PROFESSIONAL TRAINING IN PHYSICAL EDUCATION AT THE UNIVERSITY.-In addition to the program of physical education for the
general student body of the University, there should be offered in the
College of Education professional training courses leading to the bachelor
of science degree. These courses should be offered as there is a
demand for special teachers in the high schools of physical education
and supervision of health and physical education in the system. It is
hoped that such demand will arise within a few years to warrant an
offering something like the following:
FIRST YEAR
General college course directed toward the sciences, especially biology.
SECOND YEAR
General college course directed toward the sciences, especially psychology, anatomy, and physiology.
THIRD YEAR AND FOURTH YEAR
Courses of the type given for the normal school more detailed and
providing more practice. At least 3 hours a week for one-half year
to be devoted to practice teaching.
The course for supervisors should provide in the third and fourth
years less practice and more theory particularly in (a) the organization
and administration of physical education, (b) tests and measurement
of results, (c) management of school meets, (d) educational hygiene,
(e) personal hygiene applied, and (f) health examinations. It would
be desirable for the University to admit for the supervisors course graduates of the School of Nursing who had had experience in the schools.
HEALTH EDUCATION IN THE NORMAL SCHOOLS.-Teachers of
health education are to be trained in the normal schools in a manner
similar to the training for physical education. The students will be
regular classroom teachers. Five hours a week for one semester should
be given to health education. This course should have the following
content:
(a) Forty (40) hours would be given to health supervision covering morning inspection and physical examination of skin, eyes (condition
