some of the summer school catalogs of other universities I notice
thet regular activity courses are taught for the benefit of the
teachers enrolled in summer schoole One course that seems to be
very popular at Colunbia University in New York is the elementary
swimming classe We might offer something like that, giving our
teachers an opportunity to learn to swime Many of them have no
other chance, and since the University has the pool it would be

a good way of introducing them to our departmente I am sure they
would be willing to pay the small fee for the privilege of enrolling
in such an activity coursee

That would be for all people enrolled in the summer session,
but I was also thinking of some other courses in skills and physical ~
activity similar to the courses we offer our majorse These courses
would be valuable to supplement the teaching knowledge of the
physical education teacher.

The idea of offering skills courses in the summer was men-=
tioned to me by Mre Kemedy, director of physical education at
Westport High School in Kansas City at the time some of our fencers
exhibited there. A course of this kind might include such games as
archery, badminton, fencing, swimming, tennis, softbell, tether ball,
loop temnis, and other recreative games that we would find it neces-
sary to offer. We also might offer a rhytim course during the sumer,
for both men and womene We could include in this most of the rhythms
that the students would like to learne

If you should like to discuss these ideas with me at any time
I would be glad to see you, and possibly we could work the whole thing
out much better than presented in this bare outline.

Sincerely yours,
