A minimm of 120 minutes per week, per child, is required in
all high schools.

One-fourth of the total time (or at least 30 minutes per week
per child) shail be devoted to definite health instruction
based upon a course of study approved by the State Department
of Education, The period devoted to health instruction is not
a physical activity period, but it should be a health instrct-
ion period, and as such is, or may be if so desired, a part

of the total time devoted to the physical and health education
program, In any case, it must be definitely fixed and follow-
ed according to sckedute,

It is recommended thot, wherever possible, a daily period of
at least 45 mimates in longth toe devoted to the physical ©
and health education progrem with three to four periods devoted
to instruction in physical education activities and one to two
periods devoted to specific health instruction.

The physical ond health education veriods mist be at least 30
minutes in length. Before school, recess, noon, or after
school periods ave aot generally considered or used as regular
instructional paviods, bus they arc usually free play or labor-
atory periods during which pupils play indepondent of any re-
gular schedulc, even though: they may be supervised.

These periods may not be counted as instructional periods un-
less the school day is definitely lengthonod or so arranged

as to include thom os regular class periods,

The intorpretation of the time allotment is that a minimum of
three reguler class poriods per week per child are expected.
It is rocommonded, but not roquirod, that opportunity for
additional participation and play be provided cither during

or after school hours in which pupils may play for the sake

of individual onjoyment and recreation and may put into prac-
tice the instruction they receive during tho reguler class
period,

For the school year 1932-1933 part-time teachers of physical
and health education mst have a minimm of six somester
hours college credit in this field. Boginning with the
school year 1934-1935 the part-time teacher must have twelve
semester hours credit in physical ond health education, and
beginning with the school year 1935-1936 part-time teachers
mist have eighteen semesters college credit. All teachers

of physical education mist hold a special certificate in this
subject by 1935-1936,

In schools of such size and organization that each teacher
must take charge of a group of pupils at the physical educ-
ation period, such teachers would not be classed as part-time
teachers. In such cases, however, the teacher who is respon~
sible for any part of tho physical education program mst
have at least six semester hours crodit in physical and health
education.

Required activity or non=credit college courses do not count
in determining this qualification. In such schools where
each teacher has a part in teaching tne ontire program, only
one-half credit will be allowed that school, This is in line
with the general classification and accrediting standards

and procedure of the State Department of Education,
