Artenrkel_ ee Kansas Fealth and Physical Education Association VOle Vit October, 1957 Bulletin Ne. l THE PROGRAM OF THE KANSAS HEALTH AND PHYSICAL EDUCATION ASSOCIATION 1957--58 by Earl Kauffman, Jr,, President In states not blessed with state directors of physical education much responsi- bility for the promotion of our prcfession falls to the organization representing the teachers and administrators. Since Kasas has not yet added a state director it behooves the Kansas Health and Physical Education Association to take an active part in promoting and developing physical education in every conceivable way. We are not only charged with the responsibility of furthering the best interests of physical id- ucation, but we are also face to face with many opportunities for assuming active leadership in developing and extending our field. Since its conception eight years ago this organization has enjoyed the pleasure of seeing many of the measures it inaugerated come into reality. Every one who con- pares the status of physical education today with what it was when our association was organized is amazed with the many fine things that have been accomplished. The membership has grown from a mere handful to approximately three hundred; annual meetings, once held in connection with other connections; our state teachers assoc- jation now recognizes us as an important force in education; the office of the State Superintendent of Public Instruction, acting with the help of members of our own association, has adopted rulings governing the minimum requirements for teaching physical education; and the national office of the American Physical Education Assoc-~ jation recognizes us as being one of the most active state groups, Vith the beginning of another school year the officers and members of the Kansas Health and Physical Education Association are anxious to take up again the crusade for an ever better program in schools, for 100 percent membership, for close coopera~ tion with allied agencies interested in the welfare of children, and for many other accomplishments which will result in our ultimate goal---happy, healthy children. Last spring, at the moeting of the council in Emporia, a program for the year was drafted. The planks in this program call for; 1. Increasing our membership to include 500 teachers and students; 2. Raising funds to extend the work of the association; 3. @ ir, Jimmy Kitts, Football Coach, Rice Institute, Houston, Tex.
