This department, through instruction in hygienic living and the supervision of gymnastics, athletics, and play activities, aims to develop and maintain in the students bodily health, strength, and endurance, wholesome attitudes, desirable habits and skills, to the end that they may lead more efficient lives, and by placing emphasis on the theory and methods of physical education, to prepare students to teach physical training in the grades. In order to accomplish this two-fold purpose a physical examination is given every student upon entrance, and all are required to take some form of physical training throughout the four years. Athletics (under the supervision of an Athletic Association) forms an important part of the work. There are contests in games and athletics, culminating in a Field Day program.
The object
of Courses 101, 102 and 103 is to give to the student a large amount of material to use in her teaching with principles of selection, and at the same time provide opportunity for wholesome physical exercise and the development of desirable personal qualities and attributes associated with group activities. Courses 214, 215, 224 and 225 are especially designed to meet the law requiring the teaching of physical education in the grades.
