Underlying such aims must be the purpose to promote the normal growth and organic development of the individual, conserve his health and provide a fair degree of strength and endurance, and to secure an erect and self-respecting carriage of the body and the neuromuscular control required for prompt and accurate response and graceful and effective movements.

But the teacher’s vision should not be bounded by the limits of the school or college or university period. To engender in youth an intelligent and healthful interest that shall lead to lifelong practice of forms of active exercise which favor not only a continued high level of physical efficiency but also mental sanity and stimulating social contact is certainly not the least service he may seek to render. “SCOPE. 1. The scope or range of physical education is suggested by what has already been said. Physical examinations intended to reveal the condition and needs of the individual and to allow the application of various tests constitute a necessary introduction and accompaniment.

Special courses in school hygiene and in the theory of physical education should be added in normal schools, colleges, and universities, in order that students preparing for the teaching profession may be adequately trained under the most favorable conditions.
