leave of absence is of in-
terest to the men in the work and to administrators as well. In the siudy
made in 1928 through the presidents and deans the question as to whether
they preferred a man who could teach some academic subject in addition
to coaching, some of them raised grave doubts as to the prepara‘ion of
their coaches to teach academic subjects. The answer to this question by
the publicly controlled institutions shows, 52 answering yes, and 7 no. In
the privately controlled group 73 answered yes, and 29 no. In the state
teachers college group 33 yes, and 1 no. In the three groups a total of 158
yes, and 37 no. Whether or not the answers were based on having ihe nec-
cessary graduate degrees may be questioned by some. Many institutions
are requiring the graduates degrees for faculty ranking in the work of
physical education and athletics.
