13. A special program has been arranged for physical education

students. This program will give the prospective teachers

an opportunity to take part in a professional program, and

also to

associate with teachers now in the field.

i4. The work of the association is not completed when the

convention is over. Some of the things we hope to

accomplish in Kansas are;

1- #he securing of a state director of hefllgth and

physical education;

More rigid certification of teachers;

Minimum standards for hefildth and physical education
programs in the various schools in Kansas;

A more comprehensive understanding of the velstlonis
existing between health, physical education and recreation;
A deeper supresiattwn af the place of the above program

in the task of education children to live in a

democracy;$

And last, to secure the cooperation and support of

the physical education department at Kansas University.
