Gentlemen:

I am calling upon you for a little assistance in
aiding me to secure some information regarding what action |
your Universities take toward determining the physical status
of the student body and the remedial measures offered by your
Universities.

To explain a little further, our Chancellor has
asked me to serve on a committee to investigate the remedial
measures of other institutions, especially those covering
the following points:

1. The method of determining who needs remedial
instruction.

2. What special techniques of remedial instruction
or eorrection are given, if any.

5. The types of remedial instruction provided.

4, The method of administering this remedial pro-
gram, that is, is each department responsible
for its own students, or is there some central
agency responsible for diagnosing for treatment.

5. What is the cost of this program,

6. How effective has the program been.

If there is any information you men can give me
regarding the program in your Universities, covering the de-

partment of physical edtication, I will be most appreciative“or
your trouble.

   
  

ely yours,
