the elementary level and two on the intermediate or the advanced
level; and he is expected to master them as well as the staffs

of English, mathematics, or history expect him to master the
subjects of their departments. These physical education skills
should be so well learned that they will produce both immediate
recreational benefits and carry-over values for the future. It is
clear that the accomplishment of these objectives, as well as of
the more purely developmental objectives, demands fer more time >
than is now allotted. 2

From time to time educators tend to lose sight of the
importance of the more purely physical and physiological objectives
of sound bodiss with adequate strength, endurance, agility, and
poise, and of the ability to perform many fundamental physical
and recreational skills with competence and with ease. The
importance of these factors has been known by physical educators
for generations, but it is frequently only in times of national
emergency that the facts assume their true significance to
educators generally. The present time is one when these facts
should become clear to everyone.

It is proposed that the program of physical education for
men at the State University of Iowa be extended to the point where
it at least approaches adequacy. [It is not proposed that the
major content of the present program, which is reasonably satisfactory
in this respect, be completely changed. It is proposed, however,
that this program be extended, intensified, and improved, both in
scope and in execution. It should be extended to include activites
that will be of use to those young men who are soon to be inducted
into the service of the armies of the Unitec States. It should be
intensified largely through added time allotments and through a
greater emphasis on dosage and on training than is possible under
present conditions. The program must, however, remain one that
with easily made changes would be a satisfactory program after the
War. a

TIME

It is felt that the time allotment for physical education
should be adapted to the nssds of the individual. It is proposed,
that the basic tims allotment be three periods a week for all
students who are above the minimwa standard of physical fitness
(primarily strength and endurance) but who have not attained a.
satisfactory standard. For those students who are adjudged to be
markedly lacking in physical fitness, that is, who are below the
minimum standard, it igs proposed that two periods a week be added,
making a total of five periods a week. The additional two periods
will be devoted primarily to training for the improvement of
physical fitness. For students placed on the restricted program by
the Health Service, an appropriate activity program that is remedial
and conditioning will be worked out in collaboration with the Health
