Physical education builds strong bodies and alert minds Because modern industry has given man more labor-saving devices which cut down his need tor physical exertion and at the same time increase his leisure time, education must be physical as well as academic. Physical education classes provide the opportunity both to improve physical performance and to learn the skills of many leisure time activities, ot which cage ball, speed-a-Way, Wrestling, and judo were new this year. New also this year was the combining ot the boys' and girls' classes for the purpose of learn- ing all the steps of social dancing. Partici- pation in these activities helps to develop quick thinking, physical poise, and emo- tional control. JOAN MACDONALD JAMES SWANSON, B.S. of Ed. M.l.

Look out, here we come, says Mr. Hill as Judy C a m p prepares to get behind the wheel of the dri- ver training rar. Driver training reduces teen-age accidents Driver education is primarily concerned, not so much with the proper driving procedures, but more so with the development ot sportsmanlike driving attitudes. Statistics released by the American Automobile Association prove the value ot driving courses in high schools. There are titty per cent fewer traffic accidents am-ong teenagers who have had driver education, Driver training pays ott in terms ot money for high school boys, too. Many insurance companies all-ow lower premiums for male drivers under twenty- tive who have taken dri- ver training in high school than lor boys who learned on their own. For the nine year period between six- teen and twenty-tive years ot age, this averages a two - hundred - dollar sav- A ing. Education pays divi- dends!
