My dear Dre Allen:

Your letter of May 18th was very interesting indeed.
First let me congratulate you on the splendid opportunity which
has come to you in heading up the Division of Physical Education
and in working with the School of Education at the University.
It seems to me that that offers a splendid opportunity for
future development.

I deo not know that I can offer you any suggestions
that would not naturally occur to you in any case. You are
already familiar with the American Physical Education Assoc-
iation and its officers and also your middle west district,

I am sureée The names and leaders for these are in the Journal
of Health and Physical Education and you will want to get in
touch with them if you are not already sow I should think
also that you would want to be in touch with the National ©
Recreation Association of which Mre He. Se Braucher is the
Secretary, 315 4th Avenue, New York City and you doubtless
have access to their magazine.

I am turning your letter over to Professor Affleck,
who has charge of our Placement Bureau, and who is in touch
with all the men and know those that are available. I am
sure he can suggest several men to you whe would be desirable
for the thing you have in mind. My own thought runs first to
He He Clarke at Syracuse,University and also F. Je Moench,
Directer of Physical Education at Cortland, New York Normal
School. Neither of these men, I think, however, have quite
finished their Doctorate requirements. Another who might
interest you is W. C. Batchelor, College of Commerce and Ad-
ministration, Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio. Also
perhaps He Ae Lorenz, now at East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania.
I am sure, however, that Prefessor Affleck can give you other
names and details regarding these much more fully that I cane
