Well, thank you, John. You know the Kansas Health
and Physical Education Association has one of the
planks in its platform the giving of academic
eredit for physical education. In fact, in 57
states I think this is being done now.

Well, of course, we give partial credit fcr partial
time, but I believe physical education ougrt to b>
en the same credit basis with any other subject
when the same amcunt of time and study and thought~-
fulness is devoted to physical education. Why
shouldn't it be that way? It is a most worth while
thing for the child to learn how £0 improve his
health and physique.

I am glad to hear you say that because you fully
realize the value of a healthy mind in a healthy
bedy. And it is good of you to take time from
your busy administrative work at the Lawrence High
School to contribute further to the great work of
physical education in its relation to the American
program of education which we are emphasizing this
week.
