Dr. Allen also suggested the advisability of developing new items of gymasium
apparatus and possibly the formulating of competitive games or exercies in con—
nection with present items, in which all of the students would take part.

Mr, Winius explained his presence at the meeting and presented the plan he had
outlined to Mr, Medart and Mr, Weinzettel for promoting the demand for gyma-
sium apparatus. Copies were distributed for later consideration.

In response to inguiries regarding the probable cost of a program as suggested,
to be managed and directed by Mr. Winius, he stated this could be handled over
a six months' period for the appropriation of $7500.00 contemplated by the
three manufacturers, assuming that by the end of this period it should be ap-
parent whether the program in effect was productive of the desired results 9 and
arrangements for the future could then be determined on a basis of a reasonable
percentage of sales.

Organizations were discussed, whose support of a campaign of this kind might
be enlisted, such as the National Education Association, the National Recrea-
tion Association, and various publications including "Nation's Schools" and
"Physical Education Review", etc.

After the meeting had been adjourned for luncheon and Mr. Miller, Mr. Kolbert
and Mr. Medart had consulted privately, it was decided that it should be first
ascertained when Senator Walsh's bill, as written, was to be heard in the Com
mittee and how the desired changes to strengthen it might be incorporated,
This the several manufacturers will undertake to do, deferring any action in
the way of a campaign of their own until the availability of Federal help has
been determined,
