pear Dr. Allen;

I have delayed writing to you in order to organize a pro-
gram for you.

Our state convention is divided into districts. The dis-
trict one convention, held in Omaha, is composed of the Omaha
teachers and teachers from nearby towns. The physical educa-
tion group will consist of grade teachers and high school
teachers of physical education as well as athletic coaches.
we would like to have you hold a basketball clinic from
to 12 o'clock on the morning of October 28, This clinic would
be open « You may conduct this clinic the way
you think is best. It would be held in the Central High School -
Gymnasium so that you would have a place for demonstration if
you so desired.

 

Then we'd like to have yo k sical
cation teachers from 1:15 to 2:15 p.m. that same day. I have
“listed this talk in the program as, "What Constitutes an Ade-
quate Physical fducation Program for Public Schools?" [I'm
sure you could give us some valuable information on what we
should have in our public school physical education program.

I have tried to make your topics elastic enough so that)
you could talk on phases you think most important.

If you will let me know when you expect to arrive and how
you are coming, I'll make arrangements to meet you. I'm glad
that you are going to be with us and I'm looking forward to
meeting you.

very sincerely yours,

Frank BE. Mielenz
