You must have 19 hours of oducation, Ruth, 4 hours of which are
practice teaching. These coursos, as you can understand, are very im~
portant for thoy give the teacher an insight into the needs anu methods
of handling studonts and ways of proscenting materials to those students.

How many hours must I havo for graduation?

You must havo 124 hours for graduation, Ruthe At least 30 of
thoss must bo in physical education; 19 hours of cducation, and 20 hours
ina minore Too often, particularly in Kansas, the schools are unable
to afford an instructor who teaches physical education alone. This minor
makes it possible for the physical education instructor to teach another
subject. We only hope that before long the legislature of Kansas will
pass moro stringont laws governing the roquirement of physical education
in all tho schools, then our majors will teach only physical cducation.
During the war & states conacted laws for state-wide physical cducatione
In 1923, 20 additional states followed. Today, Kansas is one of the
very few states that does not have such a law
Is the physical education major a particularly difficult course?

I wish I could have the girls, themselves, hore to answer that
for you, Ruthe I am sure thoy would say that it is cc. tainly not a snap
course, nor is it an unfair one. Thoy resent the insinuation that is so
often an. that physical cducation is an easy coursc. This course re=
quires not only mental ability but physical coordinstion and stamina as
well. The strain on a physical education teacher is more, I believe, than
on any other teacher for she must not only kmow her natoricl, and be able
to present it, but sho must be able to ins*ill onthisicsm into her students
and be physically able to be active for at loust 6 neurs a daye

How do the facilitics and equipment of your department compare

with those of othor schocls?
