%viL4inia .8na 1inetugiAL agaiIIst health produced by the current stand- ard of living is and has aiways been the task of physical education teachers. The standards of living of our cur-. rent generation make. the problem of deveioping such bodies more and more comipicated 'and mùore.and more dif- ficit.'rhe entire last decade of phy- sical eéducations hi story has been de- voted to controversy as to the rela tive. part calisthenics shiould play, in. the regular physical educationi course. Soille exýtremists hold that there should be. no caiisthenics but al play, and others hold that calisthenics should be the important p)art of the~ î rogramn. lu1 111, iette ve have both in our regiilar public school course as weii as other things that .we hav-e found necessartv to th.e developinent of th, pupil. \e put I)otlicalistliëiics and gaines'in bécause we believe each hlas a place. Organiz.ed games like foot- h ail, basketball, kickbali, volley bail, playgrouind bal etc. nmaV bc given over-emphasis 1y the world at large, particularly as applied to thec coliegi- ate brand, ye t no oie i deiîi- they hav-e a vital place in modlern life'and are valuable ini teaching citi zenship. coordination, leadership, persistence, anid 'determinatioi; qualities that have, a carrv-over value in later ile. Sitice al education prepares a child for fu- ture'.ife,,certainl.y no one will ques- tionI the fact that citizenship. coordi- nation, persîstence, anid deteri»nation are inost necessarv in ii anykînd of aiter life in tvhich the bot or girl de- sires to partake. Corrective Gynrnattics WVe cloak our calisthenics under tiue head of corrective gymnastics but the two are fuidamiettall> -the saine andl oti identical importance. The average child o f grammar school; age tarts on the ,road to .:stopouldne, when he starts to school. Corrective gvnastics sees that he sits correctly. so that his lungs will have plenty of air; sees that lie holds his head erectly; secs that he stands, walks, and sits with .chest eievated and bodv\ erect; Correct posture ji: the only reason for- corrective exercises and correct posture is vital to a 1hieathvu hodiv maxiumum emtciency. iThe physical education departmnent endeavors to teach these habits. We do flot always attain this ideal but, we are constantly endeavoring to attain it. 'We are frequenly cbang-. ïng: oue program' to fit the highest standardsý and to meet the complica- tions of modemn lifç. We are prepar - ing the pupils' bodies to coniform with the highest type of. manhood and Womanhood 9f our. times and future times. H.althful Occupation' In the kindergarten and. first grades, the childý is mostlv occupied. with growing. The main objective in these grades is to keep him busY with heaithful occupation and hence our physical program overiaps. other programns and is left entirelvi the hands of the teacher. Developing a sense of rhythm, teaching him con- trol of bhis feelings, teaching hih to' finish ýthe task he has begun 'are the main provinces- of the physical. edu- cation program w'th these age groups. The child is 9trictly individual and. l)ecause he is not group-coiiscious, cannot 'be appealed 'to aiong those 'fies. Folk dances, hopping and skip- ping to musîc, tapping time with bis drum and toy orchestra instrume hts are the means we haveý of arriving at the aforementioned results. Made Croup Constiqua. In the second grade we start train- ing the child to community conscious - ness. We let hlm play circle gaines wherein the entire group participates. *We teach him heaith habits, the care of his teeth, his. hands, his ears, his face, etc. We let hini run a great deai. We continue, the rhythm Nvèrk started in the lower grades, spending a great deal of tinie on rhythm playi and folk dances., We begin drilling him in correct standing and sitting positions. We,"let ,hlm express himsei.f by comn.petitive relays wýherein one group, competes against. the« other. Winning. is îiot stressed in this grade nor in anv higher grade. Correetive *Work FoIIows In the third grade we begin our cor- rective work in earnest. In thi.s grade the. thin drooplng chou ideýrs begin to' I.I the LAlr AIrad Ie. 'Corrective exercisee are continuedl for. both boys and -girl- wth the ' came attention, to straight bodies, erect heads, and strong abdomin- aimscles as has marked the lower g'rades. Ilere more than ever we em- phasize emotional control. Cool, qulckiy functioning brama 'are found to be neces- sary ln competitive sports. Practlcaliy ail of the fifth grade chlld's games are of a competitiýve nature, again tàklng advantage of the childs own Inclina- tion. Sportsmanchip wlth ail It stands for, good loser, graclous wlnner, cour- teousness toward opponents, honiesty, fairpiay. and wlse leadership a-e drum- med into the child's consclousness wlth' persistence. Health habits have become a rote with hlm by now but, they,, along wlth the qualties mentioned-above, are flot aliowed to be forgotten a.nd we hope «are carried over Into after life. OPerfote Leagues From the fifth -grade on, ourý progra m les dlvlded , uto, physicai education for' g'ils and physical education for boys. C.ynmasium class es are seaparated, with ,i 'wornan instructor in charge of the girls and a man in charge of the boys. Girls in the sixth, seventh, ~ elghth grades have dancing, correct ive work, and competitive athietie. Boys have cor- rective work and competitive iathietics. Coretv work in both instances 'em- ifraces marching, apparatus work, es- peclally for boys, and groupgaines..1 The athletlc beagues In case of ths% girls 4consiat of leagues ln kickbali, volley bail, basketball, playground bail, and traciç. In the case of the boys they, ,consist of football, speedball, playground bail and track. One group of contestatf ' ompetec with the other groupa of con- teëstants of the . ame ability to determine championships ln sport. A new system of classification whereln boys and girls of the came height, welght, antd physical ability compete only with boys and girls- ofthe saine helgb.t, weight, and physical strength was adopted this year. We feel tha.t it is a fal'rer system of competition and over-developed boys and girls now vompete with boys and girls of like strength even. though they m~ust com- pete wlth pupils ln grades aboye theirs and !kewlse the under-developed child competes with chiidren.of lîke physical, ability even though It means competing- wlth children in iower grades.
