Dear Dr. Allen;

Last summer, while visiting in Chicago, a graduate of our
Department asked me if there would be any courses leading
to a Master's degree, offered in the summer session this
year. She is going back into teaching and is interested

in having the newer trends in physical education activities,

While visiting in Kansas City last spring with the senior
majors, this same request was voiced by both elementary
classroom teachers and high school physical education
teachers. A number of teachers, now in service, did not
have an opportunity to play or learn how to teach certain
activities while they were students. They are now needing
and asking for help.

In talking with Miss Hoover the following three courses,
which at present do not offer graduate credit, are the ones
that we both feel would help meet the needs of those teachers,

Will it be possible to offer these courses in the summer
session to satisfy such a need?

1. Personal Hygiene - (Taking up the subject from both
the individual's approach, both to himself and as a
member of society). Possibly Personal Hygiene might
be included as a senior-graduate course, when the re-
vision of courses is made for those seeking a Master's
degree,

2. Theory and Practice of Individual and Dual Sports
(Covering such activities as archery, badminton,
shuffleboard, and darts. This is the material in-
eluded in 33W during the regular session.)

35 Elementary School Playground Activities

Very sincerely,

fo C. dept
